Throughout the years we have always tried new products to see what works and what doesn’t. There are some products that we just don’t need to be sold on, and some have been legendary amongst old Hollywood to present day stars, what is it you asked? It’s Red lipstick and these products will stand the test of time! Some red lipsticks are so iconic we know them by their names Diors 999 Mac’s Ruby Woo and the new kid on the block Narcisse Red a blue red by Glamazon Beauty will surely become a contender amongst Red Lip enthusiasts, along with Hot mama by The Lip Bar! A true beauty lover knows a red lipstick is like the perfect black shoe.
There are different shades of black and styles and you need them all, well the red lipstick is in the same boat, we need every color. You can own a scarlet red, a blue red an orange red and a fire engine red which is a true red…we’re just obsessed with red lipstick and there is a perfect red for every occasion.
As a working celebrity makeup artist here is my list of Red Lipstick must haves!
