Glossy: Maybelline Vivid Hot lacquer
I got the shades So Hot and Classic. The first one is a bright orangey red and the other one is a darker red. They are both beautiful. I wear them almost every day. I also prefer putting them on and wiping them off gently so that I am left with a nice, natural shade of red that looks like I have nothing on. They last for a long time and they don’t smudge, even if you don’t use a lip pencil. Even after having lunch, they don’t come off completely. I love the applicator and I will keep it after the product runs out.
Matte: Dermacol Matte Mania liquid lip colour, shade 55
This is my go-to for classy matte red lips. I apply it with one stroke and wait a little until it dries. It is very light, I always forget I have it on. It is highly pigmented and the color is long-lasting and intense. It does not dry your lips. I still have it on after lunch, but is does come off a little if you wipe your lips.
It is paraben-free and vegan. It comes off with oil-based makeup remover.
I think it is a dupe for Fenty’s Uncensored lip paint and it only costs a few bucks.
