The Team’s All-Time Favourite Red Lipsticks

"I'm not the biggest red lipstick wearer but when I do, it's always this one. It's more of a gloss finish, so it looks ultra plumping and hydrating. Such an easy one for touch-ups on the go and it doesn't leak or smudge either."

“I’m not a big fan of traditional lipstick but I am a lip balm addict, and this Sisley formula is a rare example of something I’ve used to the last drop. This new shade – a warm tomato-y red – adds a light wash of colour that nods to a red lip-look without the commitment.”

“If you're looking for a red that somehow feels both statement and everyday, this is it. The bullet is super slim, so you can apply it with precision and build the intensity without that panicky ‘one wrong move’ feeling. The brick red flatters a huge range of skin tones and works just as well with minimal make-up as it does with a full look. Bonus points for the chic packaging that's also refillable.”

“As someone who is rarely seen without a brown-toned lip combo, I've figured out the formula for amping it up for an evening event, pairing my trusted coffee-toned lip liner with the Violette_FR Plume Lip in ‘En Feu’ to spice things up. Diffuse the liner out with a brush and then blur the warm fiery red gel-cream formula with a fingertip and – voila – a picante twist on a classic.”

"I’m not naturally a red lipstick wearer – the upkeep can feel like a full-time job – but I’ve always loved how a true red can light up the face. This formula finally won me over and it’s my go-to whenever I want that classic beauty moment. The shade is a perfect neutral – a blue-toned red that somehow manages to be both statement-making and universally flattering, with rich colour pay-off and a velvet-matte finish."
