#4 DIOR OUGE Dior No. 999 Lipstick

It’s rumored that the original No. 9 lipstick made its debut at the very first Christian Dior runway show. Revived with a new formula (and two extra digits) the Dior Rouge No. 999 lipstick continues to work while you wear it. Sea Fennel extract stimulates cellular renewal, and hyaluronic acid instantly plumps and moisturizes. The smooth texture leaves a radiant satin finish.

Thanks to its tiny flecks of mica, this red shade shines bright like a diamond on your lips.

#6 NARS Semi Matte Jungle Red Lipstick

No one does a red lip quite like NARS. This semi-matte formula features a patented blend of conditioners and antioxidants that nourish and hydrate. Inspired by the 1950s silver screen, the classic Jungle Red shade partners well with pale lids and a cat-eye

#7 GIORGIO ARMANI LIP Maestro In The Red

This newcomer doesn’t come in bullet form, however it’s stick-like stature houses an opaque stain that dries into a velvety lipstick-like finish. In our opinion, it’s kind of amazing.

#8 MAYBELLINE COLORSENSATIONAL LIP COLOR IN Red Revival

This lipstick leaves behind a finish that’s as shiny as red-hot patent leather pumps.

#9 ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS Liquid Lipstick in Sarafine

While Anastasia Beverly Hills is still holding down the thrown as Queen of Brows, the royal arch is making quite the name for herself among bold lip lovers. Sarafine is an almost crimson-like, deep red with blue undertones that can be worn as a statement color at the office, or used as a seductively alluring shade for a night out with your beau.

#10 NARS VELVET MATTE Lip pencil In The Red Dragon

Who wouldn’t want to color their lips with this vibrant red crayon-like lip pencil? This tried and true stick has earned street cred over the years because it goes on creamy but dries matte (so it won’t bleed into your lip lines), it’s highly pigmented, and it hydrates your mouth with vitamin E.

#11 YSL Rouge Pur Couture No. 1 Le Rouge Lipstick

Born from the idea of dressing women’s lips in couture colors, Yves Saint Laurent introduced the Rouge Pur Couture collection in 1978. Hydrating and enriched with antioxidants, the No. 1 Le Rouge color is universally flattering, with cool blue undertones and bold, creamy coverage.

#12 Bite Beauty Amuse Bouche Lipstick in Sour Cherry

Bite’s red is bittersweet. Swipe on for a brooding, almost gothic but not-quite-that-extreme of a shade that looks as sweet as your favorite nonalcoholic’s garnish. It’ll be your outfit’s cherry on top.

#13 NYC CITY DUET 2-IN-1 LIPCOLOR In The Red Hots

Okay, how versatile is this bullet?! One side is a deep red, but when you want to switch it up for a lighter look, just flip it around and swipe the lighter pink side over your pout.

#14 TARTE COSMETICS GLAMAZON  12-HOUR Lipstick in Fierce

Sometimes red lipstick can be drying, but this one is so rich with mango, avocado, and shea butter that your pout will never be parched.

#15 Estée Lauder Pure Color Long-Lasting Lipstick in Scarlet Siren

Formulated with the brand’s exclusive True Vision technology for elegant color that’s long-wearing and rich with dimension, Estée’s red is the ideal formula. Smooth to apply, and strong enough so that it doesn’t feather or smudge, you’ll maybe need to swipe on one additional coat throughout the day.

#16 Charlotte Tilbury Hot Lips in Carina’s Love

Inspired by the actress Carina Lau, Tilbury describes this new hue as a “highly pigmented shade that symbolizes good fortune and joy in Chinese Culture.” It’s a feel-good color you’ll love to wear and others will love to see you in!

#17 MAKE UP FOR EVER Artist Rouge Lipstick in C407 Black Red

Maybe instead of “bombshell,” you’re feeling the “brooding babe” aesthetic. It happens. MAKE UP FOR EVER’s black red lipstick is the moody shade to rock on days you’re uninterested in the world, but still interested in the beauty side of it
