Your Favorite Red Lipstick: NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Cruella

It was a close race at first, but then, a clear winner pulled way ahead as your favorite red lipstick. NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Cruella is the rouge that rose above the rest.

No matter what the votes end up saying: it’s Cruella. This is not a real contest because Cruella is the Truth. - ElephantShoe2

The NARS lip crayon is my jam! Absolutely love the color and the staying power as well - I can apply in the morning and it lasts all day. My absolute fave by far. - JubiTheGreat

Cruella for the win! - SaltyHest

This is my HG red matte lipstick too. I luuuurve it! I wore it last night through a multi course French meal and, with a little care and 1 small touch up, it lasted the entire evening. - AntisocialJusticeWarrior is not Anti-SJW

The all-time classic MAC Ruby Woo came in second, but a not-so-close 150 votes behind. Still, it’s not iconic for nothin’.
