Beso is my absolute favourite red lipstick ever. I always feel ridiculously happy when I'm wearing this as well as feeling more confident and put together. It's a liquid lipstick so it does dry down more than your standard matte lip but the formula's so comfortable to wear that you won't notice the difference. This is one of the brighter reds, with more of an orange undertone than a blue undertone but it still gives the same finish and you're bound to get a few compliments when wearing this.
Fiery is a deeper red shade that has more of a brown undertone running through it. This is perfect for those of you who aren't a fan of or aren't confident enough to rock a brighter red lip. It's darker tone still compliments a range of skintones and it's matte finish isn't uncomfortable or drying to wear. I do recommend wearing a lip liner with both this and Beso just to create a sharper, cleaner edge.
Kat Von D's Outlaw is one of my favourite reds. It's bright, it's long wearing and it's comfortable. I wore this tons this time last year as it just screams Christmas. A little more orange toned than some in this edit but still not that orange it looks like a tomato red. It's nice in between with a lighweight formula that doesn't dry lips out or gather unattractively in the corners of your mouth. Guranteed to be worn a ton in the next few weeks.
If you want something that's going to last through your Christmas dinner, this Maybelline liquid lipstick is going to be your saviour. The SuperStay Matte Inks can withstand even the greasiest of foods without budging. It's formula is completely different to that of a normal matte lipstick, in fact it's a bit of a game changer, something I can't get enough of. It doesn't dry down to your traditional powder matte finish which makes it comfortable to wear for a good seven to eight hours without the need to touch up.
Maybelline's range of traditional matte lipsticks are amazing. And the shade Rich Ruby which is a dupe for Russian Red (coming up). It has a gorgeous blue tone to it that makes fairer skintones look even lighter (in a good way, think Snow White) and teeth look whiter. I love pairing this with big brows, big lashes and flawless skin. It's creamy formula sits comfortably on the lips and can easily be worn for hours without drying or becoming uncomfortable but the creaminess of it all means that it'll transfer easier than others I've shown.
I don't know if you can get this next lipstick still but I couldn't not feature it. The Loreal and Balmain collaboration lipstick in Domination is a perfect red for a multitude of skin tones. It's not a classic matte finish, it still has a little slip and slide but it doesn't transfer easily and you can happily wear it for hours at a time without the need to touch up or removing it all completely.
This lipstick I know you can still buy. It's a classic blue toned red, my favourite kind in fact. Blue toned reds look stunning on so many different skintones and really add a pop to any look. This one is more of your traditional matte finish. It can feel slightly uncomfortable on the lips; not as uncomfortable as others, but a little bit of lip balm underneath or over top and you're good to go.
MAC's Russian Red is one of the first true blue toned red lipsticks I fell in love with. It's that classic red shade that anyone can wear and it's comfortable matte finish means it can easily take you from day to night without the need for touch ups. It does transfer slightly but not as badly as the Lancome Absolu Velour that I was tempted to feature but decided not to after a horrifying incident last week with a tuna panini.
Ruby Woo is one of those lipsticks that everyone recognises as soon as you utter it's name. It's one of the trickiest lipsticks ever to wear but with the right prep you can easily pull this legendary lipstick off. More of an orange red than the others, Ruby Woo is guaranteed to garner you a few compliments and I take my hat off to anyone who can wear it all day without feeling like ripping their lips off. I'd love to wear this at Christmas but my lips just wouldn't survive it.
And the final lipstick in this edit, is one I'm not so sure on but it's stunning shade may appeal to some of you. Pure Red from NYX is a classic red shade that verges between being a traditional matte and a satin finish. These are comfortable to wear but do require a touch up or two throughout the day. If you don't mind a lipstick that requires a little more maintenance througout the day then you'll probably get on fine with this one. I however need something more along the lines of Matte Ink or the Stay All Day Liquid Lipsticks when it comes to rocking a red lip.
