Classic Red Lips: My Favorites

There is nothing more classic about makeup than red lips. They suit everyone because of the thousands of shades and sheens available. I decided to pick out six of my favorite reds and share them with you. I have a English rose complexion but feel these reds would suit any skin tone.

A cult product from MAC Cosmetics, Ruby Woo is the most matte red lipstick available. You nearly have to drag it across the lips its so matte and solid. This classic red is unmovable once set into the lips. This is what I wore on my wedding day. It is absolutely kissable without transfer. I do not recommend it for dryer lips unless you prep the lips with chap-stick or MAC prep+prime lip primer.

This is definitely a color for the more adventurous type. This nearly neon orange-red is the perfect summer lip with a velvet matte finish that makes the lips pop! Especially recommended on nights out when your tan is intense, this color glows.

This is the perfect product for those with dry lips, especially those who find their lips cake easily with tube lipstick on. A pink-red, this color gives that vintage flare and oddly enough, this product smells really really good.

Not everyone feels they can rock a bright red lipstick so luckily there is this. A sheer classic red to give a soft glamorous look with a satin finish and a lot of lip hydration. This particular red is a bit pink but Chanel makes many shades of red!

Some want to a natural look but some want to be 'in your face' fabulous, like me. Well, this is the stuff. Most shocking pigmentation, most intense velvet matte finish, and most swagger because it was designed by the Almighty Jeffree Star. This product is hard to get your hands on but if you see it in stock, GRAB IT!

Lush Cosmetics are always a surprise to me on their luxurious feel and intense pigmentation (though slightly staining on the lips). 

Each LUSH color is given a name relevant to a trait or emotion you need more of in your life or that you possess already. Any LUSH team member can assist you in picking colors through their color wheel service or use their website and see what colors inspire your mind the most.
