Yes, I am super obsessed with the color red, whether in cars, clothes, shoes, nail colors, or lipsticks. I am excited to share my favorite five Red Matte Lip Colours, which are now available online in India.
Here I am going to share everything you need to know about them!
Maybelline New York Color Sensational Lip Gradation Red 2

This Lip Gradation is my personal favorite! Easy to carry, moderately lasting, it doesn’t melt like other lipsticks. Red 2 doesn’t have that bright red with orange or brown tinge. It is that deep red which suits all the skin tones. I can’t say that it’s long-lasting, but yes it stays for almost 5-hours and doesn’t dry your lips.
Skin Tones: Almost all the skin tones.
Price: INR 600 (MRP)

Colorbar Velvet Matte Lipstick: 183VALL FIRED UP

Colorbar has been my bae brand for colored eye pencils but not my best pick in lipsticks. The Colorbar Velvet Matte Lipstick has a velvet touch, but the stay is not that long. It’s suitable for a one or two-hour outing, but yes it’s transferable, hence not ideal for dates. *wink* But yes it’s smooth and enriched with Vitamin E.
Skin Tones it suits: Fair | Light | Medium | Tan
Price: INR 325 (MRP)

M.A.C Retro Matte Liquid Lipcolour – Feels So Grand

Who doesn’t know about this brand? Some people love it some people dream of owning it. Before owning products from this brand, I used to think why people spend so much on M.A.C when they can get the same shade/color in another brand? But now I know why the price tag on their products is so high! Sharing my views here:
- Long-Lasting. Tried and Tested. Almost stayed for 7 hours.
- Non-Bleeding
- Color wears is even.
- Smooth Texture throughout the day
- Creamy base.
Skin Tones it suits: Fair | Light | Medium
Price: INR 1900 (MRP)

Lakme 9 to 5: R1 Red Coat
