The best red lipsticks you need this festive season

The festive season is here, and everyone is hurrying to secure their makeup products and create unique looks, with red lipstick being the standout item.

Red lipstick is often known to make a very bold statement when it comes to your ordinary makeup looks, as it enhances your beat from 0-100.

According to fashion and beauty hub, Allure, during the festive season, we see nothing but bright colours from your greens, whites and reds. A red lip will never let you down, adding that, you can match your shiny accessories with this colour lipstick.

Next time you go shopping for your beauty essentials buy these red lipsticks:

    1. Mac Cosmetics Macximal Silky Matte Lipstick: Instyle asserts that this lipstick is the creamiest and does not dry out. Senior beauty commerce editor Kaitlin Clark finds it chalky and difficult to use, resulting in a strange lip spasm-like appearance. The lipstick’s confidence and glamour appeal are both commended.
    2. Bobbi Brown Luxe Lipstick: The best lipstick shade suitable for all skin tones according to the above-mentioned source.
    3. Maybelline SuperStay Ink Crayon Lipstick: This budget-friendly product has a creamy, smooth matte finish that makes it simple to draw borders and fill them in with a fine-tip crayon and sharpener for ease.

4. NARS Powermatte Lip Pigment: Beauty and wellness editor, Taylore Glynn states that the blue undertone in the lipstick brings out more emphasis on features on your face, adding that, this product is recommended because it doesn’t flake up on your lips which later leaves them dry.
