LBS Beauty: The Perfect Red Lip



I never used to be a "bright lipstick" kind of girl. I was the friend with JUST mascara and lipgloss in her beauty arsenal. But over time, I've grown to appreciate and embrace a statement lip. I can throw on the simplest outfit and a bright red lip will pull it all together. Since starting this blog, I think that's one of the biggest beauty requests I've gotten. "What red lip shades do you use? Which should I try?" This one's for you! LoveBrownSugar Top 5 favorite red lip shades:


1. Matte Finish: MAC Ruby Woo, $15

This is hands-down my favorite red lip of all time. I used to be a non-believer. Until I tried it! Not only does it give a vibrant red color, it's matte so it stays put for long periods of time. Warning  - it can be drying! I would prep lips with moisturizer before applying it.

2. Pinky-Red: TIGI Decadent Lipstick in Luxury, $19

When I want a red that has a hint of a pink punch behind it, I go for this shade. It goes on smooth and creamy. Really perfect for summer BBQ's and daytime looks.

3. Budget-Friendly: Covergirl Lip Perfection in Hot, $6.99

Wearing Covergirl Lip Perfection in Hot
This is my day to day favorite! Why? Because I can restock with no guilt. It offers vibrance and it's a great red for a number of different skin shades. It's also moisturizing. It does smudge though, so plan to reapply throughout the day.

4. Sheer Finish: LiSi Cosmetics Cream Color Lipstick in Matinee, $6.90

When I want an orangey-bown undertone to my red lip, I spring for LiSi's lipstick in this dewy orange-red called Matinee. Also a budget-friendly pick, it offers just a sheer amount of color but just enough to make an impact.

5. Splurge: Rouge Dior Lipcolor in Warm Red, $32

Feeling special? Just-got-paid-Friday-night? Spring for this luxurious lip shade when you have a few extra coins to spare. It's offers runway-ready color payoff. Save this one for special occasions

  2. I just purchased the Ruby Woo...but I haven't tried it on yet. i have always stayed away from red colors and stick with nudes or neutrals. So, I am interested to see how it turns out.

  4. That first colour looks immense on you. My favourite is Ruby Red from Collection 2000. Very bright, which I love but it does dry my lips out.

  5. Make Up Forever- Rouge Artist Intense is my favorite red lip although I don't wear it very often. It's so bright, but I love it for occasions. I actually really like the Cover Girl shade you chose too, so I think I'll check that out!
