If there’s one thing that I can depend on to make a bland look pop, it’s an amazing red lip. Being a new mom, I rarely have time to get super dolled up for a night out. So my new go-to is a simple face with a pop of red.
BUT
the hardest part is finding that perfect go-to red lipstick. There
So to save you all the time and $$, I put together a list of my top go-to red lipsticks.
Fenty Beauty by Rihanna
This is my absolute favorite red. The formula is so smooth, it’s easy to apply, the matte finish is amazing, and it lasts all day. This is the perfect pop of color for any look! The price is fairly high, and I don’t usually spend this much on a lipstick but I promise it does not dissapoint.
MAC Cosmetics
There are several reasons why Ruby Woo is the #1 selling lip color from MAC. This color and quality is worth shelling out a few extra bucks at MAC. The application is smooth and the matte finish is just right. This has been my go-to red lip for years.
ColourPop
This price is an absolute steal, and I LOVE finding great products at an even better price. This brand is a top contender when it comes to products that are incredibly reasonably priced. The color is amazing and the formula is smooth. This is their ultra matte formula so I would always suggest moisturizing lips before application.
Kylie Cosmetics
This one is the priciest on the list. I got lucky and bought it when lip kits were 50% off (huge win!) I really like this color, it’s such a classic red and is super easy to apply.
Side Note: Kylie Cosmetics are made by ColourPop, so if you don’t want to spend this much on a lipstick (totally understandable) you can get the same quality for MUCH less.
Milani
Classic and inexpensive red lip. This one is not as matte as I typically like, so if you are looking for a little more shine or moisture, this one’s for you!
Maybelline
Maybelline Superstay Matte Ink – Pioneer (20)
$7-$10
Sold at: Maybelline, Target, Ulta, and local Walgreens & CVS
This is another inexpensive red that is a goodie! It’s pretty long lasting for a drug store lip stick and good quality for the price.
I really hope you enjoyed reading and found a red lip for you this holiday season! Head over to my Instagram (@Honestlymorgan_) stories to see swatches and pictures of each color!
Happy Holidays!
