Red Lipsticks
There is very little in our make-up bag as iconic as a great red lipstick. It has the ability to turn a plain outfit into something chicer and instantly more pulled-together. We love every shade from pillar-box red to a deep cherry – here are our ten all-time faves that we would buy and recommend time and time again.
Stila Beso£ 16
This colour will suit many skintones, from olive to super-pale. It’s matt but not drying – a great everyday red.
Christian Louboutin Diva£ 70
A deeply saturated red with a matt finish, we like to smudge it on for a fashionably imperfect stained look.
By Terry My 17 Red£ 25
This is a lovely, wearable, day red with a creamy consistency that glides on matt.
Bobbi Brown Sunset Orange£ 27
Come summer a good geranium shade is a must – this Bobbi Brown version is one of our all-time faves.
NARS Cruella£ 20
When it comes to achieving a berry lip, you can’t beat ‘Cruella’. One of our favourite shades in this crayon range.
Hourglass Icon£ 25
Icon by name and icon by colour. This is a beautiful shade of ruby red that goes on super-matt – a fab evening lipgloss.
Smashbox Infrared£ 17
A great deep red on blondes – not too heavy or berry, but still dramatic on.
MAC Fashion Legacy£ 17.50
One of the best all-day matt lipglosses out there. All the shades are a pop of vivid colour, but we particularly love the ‘Fashion Legacy’ red.
Topshop Falling Fast£ 8
A little gem on the high street, ‘Falling Fast’ is the perfect coral summer lip.
Charlotte Tilbury Tell Laura£ 23
An orange-red that is never too bright, ‘Tell Laura’ is a seasonless formula.
NARS Red Square£ 20
Another crayon favourite, Red Square is Jenna Lyons’ go-to red and that’s reason enough for us.
