MAC Lipstick in Ruby Woo
All hail Ruby Woo by MAC. Its the best blue-red out there and has been for years.- JustNikki
YES! I love this. In addition to being a lovely color, it really has staying power. It won’t feather and is difficult to smear. I never get it in my teeth. Just a wonderful product all around. - Mamangabriel
That was going to be my vote as well. Such a classic! - Ms.WorkingMomma
NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Cruella
Nars Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Cruella. Stays on forever and feels great. - stacyinbean
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
I love these pencils; the tip is narrow enough that I don’t need a separate liner, but I can still get nice coverage because they’re creamy and really pigmented. This red is my favorite. - Scarletwine
Bésame Cosmetics Classic Color Lipsticks in Victory Red
Besame Cosmetics Victory Red...It’s matte and SUPER long-lasting. I’ve eaten and drunk and thought “oh God my lipstick!” But I go check it out and minimal touch ups required.- LizTaylorsEarrings
Yessss, I love Bésame. Great texture and staying power and lovely shades- I own six of them. - MarieH06
NYX Cosmetics Liquid Suede Cream Lipstick in Cherry Skies
Yeah Ruby Woo is great but I’m going to go with my budget option which is only 7 dollars and still slays. NYX Liquid Suede in Cherry Skies it gets extra points for me because it works with darker skin tones really well - DorthyDandridgeEyes
I’m as pale as all get out and I love this one too. It’s really so very flattering! It also lasts for freakin’ ever. -
