My Natural Red Lipsticks ft. ILIA Beauty, Vapour Beauty, RMS Beauty, Zuzu Luxe and Honeybee Gardens
I am such a punk when it comes to rocking a red lip. I tell myself to just man up and take one for the team but I envision myself appearing quite clownish when not done properly. So it’s a must that I get it right especially in regards to finding the right shade for me. I’ve been working on it as you can see since I’ve been accumulating as many reds as I have pink lipsticks because a red lip is just so feminine and hot… So check out the reds I have in my collection so far because you might just find one in here for you:
The Classic Cherry: ILIA Beauty’s Bang Bang
Since this lipstick is your classic universal red I feel so confident wearing this because it literally works for every skin tone. It can be built up and can be blotted on for some serious subtle sexiness that probably might just tempt you to keep layering it on. I’m just saying, it’s that good…
Where you can get it: Net-a-Porter, $24 (free ground shipping in the US)
The Fire Engine: Zuzu Luxe’s Starlet
This lipstick has actually been collecting dust in my collection for some time now. It’s the kind of red that is super bright and pigmented, which may be awesome for some but, for me I just cannot get it to work. This red is definitely for the equally sexy and confident woman who can make any lip work. It’s a pretty great lipstick overall but I don’t think this compliments my skin tone very well so NEXT!
Where you can get it: Amazon, $18.15
The Wearable Sheer: Vapour Beauty’s Ravish
Now this lipstick is definitely wearable. It’s a sheer tone burgundy berry red that really compliments my skin tone and isn’t too loud. This is a perfect everyday red if you dare… It’s actually a lipstick that I am not afraid to wear which says a lot because I’m sort of a punk like I said before.
Where you can get it: Amazon, $22 (free shipping)
The Brick Colored Multi-tasker: RMS Beauty’s Rapture
Now, I must admit that I may have bought this initially because I found out that this is one of Miranda Kerr’s favorites. She’s hot, so I thought I want to be hot too. This is definitely a brick red color that looks fab on the cheeks but appeared more on the brownish side on my lips. I’m not too fond of a brown lip so I will always have a special place on my cheeks but never on my lips, for this product.
Where you can get it: Dermstore, $36 (free shipping)
The Inexpensive Rapture Dupe: Honeybee Gardens Desire
This lipstick reminds me a lot of RMS Beauty’s Lip2Cheek in Rapture because it is a brick red but it is more red than brown. This has a nice dark and vampy fall trend sort of thing going on which is very pretty. The only thing that irks me about this lipstick along with every other Honeybee Gardens lipstick that I’ve owned is that they all break on me. The pigment of the lipsticks are awesome as well as the ingredients but they always snap on me. Does anyone else have this problem?
Where you can get it: iHerb, $9
Out of all of these lipsticks I have to say that I get more use out of ILIA Beauty’s Bang Bang so if you are new to the game of reds I would definitely start out with that one.
Do any of you have any favorite red lipsticks? Are there any from above that you have in your collection or have tried out? Let me know in the comment section!
