The weeks are going quickly and Christmas is literally around the corner and even though I'm not actually doing Blogmas most of my posts have so far been Christmas related! In this post, I will be showing you all of my favourite red lipsticks perfect for this time of year.

1. Rimmel London Kate Lasting Finish Lipstick - 01

This shade of lipstick isn't something that I would usually wear and only really gets brought out during December. Looking at the swatch the colour does look slightly scary but once its applied to the lips and you wear the right colour with it, it actually looks really lovely and compliments my skin tone. This colour I would describe as London bus red as it is pretty bright. This lipstick I would usually wear more of an evening because of it being more of a bolder shade and I think this shade would be perfect for a Christmas party or even New Years. 


2. Rimmel London Kate Matte Lipstick - 107


As you can see I love the Rimmel Kate Lipsticks as I also recently featured in another Christmas post, My Easy Christmas Day Makeup Look. This lipstick is probably one of my favourite red lipsticks that I own because it has a more blue undertone which I think suits my skin tone more. The red colour of this lipstick is slightly darker than the others which I really like and I think would suit most skin tones. This is the only matte lipstick on my list but I would say its more of an in-between product because it isn't completely matte and it doesn't dry out my lips which is very important in this cold weather!

3. Rimmel London Lasting Finish Lipstick - 170

I think I have a thing for Rimmel lipsticks as I've just only realised which writing this post. This lipstick from the swatch looks nearly identical to the first one and in the colour it nearly is but the formula is pretty different. This lipstick feels a lot more like a lip gloss if that makes sense, it comes out with a lot more of a shine and looks quite luxurious for it only being £. This lipstick is something that I would probably wear to an event because of how shiny it makes my lips without having the tacky feeling of a lip gloss. 


4. MAC Lipstick - Brick- O- La

Now we have finally moved on from the Rimmel Lipsticks and on to my higher end shades. This lipstick isn't technically a red but its pretty close and I prefer to wear shades like this on an everyday basis. I seem to just gravitate towards this colour during the Christmas period as it isn't quite a pink or brown or red shade but works really well as an in-between red and neutral shade. This colour I find you can wear with any outfit and it will go with everything. You can also really dress it down for an everyday look or add a darker red lip liner and you can dress it up for a more evening and party look.

5. Bobbi Brown Crushed Lip Colour - Ruby

I've mentioned this lipstick a few times on my blog because of how much I enjoy using especially this time of year as I like to wear a lot more red (who doesn't!). This lipstick is very different to all the others on this list because it is much more like a lip balm than a full coverage lipstick. For an everyday wintery and Christmasy makeup look, this is my go-to product, one because of the colour and two because it is really moisturising and leaves the lips looking and feeling really smooth.

Christmas has got to be one of my favourite times of year and I love that we get to dress up a bit more and wear red lipstick! What's your favourite red lipstick?

  1. These are lovely colours! I don't usually wear lipstick, it's something that I've always wanted to get in to, but never really have. I haven't really the found the colour that I think suits me really well I guess! I do love the colour of the MAC lipstick in the shade, Brick- O- La. Probably my favourite from your list, it's gorgeous!

  2. I haven't tried any of these but my go-to red lipstick is Revlon's Cherry Blossom 028. It's a perfect blue-red, neither too dark nor too light. Creamy but slightly matt too with good staying power. It has the ability to make me look alive on bad days. Never underestimate the power of a red lipstick! Gorgeous photos, Aaliyah, thank you for your recommendations! X

  3. I live in red lipstick and I haven't tried any of these! I love the look of the first Rimmel Kate 01, such a beautiful bold red. I have so many reds, it's really hard to choose a favourite. Liquid lip, it's probably Sephora Collection 01 but from a bullet, I think it's the Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet in 38 x

  7. I feel like a slight failure as I've never tried any of these!! I've heard such good things about the Rimmel 107 I know SO many people who have it as a holy grail! I've only recently tried a Bobbi Brown lipstick and I love their formulas, my favourite red is probably The Body Shops Colour Crush in 120! It's a bright but slightly deep red, gorgeous!
