I just discovered Lipstick Queen by Poppy King, available at Bloomingdale’s. Lovely vintage reds, great texture and staying power (so far). The sinner line is beautiful!

Mac Ruby Woo! It’s so retro matte…makes me feel like Marilyn Monroe Never comes off, and you can use it like a stain if you apply lightly. Perfect

So I adore red lipstick and am always on the look out for new brands to try and this is really helpful so thak you. But i was also going to say that if you wanted to splurge M.A.C. has a brand called LipMix that has a red..I think is just named red and it comes in almost a squeeze tube that you apply with a brush and it is wonderful. It goes on really matte and is a true red that stays well. It can dry out a little bit durning the day though if you don’t condition your lips before heand though. The other splurge is, and you’re going to laugh but I recieved this as a gift, is at Sephora they have a line by tattoo artist Kat Von D and her lipstick in Hellbent is amazing. it goes on really well and lasts really well. it is more of a red pink so it goes well with fair skin tones and if you add a clear gloss over it at the end of the day it makes the best pink lip gloss.

But thanks you for this article about other colors… now I can’t wait to try new reds.

I read an article about a company called Bésame that's inspired by vintage makeup and aesthetic in its packaging and marketing. It's marketed as a luxury line bringing back the retro glam and reputedly high quality stuff. The lipstick tubes are tiny but they're highly pigmented. The founder, Gabriela Hernandez, spent a lot of effort recreating vintage shades--she even copied Marilyn Monroe's favorite red lipstick! With a brand name that translates into "Kiss Me" from Spanish, what could resist?

I just got MAC matte lipstick in Ruby Woo and it’s amazing. I also like the deep red of NARS lip crayon in Cruella. Together they are a dynamic duo! Just thought y’all should know. Enjoy!
