Editor’s Picks: 10 Kiss-Proof Long-Wear Red Lipsticks

No lipstick quite says “Kiss me” like a statement red lipstick. Red lips were a constant for women before the dawn of pinks, and now nudes. (Thanks Cargo and Monica Lewensky)

CeleBeauties from Rihanna wearing her now iconic  FENTY BEAUTY by Rihanna Stunna Lip Paint Longwear Fluid Lip Color in Uncensored to the many shades of red that Beyoncé rocks, there is no denying that a red lipstick is a way to make a killer entrance and exit.

For a special occasion, consider a red lipstick that lingers on your lips, not on your wine glass or his shirt. Liquid lipsticks, matte and demi matte formulas all fill the bill for long wearing lipstick.

TIP: If you don’t particularly care for the feel of a matte lipstick, try dabbing on some lip balm, blotting with tissue and then apply your red lip. This step will insure that your matte lipstick isn’t quite so drying on your lips.

We are red lipstick aficionados and have picked a few that will keep your lips kissable all night on your special night. From budget red lipsticks to luxury red lipsticks, red lipstick pencils and liquid red lipsticks are all in our top 10 list.
