The red lip.
The stuff that (most of our) dreams are made of.
For a chosen few, the red lip defines who we are, almost as much as our name. “THIS IS A VERY CONFIDENT/RADIANT/SELF-ASSURED ME YOU’RE TALKING TO.” And for others, lip color can be a bit daunting — and rightfully so, both in application and choice of color/tone.
But know this. There is no perfect way to wear a red lip, no tried-and-true application ritual that every single lipstick fan abides by. The classic red lip is simply ours for the making, and taking. An accent like no other.
So regardless of what camp you find yourself in, find out what five FP friends recently had to say what brand/shade is their favorite, and why:

Favorite Shade: NCLA, Venice Vacation.
Your “staple” red. It goes on bold bright, and requires a little touch-up, but it’s perfect for that classic red lip look. I did a lip scrub before applying so it would go on super smooth! Wear with: anything black. 😉

Favorite Shade: Kosas, Electra.
This is for sure going in my favorite red lipstick collection! The product is so pigmented and gives an amazing color payoff. It lasted all day and was super moisturizing, which is a win with the upcoming cold months. One recommendation — use a lipliner before putting this lipstick on just to give it a clean look. So excited to use this to amp up all my fall outfits!!

Favorite Shade: rms Beauty, Crimson Lane.
I’m hooked on rms Beauty’s Tinted Daily Lip Balm in Crimson Lane. I love how easily it’s applied -- adds just the right amount of color, and hydrates my lips. This is the perfect, yet subtle, red lip to elevate my everyday look.

Favorite shade: Ere Perez, Hello.
This Ere Perez Cocoa Lip Color is definitely a staple in my makeup bag now! It’s soft and sheer upon applying – and perfect for when I want a subtle red tint and moisture on my lips. I love that the color can be built up from light to medium, which makes it an essential -- from work to happy hour. It pairs perfectly with a “no-makeup” makeup look.

Favorite Shade: NCLA, Calabasas Queen.
Definitely a fan of this lipstick! Not only is it the perfect red shade for my skin tone, but glides on very easily. I love pairing a bold red lip with dainty gold hoops!
