I love red lipstick, it is instant glamour! If you’re in a hurry with no time for shadow, blush etc, grab some red and you are on your way. It has been trial and error to find a true red without any pink tones. I have been in and out of Sephora, drugstores, department stores with my hand striped in various red shades and here are my all time favorites...
Best Red- (on right) Smashbox Photo Finish Lipstick in Legendary $22
Best Drugstore Red- (on left) Maybelline Moisture Extreme Lipstick in Royal Red around $7
These 2 colors are so similar; the difference lies in the quality. Smashbox is less drying and doesn’t bleed. Occasionally Maybelline does bleed a bit and is a touch less creamy but the colors are almost identical.
