Best red lipstick?

40 replies

Beeyump · 28/10/2013 16:44

I have red hair, and have been told by a few people that 'redheads just don't suit red lip colour', that kind of thing. But I LOVE it.
I currently wear MaxFactor Ruby Tuesday
Any recommendations/favourites?

Mac Ruby Woo - very matt

Beeyump · 28/10/2013 16:53

I'm intrigued by MAC - hear so many good things, but I've never tried any of their products. Maybe now is the time!

I have red hair and don't wear any other colour than red lipstick! I like

Soap & Glory Mantrap
Mac Dame
Mac Russian Red
That Rimmel Kate Moss red
No7 Red Carpet
No7 Siren (an orangey red)
No7 Cherry (well, you've got to spend those £3 vouchers somehow)

I am scared of proper bright red lipstick (working up to it!) so I like Revlon Lip Butter in Candy Apple - lovely and sheer but definitely red.

Branleuse · 28/10/2013 17:38

i used to love ruby woo, but i find it a bit drying. I LOVE mac red though. its perfect.

ElizabethBathory · 28/10/2013 17:40

Mac Dubonnet, Diva, Russian Red, Lady Danger, Ladybug, Ruby Woo all worth trying.

Redheads look amazing in red lipstick!!

ElizabethBathory · 28/10/2013 17:41

Oh yes, forgot about Mac Red Branleuse, prob cos the name is so dull, but it's gorgeous.

ElizabethBathory · 28/10/2013 17:42

And yes I have tried all of them Blush

Branleuse · 28/10/2013 17:45

i have red hair too

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 28/10/2013 17:46

Soap and Glory Mantrap here too.

YouCanCallMeBetty · 28/10/2013 18:02

Red hair here too, and after trying lots have settled on Revlon Just Bitten Balm Stain in Romantic - nice warm red but doesn't make my teeth look yellow, and lasts ages.

Beeyump · 28/10/2013 19:04

This is great! Lots of choices to agonise over Grin One thing I'll miss about Ruby Tuesday is the taste though - it is oh so good.

Nars Jungle Red?

motherinferior · 28/10/2013 19:07

Revlon Really Red. It's matt and goes fabulously with red hair. I wear it over Romantic too.

ThePortlyPinUp · 28/10/2013 19:12

I wear red lipstick every day, my favourites are
MUA red £1 and brilliant!
Limecrime Velvetine in red velvet,
Maybeline 18hr Superstay in passionate red,
Rimmel apocolips-I can't remember the shade

MrsCocoa · 28/10/2013 19:24

Chanel: Rouge Allure Lover, but fear it might've been discontinued?
Agree on Revlon lip butter in Candy Apple.

buttercrumble · 28/10/2013 19:27

Tom Fords red collection are all beautiful Smile

bebopanddoowop · 28/10/2013 19:39

I don't have red hair but wanted to add that I think red hair and red lipstick pretty much always looks amazing !

I quite like mine from the dita von teese range by art deco

MsWinnieBaygo · 28/10/2013 19:39

Lancôme Rouge red my lips is good IMO

LillyNotOfTheValley · 28/10/2013 19:43

Any Chanel Coco that has a bit of blue in it, they are really good mosturizers and that is the most important thing with reds

OPeaches · 28/10/2013 19:43

Chanel red, all the way. They only do one red, it suits everyone. It's shade 19 I think. I've got red hair and paleish skin and it looks good on me. It lasts forever and goes on beautifully smoothly. Best lipstick ever in my opinion.

RevoltingPeasant · 28/10/2013 20:46

Lancôme Madame Tulip is a corally red

Also no 256 by them is good.

bottle redhead here!

Beeyump · 28/10/2013 21:05

Feeling very drawn by the sound of that Chanel red.

Yes, yes, buy the Chanel, you will not be disappointed.

cocoleBOO · 29/10/2013 09:08

Can anyone recommend one that has blue in it, but cheaper than Chanel? Grin
