Nothing makes me feel more glamorous than when I wear a bright red lipstick. I not only love the attention it brings me but also the strong image it evokes. Throughout history, only the most beautiful and confident women have dared to wear this crimson shade of power and beauty. Can you imagine Marilyn Monroe without her trademark seductive, glossy pout? Or Debbie Harry, Madonna and Gwen Stefani for that matter?

Ruby Woo Retro Matte Lipstick by MAC
Those looking for movie star blue-red should look no further than this vivid shade. Inspired by MAC's best selling Russian Red Lipstick (worn by Madonna on her 1990 Blond Ambition World Tour), this lipstick features the original MAC lipstick formula which made the brand so famous. It is also closer in color to the original 90's Russian Red, which has consistently grown darker and less vibrant over the years. This lipstick is VERY matte, so for easier application apply a bit of lip balm first.

# 17 Red Muse Rouge Volupté' Lipstick by YSL
This luscious lipstick is the signature red of blonde bombshell Amanda Lepore and believe me, this woman knows true glamour! It's a beautiful, clean red that is a true balance of cool and warm tones. Featuring a satiny smooth texture and a high shine finish, it has become the winning replacement for my absolute favorite red that was discontinued. Bonus feature: the tube features a tiny mirror on the lid for easy touch ups! Gorgeousness!

Not for the faint of heart, this nearly neon orange-red is a personal favorite. This lipstick is so bright in fact, it's only available at MAC PRO industry stores or online. You know this color is dangerous if it's kept away from housewives and soccer moms! It features a velvety matte finish and goes on creamy and smooth. Traffic stopping!
First released in 1953, this rich, raspberry shade was the best selling red of the era. It's proved to be so popular that it has stayed in production ever since! It's perfect for those looking for a violet-red hue. It has a creamy, glossy finish and fades to a cherry bitten stain. There is also something so magical about the heavy, powdery fragrance featured in this tube. True vintage glamour!
