5 Classic Red Lipstick Colors
I love makeup and rarely leave the house without it on, but I do consider myself a minimalist when it comes to makeup. It takes me less than 10 minutes to put it on in the morning, and I have my basic routine of foundation, mascara, a little blush, eye liner, and red lipstick. Red lipstick is an easy, classy approach to boost a basic look. Classic red lipstick has the capability to transform any look, and honestly, I haven’t found a red lip color I didn’t like. There is just something about applying a slick of sexy red lipstick to my lips that makes me want to channel my inner TubeV Sex star. Can you relate? But through trials and lots of red lipstick, I have found 5 classic red lipstick colors that I love and have on rotation in my purse. Depending on what I am wearing and my mood of the day, as well as how sexy I want to look, I’ll wear a lighter shade of red or a darker shade, or matte or high gloss.

If you don’t have a favorite signature red lipstick, check out my favorite 5 Classic Red Lipstick Colors and then let me know which ones are your favorite! Of course color is a matter of personal preference and what looks great on your skin tone. Price is also another factor, but I have found that quality and good lip color are hard to find at the grocery store, although I have one favorite L’oreal red lipstick lip color. If you are hesitant, spend some time at Sephora trying on these lip colors or other red lipsticks. You will eventually find your favorite classic red lipstick color that you’ll want to wear everyday. Also, consider lip pencils and stains for longer lasting.
