The Glamorous Classic Red
Glide 91787 Lipstick is the specific vivid, confident red of classic red lipstick — a colour that has always meant boldness, glamour, and presence. Slightly warmer and more vivid than Cardinal's clean standard red, with the specific confident quality of a statement colour. For quilts where red should feel glamorous, bold, and unapologetically present, Lipstick is the most evocative Glide red.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Lipstick differ from Candy Apple?
Candy Apple is the maximum-saturation lacquered red; Lipstick is a touch deeper and warmer, with the sophisticated confidence of classic makeup red rather than carnival brightness. Fashion-inspired and glamour quilts read best in Lipstick; novelty and festival designs suit Candy Apple.
Is Lipstick or Valentine better for a romantic quilt?
Valentine leans pink-red — the romantic greeting-card red — while Lipstick is a fuller, more assertive true red. Sweet and soft romantic quilts favour Valentine; bold, dramatic romance and statement hearts favour Lipstick.
What backgrounds make Lipstick quilting stand out most?
Lipstick delivers maximum drama on black, charcoal, and winter-white grounds, where the trilobal sheen catches light against the contrast. On busy prints it recedes; reserve it for solids and near-solids when the red stitching itself is the design feature.
