Our 9 Best Red Lipsticks

IN MATTE & SATIN FINISHES 

Red lipstick: it’s the original lipstick shade, and it’s totally iconic. Dressed up or down, red lipstick is bold and sexy and always looks fabulous. And whether it’s a bright red, dark red, or cherry red lipstick, wear it, and you can skip all other makeup. Clean and matte or high-shine and glam, you can’t go wrong with red lips. And the color options? Fiery orange-red lipstick. Classic blue-red lipstick. Ever-so-slightly-pink red lipstick. Each subtle red lipstick shade variation brings a different personality to the look. Which red lipstick makeup look fits yours? Discover your best red lipstick with Maybelline, New York’s best drugstore red lipstick collection.

Try a classic satin finish: Mattes and glosses might be alluring, but nothing beats a creamy, satin-looking red lip. It's a low-maintenance texture to wear, as it will both cling to lips and moisturize them throughout the day. Try Color Sensational Made for All Lipstick.

Going to a party? Opt for long wear lipstick. Superstay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick inks your lips with up to 16 hours of rich, saturated color—no touch ups required—and comes in a ton of red shades.

Don't forget lip liner: Lip liner is the key to crisp, clean lips and extra-long staying power. Plus, it keeps color from bleeding.
