Every redhead needs a little coral in her life. Coral Crush is the perfect amount of coral but it also has hints of pink to it. The texture is super smooth and doesn’t feel heavy on the lips.
3. Effortless Red

4. Berry Blast

This deep berry color looks great on all skin tones and hair colors. It’s non-drying and versatile.
5. Deep Berry

This is a very nourishing deep berry shade that any redhead can rock. Bonus: It’s a stick so it’s very easy to apply. 
6. Matte Red
NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Cruella, $24 Shop here
This product is absolutely beautiful! It is the right amount of boldness that every redhead gal needs in her lipstick collection.
7. Glamorous Red
Lancome Color Design Lipstick in Red Stiletto, $10 Shop here
Another beautiful red to add to your collection! I always feel so glam when I put this shade on. It is a great fall color but also a wonderful shade to use during the holidays!
8. Peachy Gloss
Soap & Glory Sexy Mother Pucker Lip Shine Lacquer in Charm Offensive, $6
This made it to the list despite not even being a lipstick and for a very good reason too. It’s got a dark peachy edging over to pink color. It’s glossy and tacky without being sticky in an annoying way.
9. Wow Factor Red
KIKO MILANO Jelly Stylo in Bright Red, $10 Shop here
This lipstick has that pow factor to brighten up a grey day in an instant. Team it with a liner in a similar color to avoid bleeding. It’s quite a statement lipstick so you can afford to keep your eye makeup low key and let your lips do the talking.
10. Daytime Orange
Avon Ultra Color Lipstick in Enduring Sable, $10
This is my go-to daytime lipstick. It’s got an orange bronze tone to it with a hint of glitter to make your lips shimmer and shine. It’s versatile and great for when you’re in a rush.
11. Subtle Berry
Maybelline New York ColorSensational Lipcolor in Bit of Berry, $10 Shop here
This berry color is ideal for winter as it takes the best part of winter and turns it into something beautiful. It’s dark, sexy and intriguing.
