The Best Red Lipstick for Your ‘Red’ Era (Taylor’s Version)

2022-08-13 00:32:36 By : Ms. Laura Song

Now that we’re on the tail end of the I-woke-up-like-this beauty trend, the classic red lip is poised to make a huge comeback. But considering how quickly it can upgrade your look, it’s a wonder it went anywhere to begin with. Still, not all the best red lipsticks are created equal: Some are too chalky, or too dry, or worse — can’t make it through breakfast without smudging off. One thing to keep in mind: your undertones. Warm tones look great with an orange-red lipstick, and a bright cherry red will complement cooler tones, but if you find one that breaks the rule, you do you.

Ever since the rerelease of Taylor Swift‘s Red album, folks on TikTok have been having their red lip moment. From matte to glossy and blue-red to wine shades, there’s a color and formula for every age and skin tone. There’s the perfect red lipstick at every price point, too. We found stellar options that cost less than a coffee, as well as luxe ones that are worth saving up for. So, pop on the 10-minute All Too Well and get ready for this season to become your own Red era.
