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.
