Hi everyone! I’m looking for a few budget options for red matte lipsticks and am wondering if anyone has any recommendations? I have a very pale and cold complexion with dark brown eyes and naturally ash blonde hair, so I tend to go for reds with a blue base in general! I’m looking for a matte lipstick that’s a deep, dark red yet vibrant and a very dark brownish / blackish red Right now I’m using Jeffree Star’s Unicorn Blood Liquid Lips – which I really love! And a Mac’s Retro Matte in “Sin” that I mix with the Mac’s mat “Haute Core” to darken the color. Any recommendations would be great – Thanks! 🙂

Absolutely the Rimmel Kate Miss red lipsticks. They are great!
Maybelline Superstay Matte Ink has really surpsised me in terms of quality/cost. I prefer it to jeffree’s (i also own unicorn blood and like it a lot), where i’m from its €5-€7 and really does stay on all day. People always compliment me on how beight and fun it is (i own the colors Pioneer and Dancer)
I heard the revlon ones are amazing and they have such a big shade range
Hi. Maybelline ‘ Red for me’ matte is really flattering because it has just enough blue to make it almost ‘neutral’ if that makes any sense. It is a cool red but still vibrant. For a darker shade I would say Revlon super lustrous lipstick in ‘Bali Brown’ which is a brownish red, or wet n wild liquid catsuit lipstick in ‘Video Vixen’…this is a matte really dark red. Good luck!
