‘Tis the season for red lipstick (but every day is a good day to wear a red lipstick, in my opinion!), but here are my five current favorites for glossier, warm-toned reds. Stay tuned for the cool-toned edition tomorrow, plus next weekend’s cool and warm-toned editions for more matte reds 🙂
Christine, these are absolutely gorgeous. Now I want to rush out and buy ever single one (though I might limit myself to the Estee Lauder one or the Bobbi Brown).
It is hard to resist a good red, isn’t it? There’s just something about red lipstick that always makes me smile!
Bobbi Brown Red Velvet is stunning!
It is!
I prefer cool reds, but Estee Lauder Envious is currently my most lusted-after red. Red Strauss is super pretty too.
Envious is such a pretty shade!
How did you know I was just shopping the Sephora sale for a new warm red?! Thanks for posting this- just added the Bobbi Brown to my cart along with NARS Jeanne!
LOL! 🙂 Great minds think alike!
Red Strasse is so pretty! I can’t pull off the bolder reds, but this one is a little muted. My go to is Lipstick Queen Medieval, but I’m gonna try this one.
Christine, thanks for all of your hard work. Your site is always a pleasure to visit. Every day. XOXO
I will have to check out Medieval! Thank you for the rec 🙂
I like how sheer Medieval is! I use that stuff like lip balm, almost. Redder but not RED, happy lips!
I know, right? And i like how it can be layered if I want a more intense color.
Medieval is amazing, agreed!
Red lipstick can be so classy and it can completely change your look. I love the Guerlain Rouge G’s in Rouge Parade and Garçonne. Those are my go to reds. I don’t tend to go for warm-toned reds. 🙂
However I also lovely the extremely shimmery/almost metallic Estée Lauder Pure Color Vivid Shine lipstick in Poppy Love. I can’t help myself when it comes to shimmer or glitter! It’s just gorgeous.
Other favourites include:
YSL Gloss Volupté in 207 Rouge Velours.
Urban Decay Revolution High-Color Lipgloss in Assassin.
Givenchy Le Rouge in Carmin Escarpin and Grenat Initie (although it’s already on your list).
Too Faced Melted Liquified Long-wear Lipstick in Melted Strawberry.
ColourPop Lippie Stix in Ellarie.
I could go on but that’s enough for now I think!
Rouge Parade is another good one! 🙂 I actually tend to reach for cooler-toned reds myself, even though I like warm-toned reds!
If my mom saw this she’s go crazy, she’s aaaall about red lips 🙂 Me, not so much, but when I do wear red it’s always a warm red.
Haha!
Now we know I am not immune to throwing on a red lip any time of the year, so of course I’m seeing some beauties here! The BB Red Velvet is one, and the Guerlain Red Strass is another. I love the golden shimmer in Red Strass because it’s not something one sees every day!
I’m always surprised by the lack of shimmery reds!
me too, Christine!! Shimmery reds are the BEST and they’re so few and far between!!! What up with that. I was reeeeally hoping the new LE KVD lipstick Gold Blooded would be really shimmery, so that was a big disappointment.
Same here, Bonnie! They don’t even put out that many during the holidays 🙁
I agree completely. One would think there would be sparkly reds out at the holidays, but I rarely seen them even then. 🙁
I need more red lipsticks like I need a hole in the head, but these are so lovely. I have Red Strass and totally agree that it belongs on this list. Thanks for reminding me about Gilda, which I’ve somehow resisted to this point…
Haha! I hear you, Kate. But it’s hard to resist a good red.
These are absolutely stunning, especially the Givenchy and Bobbi Brown ones. Nothing beats a good red lipstick.
Agreed 😀
All of these colors make me feel funny feelings inside. <_<
How do I not own Red Strass yet? I love the Kiss Kiss formula. I love berries and neutrals also, but warmer (non-neon) reds are my faaaavorites. 🙂
You must try Red Strass!
These are really beautiful red lipsticks. I think that everyone could find something here that they would love.
They are lovely!
Can’t wait to see the cool toned and neutral editions!
🙂
Can’t wait for the blue based reds, they’re my FAVE. Do you have any less-expensive favorite warm reds that *almost* made the cut?
Revlon Provocateur, Maybelline Neon Red (decided it was too orange)
These are absolutely glorious and spot on for the holiday season. But I echo Kate: I need another red like I need more poundage. I don’t care if it’s a brown red, an orange red, a blue red, or a pinky red. I am there. I know I have dupes, but I would love to get all of these. I think my fave is the Grenat. I’m always surprised that one does not see much red out & about. I think mainly people think of reds as they would the sterling flatware or fine china. Save it for special. And I think it’s a shame. Use ’em. You can’t take it with you. Long live red.
I could always use another ruby red, though….
Colors are pretty but think the blue based reds are better on me.
Sunday’s edition is for you! 🙂
I generally go wiht cool red, but these are all beautiful. So many lovely lipsticks!
I like cooler reds more, too!
