My Favorite Red Lipsticks

Finding the perfect red lipstick often times is like finding the perfect pair of jeans. And just like denim, you can’t have just one pair. 

There is something about a good red lipstick that makes me feel very bold, confident and empowered, but they’re not all created equal. Red lipsticks can be blue based or orange, where my preference is a blue based one. 

Here is a list of red lipsticks and stains that are super pigmented and will stand the test of time.
