Our Editors’ Favorite Red Lipsticks From the Drugstore
June 01, 2021L'Oréal Infallible Pro-Matte Liquid Lipstick in Red Affair
This bright, true red lasts for up to 16 hours with a crack-proof, ultra matte finish. The pointed doe-foot applicator lets you easily carve out your lips without a liner, and it comes right off with an oil-based cleanser or makeup remover.
Maybelline Super Stay Ink Crayon Lipstick in Own Your Empire
There’s something so satisfying about scribbling on your lip color with a crayon — we love this rich red from Maybelline. A built-in sharpener lets you achieve crisp lines with every application, and the matte finish lasts for up to 16 hours.
NYX Professional Makeup Lip Lingerie XXL Long-Lasting Matte Liquid Lipstick in Stamina
Our editors love this liquid lipstick for its long-wearing yet surprisingly comfortable formula. This rich blue-based hue makes your teeth appear whiter, and it’s totally transfer-proof, even in humid weather.Physicians Formula Nourishing Lipstick in Goji Berry
This formula hydrates with shea butter, vitamin E and coconut and jojoba oils and coats your lips in a brick red shimmer. After the shine wears off, a tint of color remains.
Milani Color Fetish Shine Lipstick in Roleplay
This hot orangey-red shade glides on more like a moisturizing balm than a lipstick, thanks to a blend of oils, including jojoba, grapeseed and apricot kernel. The color is sheer but buildable, so you can apply a light coat on the go and not worry too much about precise application.
