February has me overdosing on all things red and let’ssss be honest, there’s no better time than now to rock a bold red lip! I know there are a million options out there (and trust me, I’ve tried a TON) but there are a handful of red lipsticks that I swear by! 💋 There are a few shades that I’ve been wearing for what feels like decades, and then a couple new colors that I’ve learned about more recently. Since I know a lot of you girls love a red for this season, I pulled together the best of the best red lipsticks. All 5 colors happen to be MAC – I’ve always enjoyed their texture and colors!
So here are my Top Five Favorite Red Lipsticks that I highly recommend. I pretty much ALWAYS wear a lipliner with all my lipsticks and totally feel undone if I don’t. It’s pretty genius (and SO helpful) that now they sell them in a duo so no more guessing which color to pair them with! So let’s get to it.
Ruby Woo –
First up is Ruby Woo! It was probably my first red lipstick I ever purchased for myself a million years ago and is that universal red that looks great on just about everyone.
Lady Danger –
If you are looking for that POW in-your-face show-stopping red…this is it! I always get so many compliments whenever I rock this one. I tend to go for this one on special occasions or a fun girls’ night out. Definitely a great one to have in your makeup kit.
Chili –
Ahhh Chili, hands down my most worn red ever. It’s a little deeper than the rest and bit more understated. It always gives me that classy Old Hollywood vibe and LOVE it! It’s also the one I’m wearing in the above photos. If I had to choose ONE it would be a tough call between this and Lady Danger but would have to go with Chili!
Russian Red –
Russian Red, another classic that you honestly just can’t go wrong with. It’s the perfect shade and looks great on everyone!
Mulling Spices –
Is a newer lipstick in my kit but has been used a ton. This style of Mac Lipstick is a bit more moisturizing and the color is a bit more of an understated red – similar to Chili.
and here’s a swatch of all five of them if you girls want a closer look….
Okay so I clearly have an addiction to Mac lipstick and know there are TONS of different reds out there from different brands. If you have a red you’re obsessed with, please share! I think I want to try one from NARS next!
I’m also giving away a lipstick goodie bag to two of you! Just leave a comment below and on my Insta post today telling me YOUR FAVORITE RED and the winners will be announced here (and on my IG post on Sunday!)
Definitely love that Chili!
Russian Ref is my fav! I’m gonna have to try Chili though.
I love Russian Red! It was my first red lipstick!

I love Russian Red by MAC also! ♡
MAC Ruby Woo!
I have a thing for red!!! Love all these … chili might be my new fav!
I love Ruby Roo but my favorite and most unique Retro Red combo is MAC Cherry Lipliner with MAC Vegas Volt lipstick! It is Perfection! 💋
Ruby Woo was my first red lipstick and is just a classic!! ❤️💋
I love Ruby Woo!! If you want to try out one from Nars … I recommend you try out the velvet lip pencil in Cruella👌🏽 The formula is so velvety and comfortable on the lips ❤️ Girl!! But now I have to go out and try out all your picks!! Especially Chili😉Tnx for this post!
Ruby woo always
Beso by Shila is amazing!!
Ruby Woo looks like a red I’d love to try!
Whirl and Sweet Venom By MAC 😍💕
My go to is the Kat Von D matte liquid lipstick in Underage Red 🔥🔥🔥
Russian Red is my red lip color! I don’t wear it often but it’s the best red for sure!!
Stila beso liquid lipstick is my favorite all time red. I need a new tube soon.
I am not normally a res lipstick kind if girl but had bought Ruby Woo yrs ago and had a time pulling it off for me. I really like Mulling Spices which looks like a gorgeous color and love that its not so in your face kind of red!
Mac Red 💋💄
Love Chili and Brave Red!
Ruby Woo!
I’ll admit that I have only worn red lipstick once in my life. I’ve always struggled with which red to wear. You look amazing with red lipstick Andee! I need to be more bold on a night out and try maybe Ruby Woo or Chili! My hubby would probably like it, too.
Mac True Loves Kiss (Maleficent Collection) Best red everrrrr and unavailable now 😩
I don’t actually have a favorite-I’m a red lipstick virgin! But I really want to try “chili”, it looks gorgeous!
Russian Red & Ruby woo are always my go to 💋
My favorite red is Strawberry by Anastasia Beverly Hills! I love wearing a liquid red so it doesn’t smear and stays on all night
I love Russian Red, but Lady Danger looks like it could be fun in the summer!
Oh, I love them all. Definitely feeling the Chili shade.
Love the ruby red
I love a high/low combo… so my two faves are Charlotte Tilbury lipstick in Carina’s Love & Revlon lipstick in Love That’s Red!!
I mean red lips means sexy time for the husband lol, plus it’s classic and gorgeous! Love the tips
Thank you!!
Also side note did the valentines breakfast for my kids! They enjoyed it SO much!
I loe Russian Red and Ruby Woo. Also like Ladybug which is a sheer red but looks great with the Redd lipliner from MAC. Definitely try the lipstains from Stila in Beso and Fiery. Both colors are gorgeous reds. Not drying at all and can easily be applied without a lipliner.
I love red anything!! Chili is so pretty!! ❤️ Happy Galentines day!!
Russian Red!
Chili!
Mac hot Tahiti is my fav!
I’ve always stuck with Ruby Woo (pretty sure I purchased because of your recommendation YEARS ago)! But I’d love to try Chili! Xo
I am so scared to try red lipstick (silly, I know) but I do love Mulling Spices!
My favorite red EVER is GloMinerals Suede Matte Crayon in Bombshell (so comfortable to wear and lasts forever). Closely followed by Ofra Liquid Lipsticks in Atlantic City and Ultimate Red (a bit drier but won’t move all day). Love your MAC choices as well!
I have a red by mabelline that I love and just can’t find anything that looks as good!
I love MAC retro matte liquid lipcolour in “Dance With Me” and my very favorite red is NARS “jungle red” ❤️… gonna try Lady Danger, though.
Love the Mulling Spices!
My go-to red is Mac’s Russian Red, but when i want more of a “wine” color, i go for Urban Decay’s Bad Blood. I definitely would like to try Ruby Woo!
I love NARS Red Lizard!
Mac ruby woo and Russian red!
I love Ruby Woo but I may have to try Chili now 😉
