We are obsessed with red lately! Could you show us swatches to understand it better
You forgot to add Maybelline color show red lipstick that’s the affordable and best lipstick I have used yet.
I love a red lip! I think it can set off a whole look perfectly and makes a bold statement. There looks like there is a lot of great shades in this post!
I am not very familiar with makeup brands as I do not always use make up. But for lipstick, I use Revlon and Maybelline. Pretty good.
What a fantastic selection and reviews of lipsticks. Mac is one of the brands I use, but I have heard great things about L’Oreal’s Colour Riche. Thanks for this.
I have used the Mac brand and Loreal the others are all new to me . It’s surprising how many different shades of red there are in the different brands.
Red lipstick is my go-to and my absolute favorite. You can’t beat a classic red lip. I love the MAC Ruby Woo as well and so many other prestige brands of lipstick. I like the ones with a blue undertone that really makes teeth shine. loved your post.
I agree, red lips are bold, classic, and look good on everyone. I used to wear red lips a lot for dance but never in my personal life. I might have to try out some of these shades!
Out of all the red I love ruby woo most. I am totally a red lipstick girl. Will add those shades in my collection which I don’t have. Thank you for sharing.
I am a sucker of red lipsticks and your awesome post gave me a few more worthy options ♥️
Thanks for the list… Red is my favorite shade as it goes well with most of my outfits, Currently I am using lakme 9 to 5 and its pretty awesome.
Wow! Such an amazing list. I absolutely love lipsticks and usually use MAC and Faces but will soon try L’Oreal one.
Who wouldn’t like Red lipstick, its a sure shot killer. But yes all reds does not suit every face, hence one must check and take note of suitability. I am more towards subtle red.
Wow those are so beautiful selection of Lipsticks, Looking forward to trying one of these soon!
That’s an awesome list! I am never sure, which red to pick, your list is handy for me.
I have ruby woo and it is indeed one of tee best reds. I’m intrigued to try NYC and sugar shades.
I have been much into red lipsticks but your post makes me wanna get one and give it a try.
Ruby Woo is my fave.But these have given me lipstick.goals for next buying spree.
I am a sucker for red lipsticks. I don’t seem to get enough of red lipsticks. I already have finished 9 to 5 and I own Maybelline scarlet red as of now. I would also love to add riveting rouge by Street wear to that list. 😉
Sexy lip colors these brands offer.. i really love MAC Lakme, Loreal and Color Bar.. your post really updates about cool brands and colors.. Thanks a lot for sharing.. 🙂
Scarlet O’Hara and mid night rose both are my current favorite. thanks for your recommendation.
Scarlet O’Hara is definitely my first choice for a red lipstick because it lasts very long and gives a very nice color.
Red is one of the favourite colour of mine and I simply love red lipsticks. In fact recently I ordered one from Maybelline and love to wear it often. I really liked all the brand that you have listed out here. Definitely going to try out one of these soon .
Scarlet O’Hara is on my wish-list 🙂 You have included all great options yaa! I’m not a lipstick person and have never thought of red but this post makes me feel like buying one 🙂
My favourite red lipsticks are Ruby Woo and Chambor extreme matte in Fiery Red. I gave not really used the ones mentioned in the list but would love to try.
thanks a ton for the list. i am a red lipstick lover and have like 3 shades already and cant get enough of it.
True that Red lipsticks are must have in a girls vanity and nice compilation .
I always thought red lipsticks weren’t made for wheatish skin tone but I have colorbar and loreal to my collection which adds oomph and compliments well with my outfit.. A must have!
Loved the MAC ruby woo shade. Red lip colour is really fascinating to me and these are some great choices to opt from.
Wow. These shades are totally my type. I would love try them all especially the NYX professional!
I have Mac ruby woo and it’s such a lovely red but it is so drying on lips. I hardly reach for it anymore. These days some brands do soft matte lipsticks that are much better formulas and longer lasting just like Mac.
All the featured lipsticks are really good. I love reading about this.
