8 Merry & Bright Red Lipsticks To Buy

It may be Christmas Eve but in case your holiday ensemble is missing a festive element, there’s still time to get out there and complete it with a red lip. While a red lip is on trend and in style all throughout the year, there’s something about it that just screams the holidays. What I love about a red lip is that there are so many shades available that will work with your skin tone and your outfit. If you thought that red lipstick wasn’t for you — think again!

Here are 8 festive red lipsticks to buy!

Lisa Eldridge Makeup True Velvet Lipstick Colour in Velvet Ribbon

If you’re looking for a red lipstick that’s the most merry and bright as possible, then it’s a blue red that you want. Lisa Eldridge’s Velvet Ribbon lipstick is a great option because it’s so saturated and pigmented, but it goes on as smooth as velvet. Plus it’s cruelty-free, too!

Yves Saint Laurent Tatouage Couture Liquid Matte Lip Stain in Red Tribe

While this baby has a steep price tag, just wait until you try it. Once applied, the formula dries down and is pretty much locked in until you want it off. What I love about this YSL liquid lipstick is the applicator that allows for a precise and perfect red lip without any bleeding or need for lipliner.
