A red lipstick is a must-have for every girl’s makeup collection. Put one on and you instantly look sleek and polished. It’s just a perfect statement lip colour.
I actually have a lot more than 5 red lipsticks, but these are my favourite true red shades that are so evening ready and they just make any outfit or makeup look sophisticated and chic.
My favourite red lipsticks
1. MAC Retro Matte lipstick in Ruby Woo.
2. Bobbi Brown Lip Colour in Red.
3. Antipodes Ruby Bay Rouge (previously called Hungry like the Wolf).
4. Estee Lauder Pure Colour Love Lipstick in Bar Red.
5. Clarins Joli Rouge Lipstick in 743 Joli Rouge
My favourite red lipsticks
With so many different red shades out there, there are different undertones and finishes. Orange undertone reds tends to bring out the yellow from my teeth but blue undertone reds can make my teeth look whiter and my skintone brighter.
Creamy, and more moisturising formulas are easier to wear because they are much for forgiving for drier lips and prevents further drying out. Matte formulas can easily accentuate lines and would require a bit more preparation work like exfoliating and priming.
