These days, life for me is moving very fast. I'm going to make time for an update post, which I will probably do on the Tube first, then here. But today, we're talking makeup! My bestie charged me to do a post on my favorite red lipsticks and I think it's the perfect time of year for such a topic. A couple of years ago, she fell in love with one brand's color and stuck to it, but now it's discontinued. Being the makeup fanatic that I am, she enlisted my help on finding a new statement RED. Below are my top picks.
6. Rich Ruby by Maybelline (Creamy Matte) $5.59
This one is the most recent of the group to my collection, but is already in my top six. It's a deep orange red, comfortable on the lips and easily accessible at most drugstores.
5. Cream Lip Stain #01 by Sephora (Matte) $14
If you're looking for an affordable, classic red liquid lipstick, then look no further. These dry down to a matte and don't budge (unless eating oily foods) and are pretty comfortable for a liquid lipstick.
4. Ruby Woo by MAC (Retro Matte) $17
Of all the lipsticks mentioned, this one tugs at the lips a bit and is the most dry looking of the formulas mentioned, but it's also stunning for those same reasons. It looks like you came out the womb sporting a gorgeous red lip.
3. Matte Confident by Milani (Creamy Matte) $4.99
Milani has become one of my favorite drugstore brands in the last year. Their lip products are comparable to any high end brand and super affordable. This color is a rich, blue-based red.
2. Diva by MAC (Matte) $17
This to me is the perfect vampy red and one of my all time favs! When I want to feel sexy and powerful at the same time, this is the red I reach for.
1. Cherry Blossom by Coloured Raine (Liquid Matte) $17
Last year around this time, I went on a hunt to find this color. It was sold out EVERYWHERE!! I finally found the only Ricky's that had it in stock and had it shipped to me. The hype surrounding this red (blue-based) is REAL and it was one of the best lip purchases ever made. It looks perfect on most complexions!
