My Top 10 Red Lip Products!

I LOVE red lips! I think red lips suits me more than any other colour; and it just gives me so much confidence. If I could only choose one make up product to wear, it would definitely be lipstick! It just completes an outfit. The right shade of red looks perfect on all skin tones and red lips also looks so classy. I wear red lips all year round so I decided to choose my top 10 red lip products from my extremely big collection. Most of these are super affordable and can be easily found at your local drugstore. 

 Here are a few of my favourite red lip products. I have also added swatches for you. If you would like any more information on the products please comment below although I will try my hardest to write everything I know! :)


(I have lost the picture with all the lipsticks, so have just uploaded the glosses :') )

MUA - Scarlett Siren 

1 - MUA Matte Lipstick in Scarlett Siren. The matte range from MUA was released this year and has been sought after by many! It is usually sold out in stores and online so I was very lucky to get the whole collection when they first released. I wasn't too impressed with the other 4, but this one is lovely! And for £1 only you cannot go wrong at all! Scarlett Siren is a true red that looks the same on the lips as it does in the tube. This is a factor I really like as I have tried many lipsticks that look amazing in the tube and fail to impress on the lips. Te lipstick applies very nicely and glides across my lips. It does not feel dry at all. It feels pretty creamy which I didn't expect as it is a matte shade. The lipstick does not look cheap on the lips at all and what I really enjoy is; as it starts to wear off, it does not look patchy.

MAC - Ruby Woo

2. The famous Ruby Woo by MAC. I have never come across a person that dislikes Ruby Woo! It is the perfect red that suits every skin tone. Whether you're super fair or very tan.This is my all time favourite lipstick and one of the best products I have ever purchased. This lipstick makes my teeth look very white which is a bonus. There is one problem with this lipstick and this is the drying factor. It makes my lips very dry and it is my only MAC lipstick that does so. The lipstick has a Retro Matte finish and is just such a beautiful colour. This lipstick lasts super long as it is very opaque and you only need to apply a little. I think this red suits me the most out of all the reds and it looks beautiful with a neutral eye. The lipstick has bluish undertones so is perfect for pale girls. For £15 it is a little expensive, but definitely worth the money. If you are looking for the 'perfect' red this is the one to go for.

Barry M - 158

This lipstick is a very wearable red. It is perfect for those who are not completely comfortable in wearing bright colours on the lips as it is not very pigmented. The lipstick leaves a nice sheer  colour on your lips so is perfect for every day wear. The lasting power on this lipstick isn't amazing but still lasts a few hours. The lipstick does not make my lips dry at all and it feels nice and moisturising.

NYX - Snow White

Snow White is a gorgeous vampy red colour. It is perfect for Autumn-Winter and it looks great on most skin tones. I personally prefer this more on paler skin tones. The lipstick is semi-matte but very creamy. The lipstick is super opaque and long lasting which is amazing for the price. This retails for under £4 which is such a bargain! I like the packaging on the NYX round lipsticks as you can see the colour on the bottom of the tube which is helpful when they are stored in my lipstick holders.

Maybelline - Pleasure Me Red

If you want a blood red lipstick with a blue undertone this is the perfect lipstick for you! The creamy moisturising texture of these is to die for and they feel so good on the lips throughout the day. These are easy to remove with make up wipes and I never find that they leave patches on my lips or stick on the 'dry' bits. The packaging on the lipstick is pretty and classic although it is a little on the big side so can take up a bit of space in my small make up bag.

YSL Rouge Pur Couture - Shade 9

I really like these glossy stains by YSL and I think the packaging is beautiful. The packaging looks very classy and expensive and I adore the gold. The pigmentation on the gloss is excellent and really lasts all day. Because it is a stain it just stays on the lips for hours. It is a perfect true red colour and you can build up the opaqueness on it. This is on the expensive side but we all have to treat ourselves once in a while ;)

Rimmel Apocalips - Big Bang

The Rimmel apocalips range were a huge hit when they released and I love every single one of them. They are super opaque and literally last hours! They are a gloss that dries to a lipstick and have a beautiful velvety look to them. These do not dry my lips out at all.

Helen E - Shade 22

This is a gorgeous red lipgloss that is super opaque and long lasting. It is pretty sticky which is a down side to the product and because of this I do not reach for it often. I think the packaging is horrible and for £15 I expect something a lot nicer! This is a lipgloss that can be worn alone which I like.

MUA Luxe - Atomic

This was another huge hit from MUA! People went crazy for these and every time I check out the MUA website they are sold out. I very luckily found mine in Superdrug and they only had a few left. These are very similar to the Lime Crime Velveteens which are a LOT more costly so this is a perfect dupe. This lasts through everything I am telling you! You can eat, drink, lick your lips etc with this and it will stay put! Only after a few hours will you notice the colour wearing off towards the centre of your lips. They are very easy to apply and the packaging is amazing! They could easily pass for a high end product and I would honestly pay up to £15 for this product.

Rimmel Apocalips - Stellar

Last but not least is Stellar by Rimmel. This is another one of the Apocalips and again an amazing product! The colour is a lovely coral red and it is very opaque. I definitely recommend these. They have a wide range of colours, so if red isn't for you, you should definitely try another colour from the range.
