These Are The Best Red Lipsticks To Shop Now

Red lipstick has always been a classic choice for the winter months, especially around Valentine’s Day, and this year is no exception. A swipe of red lipstick will literally transform any and every outfit. Caroline Barnes, make-up artist extraordinaire, says, “Everyone can wear a Hollywood red.”

Thanks to its allure, it has timeless appeal whether you’re 20 or 60 years old, but there’s a lot to think about when you’re choosing ‘the one’, such as skin tone, colour, and finish. Even your skin’s texture should be considered, “a red lip can pull out all the red in your skin and face, so if you suffer from pigmentation or bleary red eyes, suitably prepping and shading your skin is a must.” Not sure where to start? We’ve chosen our all-time favourite statement lipsticks to rock.
