The InStyle Beauty Team's Favorite Red Lipsticks

"It looks spectacular with a denim dress or an evening gown. There are no detectable blue or yellow undertones, so it shines perfectly against my light olive skin. And the rosy scent just adds to the sophistication."—Angelique Serrano, Beauty Director

"This orange-y red is my old reliable. I love the way it pops against my fair complexion.”—Selene Milano, Senior Beauty Editor

“This bold red is really more like a blood orange, which instantly brightens my tan skin.”—Sheryl George, Beauty Editor

"I’m such a 50 shades of nude girl and very rarely branch out from the spectrum, but when I’m feeling a red, I go for this one by Bite. The brown undertones are flattering against my medium complexion, and it gives off a slight ‘90s grunge rock vibe, which I kind of live for.”—Marianne Mychaskiw, Associate Beauty Editor

“I love the satin finish of Chanel’s Rouge Allure lipsticks, and this shade—a slightly tangerine, poppy-colored red—feels especially fresh.”—Dianna Mazzone, Assistant Beauty Editor

"Call me crazy, but I swear a true red shade doesn’t suit me. As an alternative, I reach for this shade, a berry color with a slight red undertone to it.”—Erin Lukas, Beauty Writer
