So, why not begin with cost effective red lipsticks which are equally efficient in terms of performance.

Elizabeth Arden Ultra Ceramide Lipstick Brick Review, Swatches
By Simran
“Show off your lips, show off your lipstick”
Hello everyone!
Don’t we all enjoy an amazing red lipstick? A red lipstick is something which instantly makes you look glorious even if you are only wearing the lipstick alone. A red lipstick has its own pros; it makes you look younger, feel confident, it is perfect for every occasion and you can wear any outfit with it. Every girl probably needs to own a luxurious red lipstick in their vanity.
So, I will be reviewing one of my favourite luxury red lipstick from Elizabeth Arden, The Elizabeth Arden Ultra Ceramide lipstick in Brick.
Claims: This lustrous, colour-saturated lipstick is infused with Volulip and delivers brilliant, moisturizing, colour-lasting comfort shine, for plumper, fuller-looking lips. Lips look fuller, more defined … and feel youthfully smooth, soft and nourished. Ceramide Triple Complex helps strengthen and re-texturize skin’s appearance, holding in vital skin-plumping moisture. Lips look fuller and younger. Contours seem more defined.
Key ingredient: Volulip ceramide triple complex.
Price: $24 or approximately INR 1650.
Packaging: The lipstick tube is black in colour with trails of golden near the cap. I bought the lipstick last year from duty-free but now the company has changed the packaging which is embossed with a design inspired by the iconic Elizabeth Arden Red Door and textured golden in colour. Despite the change in packaging, the texture and colour remained the same.
Texture & Colour: The lipstick is not exactly a glossy lipstick, it leaves a sheen on your lips; it is more of a demi-matte or moisture-matte in finish. The texture is buttery smooth and it glides on your lips like a dream and gives you a rich feel. It is very comfortable on the lips to wear. The lipstick does transfer a lot if you do not set it with powder.
Coming to the colour, the hue of the lipstick is a cool toned red or brick red. It is very pleasing to the eyes and can be worn daily to your work place.
My take on the product: The lipstick being a moisture matte lipstick is one of my favourite go-to red lipsticks. The brick red colour will ideally suit Indian skin tones. I like to turn down the lipstick to a complete matte by patting some translucent powder over it.
The staying power of the lipstick is a good 7-8 hours after which it will start fading from the centre of the lips; the lipstick can survive a good 4 course meal. It does not bleed or settle in to fine lines.
The Volulip ceramide triple complex does help in giving the illusion of plump lips and the lips appear more fuller. The company claims that the lipstick lasts a good 20 hours, which I highly disagree with.
Overall, the pigmentation of the lipstick is great and it offers an amazing colour pay off in just one swipe.
Though the lipstick is not transfer proof. I recommend using the Elizabeth Arden Beautiful colour smooth line lip pencil in the shade Crimson along with the lipstick as a lip liner underneath.
Pros:
Appreciable Lasting power
Great pigmentation
Will suit Indian skin tones
Plumps lips and gives a fuller look
Does not settle into fine lines
Gives a luxurious feel
Does not bleed upon application
Cons:
None I can think of.
Rating: 4.5/5
I recommend this lipstick to anyone looking for a great cool toned red lipstick for everyday use; this is one of the best options to try out in the luxury section.
Top 10 Matte Red Lipsticks for Indian Skin, Prices, Buy Online
By Sanchita
I am sure all of us are aware of the saying that, red lipstick is to women what sports cars are for men. Definition of red lipstick is different to every woman. To me, it symbolizes power. Every woman (must) have a red lipstick in her stash. It has the power to glam up any look and instantly brightens up the face like anything. It adds a sophisticated touch to every look and the beauty of it is undeniable. It has the panache and classiness of a confident woman, playfulness of carefree little girl inside every one of us and bold and fierceness to rule the world. From Hollywood to Bollywood, we have seen and admired the Divas sporting the dashing and gorgeous red lips all you have to do is choose the right kind of ‘red’ and see how it rocks your world.
So, to lessen down the burden of hunting the best ‘red’ for those sexy pouts, here’s the list of top 10 red lipstick for Indian skin tones.
Mostly all shades are matte and long staying, click on the links to read reviews or see swatches or click on ‘Buy here’ to buy it online and some at amazing deals.
1. MAC RUBY WOO – 1450 INR
This is, by far, the best of the best red you can choose with your eyes closed. The mystery behind this one is still undiscovered that how a single shade of red can look ‘drop-dead’ gorgeous irrespective of every skin tone and complexion. When in doubt, choose Ruby Woo because it can never disappoint you, like ever! It has a rich and intense matte texture but glides on the lips like velvet. The price might haunt you for some time but once you wear it, you can never go back to another red.
2. SUGAR MATTE AS HELL SCARLET O’HARA – 799 INR(BUY HERE) (Read Review of the Range HERE)
The brand brought forward four signature matte lip crayons and trust me, it was a heart wrenching condition to choose one. The Scarlet O’Hara is the ‘on-the-face’ bright shade of red, perfect to make you look like a diva! The shade is like a rockstar which has all the ability to take all the limelight alone. When you’re wearing this, make sure to keep the other makeup minimal. The staying power is phenomenal and an excellent choice for the brides.
3. FACES ULTIME PRO MATTE LIP PENCIL MIDNIGHT ROSE – 799 INR(BUY HERE) (Review and Swatches HERE)
They are reds that make you look like stunning and there are the ones which are bright and eventful. Well, the Midnight Rose is something which gives you the power and confidence like no other. It slightly a darkened maroon red lip color, with gorgeous color pay off and simply an epitome of awesomeness. The texture is creamy smooth with a velvet matte finish. It doesn’t budge a bit and stay put literally the whole day. It is a must-have and highly recommend color of 2015!
4. LOREAL LINCOLN ROSE – 925 INR (BUY HERE for 799) (Review and Swatches HERE)
The shade was an instant hit when Aishwarya Rai Bachchan wore it to Cannes. The packaging is gorgeous and so is the shade. It is pink based red which is moderately bright and perfect for both day and night time. The texture is comfortably creamy and settles into a matte finish and wears a long time. It is leaves behind a sweet trail red on the lips after being faded. The color is extremely sweet and feminine and if you are not comfortable with ultra-bright and hot reds, you can go for this.
5. REVLON MATTE REALLY RED – 599 INR
The Matte range of Revlon has some seriously gorgeous reds that have been continuing till today since 1951. The Really Red is a blue based bright tomato red that has the hint of rich and intense color. It is one of the rarest blue-based red that look flattering of warm Indian skin tones and another bridal red. The texture is like a creamy comfortable matte and extremely easy on dry and parched lips. A classy shade of red with a great wear time.
6. LAKME 9 TO 5 MATTE LIP COLOR -RED COAT – 450 INR (BUY HEREfor 365)
This red lipstick from the 9 to 5 range of Lakme is a pretty semi-bright deep blue-based red. It has no shimmers or glitter speckles and tailored for an alluring matte finish. It is, again, a pretty bridal red for matte lovers and looks pretty good on fair to dusky skin tones. However, the darker complexions with warm undertones might not be able to pull it off very well. This is like a classic red lipstick from the 90s and still beautiful.
Deborah Milano Rosetto Atomic Red Mat 05 is a deep cherry red that gives a powder matte finish, very close to the Chambor Powder Matte range. The color has a neutral undertone and a gorgeous choice for any occasion. It is very close color to the reputable MAC Ruby Woo (not a dupe!). It doesn’t feel uncomfortable on lips or accentuates to fine lines as well. The color fades off leaving a reddish tint on the lips.
8. COLORBAR VELVET MATTE LIPSTICK, HOT HOT HOT – 325 INR (BUY HERE)
This is best budget friendly red you can have in your life. It is bright and bold true red with no undertones at all. It has a creamy-matte finish and elusive silver packaging. In fact, this is one of the hot selling Reds of the brands and you can also try out the Hearts and Tarts as well. The versatility of the color is that it is tailored for every complexion and very easy to pull off even though it is bright and audacious.
This is an all-time-favorite red with neutral undertones. In fact, I would go on call it a classic red as this is a sort of color a girl would love to wear endlessly. The texture is a winner with its powder matte finish and a single swipe or two of the color will give some gorgeous pout you have to waiting for. If there’s any no.2 red lipstick in my collection after Ruby Woo, it will be Rubis Rouge.
The color is a vibrant red with slightly blue undertones. However, the color is so stunning that will flatter no matter what skin tone or complexion you have. The magnificent semi-glossy texture with a promising wear time of 8hrs, the color is a stunner in its own way. It is extremely lightweight and doesn’t bleed at all. Hence, you does need a primer or lip liner underneath. It is rich and pigmented and has absolutely nothing to complain about.
Bonus 11: L’Oreal Paris Pure Red Lipstick in Freida’s Pure Rouge – INR 995 (BUY HERE for 746) (Review & Swatches HERE)
Again a beautiful, universally flattering red which will work on majority skin tones. It instantly brightens up your face while Aishwarya’s Pure Brick is more of a warm brick brown, Pure Rouge is the only shade from the entire Pure Reds Range that is a true, deep, pure red!
Editor’s Note: Wow, that was quite a list!! Loving every shade here. I only own Ruby Woo, Pure Rouge and Midnight Rose from the above :/ But absolutely love Ruby Woo and suggest each and everyone to own that shade! Revlon Really Red has been on my wishlist since years, always forget or it’s OOS. Few I would like to add to this list are L’Oreal Paris Infallible Lipsticks in Ravishing Red and Refined Ruby (Not Matte but long staying), Maybelline 14H SuperStay Lipstick in Non Stop Red (INR 575- BUY HERE for 460) and Diana of London 2000 Kisses Lipstick in Red Nature.

L’Oreal Paris Moist Mat Lipstick Lincoln Rose Review, Swatches
By Ishleen
Hello there, gorgeous!
So the holiday spirit has finally seeped in, and seeped in with a BAM! With the ethereal beauty of winters and the New Year’s party knocking down the corner, it is always a great opportunity to get hold of a red lipstick, and make your pout shine in all its blooming glory! <3
So after a lot of contemplation so as to spend almost a thousand bucks for a drugstore lipstick or to add 500 bucks more and get our patent MAC, I finally succumbed to buying this gorgeously packaged lipstick from L’Oreal in Lincoln Rose! Was it worth succumbing to the temptation? Keep reading to know more!
Product Description
Name- L’Oreal Moist Mat Lipstick
Shade- Lincoln Rose
Price- INR 899
Quantity- 4.2 grams
Availability- Available across all L’Oreal counters as well as online
My experience:
Packaging– If ever there was a love at first sight moment for me, it was when I saw this gorgeous little baby at the L’Oreal counter! Those of you who know me, know what a sucker I am for classy as well as cute packaging—they just make me go weak in the knees! And if the packaging is chic as well as in a hue of rose gold with uber classy mirror-like finish—count me in baby! So now you know why people are raving about this lipstick range so much—it is love at first sight, truly! But yes, the packaging though nice on the exterior, is quite flimsy on the inside! I mean, the lipstick tube is like really feeble and prone to breakage upon the slightest pressure; so just be cautious!
Texture- L’Oreal has this thing of playing with names—and so has been done with L’Oreal Moist Mat Range! I mean, the name is pretty intriguing—how can a moist lipstick be matte, and how can a matte lipstick be moist? But breaking the obnoxious monotony of dehydrating mattes, L’Oreal Paris has come up with the most amazing matte textured lipsticks which though settle into a powdery matte finish, yet is not at all dry. It glides on super smooth and does not look flaky. It indeed is a moist matte lipstick—the most wonderful texture I have used till date! Nothing like Mac retro mattes, but definitely similar to the Mac Satin finish lipsticks!
Shade- This particular shade is the most coveted of the lot and is mostly out of stock across all stores. And why should it not be—our miss universe Aishwarya Rai Bacchan had worn it for the Cannes Film Festival and flaunted the most amazing pout ever! The lipstick shade—as gorgeous as the outer packaging—is a very vibrant medium red with invariably strong pink-berry undertones which promises to flatter each and every skin tone! Perhaps it is the most stunning pink based medium red which is bold, but not at all in your face bright! A must try shade from the lot!
Pigmentation- Apart from the texture, if there is one thing that left me totally love struck; it is the super opaque pigmentation of the lipstick! I mean even the darkest of pigmentation (on lips, obviously :P) can be camouflaged easily with just two swipes of this lipstick! And if you have naturally pink lips, i.e., without any sort of pigmentation—one light stroke is all that it would take to get the colour in full bloom on the lips!
Staying power- these are drying winter months and I prefer using a lip balm underneath even the most creamiest of the lipsticks! And though, Moist Mat is matte, I can easily do even without a lip balm! Yes, it is that smooth to use! Atop a lip balm it stays for about 4+ hours and does not leave horrendously stained lips behind. But if applied sans any lip balm, the wear time can be prolonged to a good 6-7 hours, though it will stain the lips (which are not at all gross to look at; in fact, gives a nice raspberry tint upon fading)!
Pros:
-gorgeous packaging
-colour coded tabs on the lipstick tube
-very comfortable matte lipstick]
-not at all drying
-can be worn even without a lip balm
-super-opaque
-covers pigmented lips well
-lasts on the lips for a good 4-6 hours
Cons:
-price (900 bucks for a drugstore lipstick! Like, seriously?) *SIGH*
-flimsy lipstick tube which is prone to breakage
-may melt in the summer months
Final verdict: If you are on the look out of a nice pink based red, with very strong pink undertones—which is matte, comfortable to apply and wears well—go grab this beauty!
Rating: 4.7/5
Editor’s Note: Totally agree Ishleen, absolutely love the shade!
I mentioned about the launch of the new Lakme Absolute Lip Pouts HERE. They have launches it in 6 matte and 10 creme shades. The matte shades are out already and the creme ones would follow soon.
What the Company claims: Lakme Absolute Lip Pout are a playful take on lip tints with excellent colour pay off. Lip Pout is your go-to lip tint for that effortlessly vibrant and playful look. So play with your pout & experiment with different lip trends.
MRP: Rs.650/- for 3.5g
Shades Available: 6
Tangerine Touch Scarlet Rose Magenta Magic Raving Red Pink Fantasy Victorian Rose
Today I am reviewing the shades Tangerine Touch, Pink Fantasy and Raving Red.
On the pencils, they mention ‘Lip Tint’, I guess it is their old product Lakme Absolute Lip Tints which they have now re launched in these matte and glossy Lip Pouts version with a new name.
These come in a lip crayon format and have a twist up mechanism. The outer colors are according to the shades and all have a silver cap. The crayon format is very travel friendly too.
The texture and finish of this is completely matte and it kind of reminds me of the Inglot AMC Lip Pencils. These are decently pigmented but as expected very dry. You will definitely need a lip balm underneath and they are very unforgiving if you have dry lips and will accentuate them. So scrubbing lips is a must with these.
They stay for around 5-6 hours but do not survive meals, thankfully they fade off evenly. I think I expected more in terms of staying power and pigmentation. They transfer 1-2 times at first when they are not set which takes some time.
Pink Fantasy is a blue based rose pink
Tangerine Touch is a bright orange
Raving Red is a pinkish red
L-R: Tangerine Touch, Raving Red, Pink Fantasy
The colors are not something very unique or different, the usual normal basic shades, I feel there should have been 1-2 more shades like mauves, plums or bright Ruby Woo kind of red.
L-R: Pink Fantasy, Raving Red, Tangerine Touch,
I swatched the Pink Fantasy first, hence it looks better on the lips. By the time I swatched Tangerine Touch last, the scraping/removing the previous swatches made lips very dry, hence the Tangerine one looks patchy.
Here are these on me..
L-R: Tangerine Touch, Raving Red, Pink Fantasy
I also like Magenta Magic and Victorian Rose and would love to try those too. I absolutely love matte lipsticks and Pink Fantasy is my favourite out of these three, followed by Tangerine Touch.
I am so glad these are priced at Rs.650/- coz all new Lakme Absolute launches have been priced at around Rs.800 since quite some time.
Overall I would say, I am very happy that Indian companies are coming up with matte lipsticks and these convenient crayon forms. I only expected a bit more in terms of shades and staying power, I hope they come up with more shades. But at least they are priced decently, these are already out in the market and also available online.

Oriflame The One Colour Unlimited Lipsticks Review,Swatches
What the Company claims:
MRP: Rs.499/- for 1.7g
Shades Available:8
Violet Extreme
Pink Unlimited
Mocha Intensity
Fuchsia Excess
Forever Plum
Endless Red
Always Cranberry
Absolute Blush
I am reviewing the shades Fuchsia Excess and Endless Red today.
It comes in a sleek and slender grey and black packaging..only disadvantage of this packaging is you always get lipstick on the edges when you swivel it up and down. Also, this type of packaging mostly has less qty of lipstick like this one has only 1.7g
These are very moisturising, you don’t need any lip balm of any sort with these. They have sheer to medium coverage and you will need 2-3 swipes for opaque coverage especially for pigmented lips.
These are very glossy and shiny and mostly all the shades are pink and plum based, so I assume this range is targeted more towards the younger category.
It stays for 2-3 hours and I am a bit disappointed with the staying power,reading the 10 hour claim, but very easy to use and touch up. It does not bleed or stain teeth and you can quickly apply it anywhere.
Fuchsia Excess is a pretty blue based fuchsia pink,no neon here,pure fuchsia pink
Endless Red is a wearable,not too bright, light apple red with some fine shimmer
Top- Fuchsia Excess, Bottom- Endless Red
Here is it on me..
Left- Fuchsia Excess, Right- Endless Red
Overall I would say these are nice lipsticks to try,very moisturising,glossy and comes in some lovely shades. If you are looking for something matte or long staying, these are not meant for you. Also, Oriflame lipsticks are mostly on discounts, so do keep a check on the catalog and buy them on discount as they are a bit expensive at Rs.499/- for the quantity of 1.7g

Have you tried the Oriflame The One Colour Unlimited Lipsticks?
So, after reviewing the shades REB01 and REB05 HERE, here is another shade.
What the Company claims: Color Sensational presents the NEW Rebel Bouquet collection. A burst of rebellious colour!
Why You’ll Love It
Super-saturated pigments give fresh-picked pastels a bright kick. Sumptuous feel and enriched with honey nectar. 6 vivacious shades.
MRP: Rs.450/- for 3.9g
Shades Available: 6
The packaging is same as the Colorsensational one with a transparent red cap. It is super creamy and soft in texture, and gives a glossy finish. Though it does not glide on easily onto lips, you need to work carefully.
It is not transfer proof and stays for around 3-4 hours but does not survive eating proper lunch, etc. Very moisturising and you do not need any separate lip balm underneath.
Once settled, the lipstick stays put and the glossiness reduces a bit.
While REB01 was an apple red and REB05 a peachy coral, this shade REB04 is kind of a mix. Its a reddish coral shade.
I love this shade! Not something unique, but somehow love how it brightens my face.
Here is it on me..
Overall, I would say the new Maybelline Rebel Bouquet Lipsticks are bright,glossy finish lipsticks that stay for a longer time than usual glossy lipsticks. Comes in 6 pretty red, peach and coral shades. Definitely worth a try. Recommended.
What the Company claims: Elle 18 has made things simpler this summer for all the girls out there with their new range of Color boost lipsticks. It comes in 10 lovely shades including Pinks, Reds and Oranges. These lipsticks are enriched with a special cocoa-butter formula that keeps your lips soft and your colour intact for upto 6 hours. Well, nothing arrests the beholder’s attention more than a glamourous pout.
MRP: Rs.150/-
Shades Available: 10
I am reviewing 7 of them today. Elle 18 Color Boost Lipsticks come in a pretty black and pink girlie packaging, like it always has been. Check out the previous range HERE
The lipsticks have an orange center which is their lip balm at the core, that keeps the lipstick moisturising. I like how hydrating and light they feel on the lips. Surprisingly, they are very,very pigmented. I just couldn’t get rid of the swatches from the hand even after washing thrice with a cleanser and had to use a good makeup remover to finally remove them.
Of course. they don’t stay for 6 hours as claimed, but the staying power is better than the previous Color Pop Lipsticks.The lighter shades stay for around 2.5-3 hours and the darker ones stay for around 3.5-4 hours, without and eating that is.
They are not transfer proof, but even after they wear off, the brighter shades leave a nice tint behind.
Talking of the packaging, it is very,very flimsy. One lipstick which I loved the most, Miss Pink was already broken from the bullet before I received them. So, these are not very travel friendly too and should be carried along with care.
But as you guys know, the brand Elle 18 is all about affordability. These babies are very economical at 150 bucks and all the 10 new shades are super pretty and bright. Perfect for summers. Highly recommend getting 1-2 of these!
Here are the shades:
07 Hollywood Pink: Reddish Pink with silver shimmer
10 Superlicious Red : Warm Red with a hint of coral
08 Red Passion: Warm Orange Red
09 Hyper Orange: Warm Bright Peach
01 Miss Pink: Soft Fuchsia Pink
05 Nude Coral: MLBB Everyday nude shade with a hint of coral
06 Blonde Pink: Rosey Pink Brown with silver shimmer
And on moi..
I invested a lot of time in swatching, editing, etc. :/ I hope you guys like these pics and it is helpful for you to decide the shades, if in case you are buying it online or even shortlisting shades, if you are buying it from the store.
My favourite shades are Superlicious Red, Red Passion and Miss Pink, followed by Blonde Pink.

Red Apple Lipstick™ is independently lab-tested gluten free. Our formula is designed this way, and is the world’s best gluten free lipstick. Why is this important?

Red! 101: Red!™ by Red Apple Lipstick™ is our brightest red! This red was designed for those who are truly brave enough to wear red lipstick. Not for the faint of heart, Red!™ turns heads, gets attention and flutters hearts.
Red!™ has a subtle vanilla scent, giving you a perfectly kissable pout with a wonderful fragrance and taste. You won’t be disappointed in this bright red lipstick!
Red! is our signature blue-based red lipstick. This color is absolutely fabulous and serves up glamour without fail!
We’ve seen this color on women of all ages, skin tones and walks of life; it really becomes the rockstar of any makeup bag!

I love their simple black packaging. The colours are bright and pigmented. The lipsticks are buttery soft, especially Petal Pusher. It actually broke the time I tried swatching it :/ Maybe coz of the summer heat and travel it went through 😀
It goes on smooth and it doesn’t feel heavy at all. It does not accentuate the lines on the lips and keeps the lips moisturized and hydrated too.
Petal Pusher is a nice,soft rosy pink. Though its cool-toned, its not like Barbie pink and does not wash me out. I quite like this shade, I wish it did not break 🙁
Red! 101 is their signature red. A true red that would work for all skin tones. Its bright and bold, but not in your face or look I am wearing red.
Both the lipsticks are quite pigmented. Red stays on for a good 5-6 hours while the Petal Pusher stays on for 3-4 hours since it is very creamy.
Here is it on me..
Only downside would be the price and the availability. But if you are someone who can’t deal with lipsticks or the lips get very dry, this vegan,gluten free, safe and all natural lipsticks are made for you. Purest form of lipsticks with no chemicals at all.

I absolutely love the shade Glissade and now the new favourite is Rockabilly. These are super pigmented and long staying. They stay for around 6-7 hours.
Feels super light on lips and the finish as described satin, is not completely matte, but pretty comfortable and hydrating. It goes on glossy and settles for a more matte look in an hour.
Rockabilly is described as a cherry red, it is indeed a cool toned pink based cherry red but very wearable and not over bright, though it looks more pink in the bullet in bright light here.

Here is it on me..
Overall, I would say the Illamasqua Glamore Lipsticks are a must have! These are super pigmented,long staying,light,comfortable and have a nice range of shades. Only issues are pricing which is a bit high and the availability.
