9 Perfect Red Lipsticks Our Editors Swear By

I’ve never been much of a lipstick person—it’s always been all about the eyes for me. When I came to work at a women’s magazine, I felt like I had to try a bit harder—emphasis on try. After early lippie attempts left me looking like Pennywise, a colleague staged an intervention and raided the makeup closet. I’m now a matte crayon lipstick convert. My favourite version comes from Canadian company Bite Beauty—it’s the perfect shade of bright red, it’s not too matte or too drying and it wears down nicely to a subtle stain. Apparently the brand is in the process of reformulating a bunch of products, so the lip crayon is on deep sale right now. (Dear Bite: Please don’t discontinue this colour! I’m also hoping you start a program where you can take the packaging back.) —Gillian Grace, deputy editor
