Welcome back to the Pin-up Perfection Photography blog! Today we will be taking you through our top ten red lipstick products that we use in our studio to achieve that perfect pin-up pout for all your "oohs" and "ahhs"!
1. MAC Cosmetics - Ruby Woo Price: 19.00$
Number one on our top ten list is MAC Cosmetics Lipstick in Ruby Woo. This is our ultimate go to colour here at the Pin-up Perfection Photography studio. This colour is so true to that old Hollywood glamour lip colour that we all know and love and is a great way to achieve that coveted vintage pout. While this lipstick is not a long last lipstick the staying power is pretty decent and if you pair it with a lip pencil it will increase the longevity of your colour.2. Lime Crime - Wicked Price: 20.00 $
Number two on our list is from the Lime Crime Velvetine collection in the shade Wicked. This colour is so striking. Its a deep red colour with a blue undertone. The lasting power of this product is like no other. You can generally apply this once in the morning and not need to touch it up all day. Once suggestion we make with this particular product is to use a lip primer underneath to keep your lips from drying or cracking.
3. Jeffree Star Cosmetics - Unicorn Blood Price: 18.00$
Third on our list of top ten lip products is from the recently launched Jeffree Star Cosmetics. Truthfully any colour from this line is incredible. This is a long wear lip stain much similar to the Lime Crime staying power. The shade is similar to wicked but has more of a brown undertone to it making it slightly warmer. It is truly a beautiful product. Again, most long wear lip stains need a lip primer to avoid any cracking or drying out of your lips.
4. Make Up For Ever - Aqua Rouge - Lipstick in Red Price: 24.00$
Number four on our list is quickly becoming one of my personal favourites. Make Up For Ever products are always a go to of mine, and this long wear lip colour is out of this world. The colour is a fantastic vintage red and it goes on so smoothly. It is also moisturising which means it won't dry out your lips throughout the day. I do find that I need to reapply every so often, but if you are just wearing it for an evening it will last the whole night and will not transfer.
5. Rimmel London - Lasting Finish By Kate Moss #01 Price: 5.00$-10.00$
Are you a pin-up girl on a budget and looking to save a little money but still want that perfect red pout? Then look no further. Number five is The Lasting Finish by Kate Moss collection and it is so incredible. Even without a lip pencil this lipstick lasts forever! It is not a long wear but I can promise you this product does not budge! You will need to reapply throughout the day, but the pigmentation of this product is quite strong so even if you apply in the morning you will still have a red lip come evening. Because this is a drug store line the price is cheap cheap cheap. So if you are needing to cut costs I highly recommend you grab this product as soon as you can!
6. Besame Cosmetics - 1959 Red Hot Red Price: 22.00$
Number 6 is from the Besame Cosmetics collection. Where to start with Besame Cosmetics? First, the packaging is so glamorous and had a beautiful vintage look to it. This lipstick is such an incredible colour and is comparable to the colour that Marilyn Monroe wore. This lipstick is very moisturising and will not dry out your lips. I do find that I need to reapply more often but if you use a decent lip pencil it will extend its longevity.7. I Am Sin - Tempting Lipstick Price: 22.00$
Number seven on our list is from the I Am Sin Cosmetics. If you haven't tried the I Am Sin collection that was put out by model Masuimi Max you need to get out from under the rock you live in and try these products. Her lipsticks are so highly pigmented and for a cream lipstick it last forever. You will still need to reapply if you choose not to use a with a lip liner, but if you do you will notice that this lipstick lasts. It will also leave a lovely stain on your lips if you want something at little more tame or just to add some colour to your lip tone. Tempting is a lovely dark red shade, closer to a cherry red then a true red, and we just love it!
8. Chanel Cosmetics - Rouge Double Intensité 49 Ever Red Price: 36.00
Number 8 is a dream if you are prepared to spend a little bit of money. I have used Chanel lip glosses and lipsticks for a long time. Once a year I treat myself to one lipstick at the Chanel counter (Hey I am a diva on a dime) and this year I picked up this one. I applied one stroke of this last all day lipstick and it did just that. 10 hours after applying it was still perfect an intact on my lips.It also doesn't crack or chap your lips like some other tattoo lipsticks. The price is steep, but in my option it is totally worth it. I find that Chanel makes products that are high in pigmentation and have lasting power so you actually use less to get more out of the cost of the product.
9. Kat Von D - Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in Outlaw Price: 24.00$
Kat Von D's Everlasting Liquid Lipstick is number nine on our list and is a popular go to for several pin-up girls. The colour Outlaw is such a brilliant red and is so true to that vintage lip that we all desire. The lasting power of this stay all day lip colour is amazing. Put it on in the morning with no need to apply through out the day, you are good as gold until you got to bed. It is truly a fantastic product. The Kat Von D line is pretty incredible and the packaging is fantastic too. I found that this product didn't chap my lips or leave them feeling dry by the end of the day which is also a huge bonus.
10. LUSH Cosmetics - Lip Colour in Power or Decisive Price: 18.95$
Yes I am aware that I picked two colours here, I am sorry but I am just so in love with these two colours that I decided to lump them together and they fall in the 10 spot on our list. So lets start with Power; this is a warm bright red. Not completely true to a vintage red but still remarkably beautiful. Decisive is more true to that deep vintage red that we love that leaves you with a rich pout. Both colours look so amazing on, and they have a pretty great long last effect that we love so much. These products are 100% vegan, which is what LUSH prides itself on and an aspect that we love. My girl Elly Mayday gave me this lip stick a year ago and since then I am completely hooked on it. If you are looking for a long wear lip colour that wont break the bank this is your new go to. It also will not dry out your lips or irritate them in anyway.
So there you have it! In no particular order our top ten favourite red lipsticks to achieve that perfect vintage lip. We chose a pretty good selection of cream lipsticks as well as stay all days. We do tend to lean towards stay all day if you are planning to wear red lips all day we just feel that this is the best way to get your monies worth out of the product.
