Top 5...Red Lips

 

Red lips is such a classic look, pretty much anyone can get away with wearing a red lip no matter what their complexion is. I love teaming red lips with simple eye make up, winged eye liner, and a little bit of contouring. Its a look I've really been loving recently so I thought I would show you my top 5 red lip products.

 

Rimmel Apocalips in Big Bang

This is one of Rimmel's latest additions to their Apocalips range. If you haven't tried the Apocalips range, have a look at my review here but they are basically well pigmented lip lacquer with a doe foot applicator. This shade is a typical post box red, very bold and bright. This has to be in my top 5 purely for how long the product lasts once on the lips. Whereas the gloss might fade, the product stains the lips so the red colour still stands out.

 

Revlon Colourburst Lip Butter in Candy Apple

I absolutely love the lip butters from Revlon, they're incredibly moisturising like a balm but are just as well pigmented as a lipstick. This product is the one I reach for if I want to rock a red lip during the day as it is slightly more orange toned than any others so is a bit brighter and more wearable for a daytime look. I love this because of its moisturising qualities, it has a lovely creamy consistency to it and, obviously, doesn't leave a drying effect on the lips.

 

Bourjois Colour Boost in Red Sunrise

These beauties were released last summer and I love them. I also have the shades Orange Punch and Plum Russian which are fabulous shades. Red Sunrise is a much more pink toned red so sometimes I'll pair this with a smoky eye which looks quite nice. My only issue with this is that the shade doesn't last very long on the lips so I am constantly topping it up, which can be annoying on a night out. However it is still one of my favourite red lip products, and I especially love it during the summer months as it is a bit brighter than others in my collection.

 

Rimmel Lasting Finish By Kate in 107

This has to be one of the most coveted products in the beauty blogging world. Practically every blogger and their dog has tried and tested this lipstick, and I can absolutely see why. This is the darkest shade in my top 5 however I think it is beautiful. It has a matte finish too which, again, is the only one in this collection. This lipstick has created the perfect 'going out' look during the colder months as, although it is slightly blue toned, I think it has a lovely warming feel to it.

 

NYX Xtreme Lip Cream in Spicy

I have only had this a few weeks but it is, by far, my absolute favourite lip product I own. I seriously cannot fault this. It is highly pigmented, long lasting and moisturising on the lips. It has a slight matte finish to it but slightly glossy due to it being a cream based lipstick. If I want a lip product that will still look just as bright and in place as when I first put it on, this is the product I reach for.

 

So there we have my top 5 red lip products. I think you cannot beat a red lip, its classic and so easy to wear when its teamed with the right make up.

Does anybody else use and love these products?
