Which brand has the best red lipstick?
MAC has made something of a trademark of red lipstick. It has reds of all undertones and finishes, from sheer washes to intense deep red. A red lipstick that maintains its iconic status for decades is surely a lipstick worth investing in, and MAC has several: In 1990, Madonna’s wore Russian Red on her Blonde Ambition tour. The only red lipstick that would last through an entire concert performance, it been on the lips of discerning red lipstick lovers ever since.
In 1994 Viva Glam I, a deep wine-red, was first introduced with an iconic ad campaign featuring RuPaul. For over 25 years all proceeds from Viva Glam lipsticks (many of them red) have funded MAC Charitable projects around the world.
Ruby Woo was launched in 1999 as part of the Retro Matte collection. A brighter, even more matte sister of Russian Red, seven tubes of Ruby Woo are sold every minute. In recent years the liquid-to-matte lipstick has become a relied-upon staple in every makeup lover’s collection.
The MAC Retro Matte Liquid Lipcolour in the shade Feels So Grand is one such lipstick that certainly lives up to its name. This bold, opaque red applies like a gloss with a high shine, before setting into a velvet matte finish within a few minutes. You’ll need to take this one off at the end of the night! To make sure your drop dead red stays comfortable all day (and night) prep the lips before application with some Prep + Prime Lip to add light moisture, refine the lips and improve the appearance of applied lip products.
