Lipstick is a classic statement making accessory that has been around for centuries… Cleopatra was known for crushing beetles and ants to get the right shade of red.
We’ve come a long way since crushing insects and applying them as lip color (thankfully!) and celebs and various makeup companies have come up with shades that are sticking around for even more centuries to come.
Love the color but are you nervous about actually wearing it? Baby steps, my friend.
Begin with a sheer gloss in a red, it has the same tint of color but the sheerness makes it less dramatic.
From there on keep the rest of your face sans makeup and slowly play around with different eye shadows and bronzers, until you feel comfortable rocking a full face of makeup and ruby red lips.
My go to red? I always reach for the Russian Red. It’s been around since the 80’s and seriously looks great on all skin tones and all ages.
Ruby Woo is also a very popular, if not the most popular shade from the company.
I usually apply Kat Von D’s everlasting liquid lipstick on top of my lipstick for extra coverage and extended usage.
It goes on wet like a gloss but dries matte within minutes and stays on for hours.
Want more options, including lipsticks at drug store prices?
I’ve come up with top fav lipsticks ranging in prices and included photos of celebs that rock the red lip as a staple in their life.
