Soooo truth be told, when I started wearing lipstick, I never gravitated toward red. I was more a pink, purple, nude, and gloss type of girl. But as I have gotten older, red lipstick has been my go to. I have red Marley twists installed in my hair right now and have been rocking red lipstick non-stop. Today I share 6 different shades in my collection, because believe it or not, every red lipstick is not the same.
I used a bare minimum makeup look, to show how the red really appears on my skin tone. There was also no lipliner used so the actual color pay-off will be shown of each shade.

Fenty Beauty “Uncensored”
Fenty Beauty “Uncensored”I love this red lippie from Rihanna’s Fenty beauty line, however, it bleeds a lot. You will have to constantly reapply and touch up throughout the day.
The Lip Bar Matte Lipstick ” Haute Mess”
The Lip Bar Matte Lipstick ” Haute Mess”And last but not least, this is more of pink-red by The Lip Bar. I love the vibrancy and longwear of this one.
