## Posh Lipstick In Play 



#### £37 | Victoria Beckham Beauty 



 

**Rated By:** [Ruby Hammer MBE](https://www.instagram.com/rubyhammer/?hl=en), Make-Up Artist &amp; Brand Founder  
  
"I love this deep plum shade that is a nice alternative to traditional red. It’s creamy and rich in tone, but incredibly versatile too – you can apply a single sheer layer or keep layering it up for something more intense."

**Rated By:** [Celia Burton](https://www.instagram.com/celiaburtonmakeup/?hl=en), Make-Up Artist

#### £36 | YVES SAINT LAURENT 



 

**Rated By:** [Jessica Kell](https://www.instagram.com/jessicakmakeup/?hl=en), Make-Up Artist  
  
"For a bit of glamour, I always reach for this lipstick from YSL. It delivers amazing coverage with just a single swipe. I love the soft-focus finish that gives lips that blurred effect –. The shape of the lipstick means you can draw on a perfect cupid’s bow too, even after a drink or two."

## Hyper Matte Monochrome Refillable Lipstick In Fuoco 



#### £39 | Prada 



 

**Rated By:** [Sophie Tilley](https://www.instagram.com/sophietilley.uk/), Make-Up Artist

“The perfect red should be rich in pigment, comfortable to wear, long lasting and matte. Prada has ticked all of these boxes with its ‘Fuoco’ lipstick shade, which draws inspiration from the brand’s glamorous saffiano leather. With an impossibly chic casing and embossed bullet complete with the Prada logo, it hugs the curves of your lips so well.”

#### £40 | Chanel 



 

**Rated By:** [Zoë Taylor](https://www.instagram.com/zoetaylormakeup/?hl=en), Make-Up Artist &amp; SL Beauty Contributor  
  
"My favourite red has to be this one by Chanel. It’s the most beautiful colour and texture, and one of those reds that suits everyone. It really lifts a dull, lifeless complexion at this time of year."

#### £32 | Givenchy 



 

**Rated By:** [Cat Parnell](https://www.instagram.com/catparnell/?hl=en), Make-Up Artist &amp; Hair Stylist  
  
“This neutral red suits absolutely everyone. The texture has a luminous semi-matte finish that is so comfortable to wear and it doesn’t budge. It has hyaluronic acid in there too, so your lips feel hydrated while you’re wearing it.”

#### £27 | Lisa Eldridge 



 

**Rated By:** [Lisa Potter-Dixon](https://www.instagram.com/lisapotterdixon/?hl=en), Make-Up Artist &amp; Beauty Author  
  
"There isn’t a single box this lipstick doesn’t tick. The texture is so smooth and the satin finish is unbeatable. As for the colour, it’s bright but still wearable – ideal for both day and night. It’s probably my favourite red of all time."

#### £24 | Fenty Beauty 



 

**Rated By:** [Levi-Jade Taylor](https://www.instagram.com/levijademakeup/?hl=en-gb), Make-Up Artist  
  
"If you want a really precise and well-defined red lip, you can’t go wrong with this liquid lipstick from Fenty. It’s so easy to use and while the colour is vibrant, it’s still flattering. It’s long-wear too, so you’ll find it doesn’t budge all night."
