There’s nothing like the power of wearing red lipstick. It’s been a go-to for many boss women— think: Rihanna’s Super Bowl performance, Sade’s signature look, and Beyoncé’s 2013 Grammys glam— who inspire us to step into our greatness.
Furthermore, a red lip can add a statement to any look; whether you’re stepping into a boardroom or completing a no-makeup makeup look with a pop of color, a swipe of red lipstick can show people that you’re unstoppable.
However, to fit your busy schedule, you may be wondering which lipstick will take you from day to night. And, with so many new launches on the market, you may be overwhelmed with where to start.
That said, in honor of National Lipstick Day today, we’re shouting out a few of our favorites— glossy, matte, hydrating, satin, and transfer-free included— below.
Ahead, here are red lipsticks you need to try for yourself.
