3 amazing red lipsticks under €10 for when you don't usually wear red lipstick

Red lipsticks aren't scary but the best-known ones are pricey. These three budget versions are perfect for trying out the trend

It's February 1st aka the start of the real new year. From eating well and exercising it's that glorious time for making promises you probably have no intention of keeping.

But making a few changes can be good for you, therapeutic even, and doing something small like getting a new hair style or experimenting with new makeup looks can make a big difference. One of the easiest ways to change up your look is to start wearing a red lip. It might take a while to find your shade and perfect, but you can cut out the expense with these red lipsticks you can buy in your nearest pharmacy.

Rimmel Lasting Finish by Kate Moss in Retro Red €7.99

This has become a cult classic in its field as the formula is just excellent. The long-lasting semi-matte finish lipstick is not only highly pigmented but also goes on smoothly. The formula is long lasting leaving you not having to touch up a lot through the day.

NYX Matte Lip Stick in Crazed €8.45

This matte lipstick stays put all day long. The only issue is that because it's so matte it can be slightly drying which is easily counteracted by using a good lip balm before.

Sleek Matte Me in Rioja Red €5.99

With this lip cream, you get the best of both worlds.  The matte finish liquid lipstick glides on in one smooth application. It's long-lasting, light textured and comfortable, doesn’t cake, flake or dry out. And all for a very affordable price.
