Red lipsticks: 10 of the best
When I first started being bold with my lipstick choices, red was my daily go-to. The brighter the better. I'm not quite sure when I began automatically reaching for neutrals. It wasn't that I gave up on red. I just found a neutral lip quick and easy, because what's not to love about something you can put on in seconds without a mirror? But I've begun seeing red again. Red brightens your smile and lifts your demeanour. There's just something about a pop of colour that gives you a different kind of energy. There are the nuanced reds with a hit of orange or pink to add a point of difference, as well as the deeper 'true reds' that are growing in availability and quality. Pigments are also improved (if you have to go over a lip colour numerous times to get the shade you see on the bullet then it really isn't doing its job). Textures are more refined – satin finishes for instance, velvety with just a bit of shine, last longer than they once did. As do the mattes. But not at a cost. In the not so distant past, wearing mattes meant accepting your lips would dry out and resemble a dehydrated road map. Today's great mattes are both dense and hydrating. Add the intensity of a popping red and the result is sensational. 1. Westman Atelier Lip Suede Matte Lipstick in Pip £45, 2. Lisa Eldridge Rouge Experience Refillable Lipstick in Ribbon £44, 3. Hourglass Phantom Volumizing Glossy Balm in Red Zero £36, 4. Nars Explicit Lipstick in Unauthorised £34, 5. By Terry Rouge Opulent Lipstick Collection £49, 6.
