Since Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, I’m on a red kick. I figured now is as good of a time as any to round up my favorite red lipsticks. But don’t just stash away this cherry hue once V-Day is done and gone. Resolve to wear a bold lip on any old occasion! I promise, it’s super fun. 🙂
It’s true what they say: a red lip can instantly elevate your mood and make you feel more put together, even on your most “blah” of days. And while I have a drawer full of nude lipsticks, my tried and true red has always been Jungle Red by NARS. That’s the color I’m wearing here!
My tube is on it’s last leg and I’m about to run out, so I need a restock ASAP. This year I’m hoping to add a couple of other red lipsticks into my repertoire. So from fire engine red to darker, more sultry shades, here’s what’s currently in my shopping bag:
Fenty Beauty, Uncensored: A matte, liquid lipstick in a universally flattering classic red
NARS, Inappropriate Red: A bright, poppy red with a matte finish
NARS, Mysterious Red: A deep crimson red with a velvety finish
Bite Beauty, Hot Tomato: A matte, cool-toned but bright red
Pat McGrath Labs, Blood 2: A high-shine, blue-toned red
NARS Lip Balm, Turbo: A sheet cherry red
Armani Beauty, 400: A neutral red with a satin (not too matte) finish
Charlotte Tilbury, So Red: A classic red with a hint of metallic, in a satin finish
