I've gone on the record about how much I love lipstick. Whether it's searching for my White Whale pink lipstick or trying out a lipstick with affirmations, I'm on board. Blame it on my love of Revlon's Cherry in the Snow, what can I say?

As much as I love nude lipstick, sometimes we want a lip color that pops — especially through the colder months when accessorizing is best done on the face. But even though I'm constantly searching for ways to experiment with different shades and textures, red lipstick is one product that will never steer you wrong.

The good news: There are tons of red lipsticks on the market. The bad news: There are tons of red lipsticks on the market. When looking for the right one, you have to take into account formula, color, and your skin tone. So of course, we had to come together and find our favorite shades. Ahead, the best red lipsticks — they all have our hearts...for now.
