Chula by Kat Von D is my go-to! It's very opaque, super matte, yet creamy and comfortable on the lips. Has great staying power and I almost never wear a lip liner under it. It's a gorgeous warmer red!
I'd love if both of you did an entire makeup collection video! I'm always curious how my favorite beauty vloggers store their makeup (and how much they have!)
I went to The Netherlands on holiday a few weeks ago and literally went insane at Hema, having seen you talk about the lipsticks in a few of your videos. 06 is gorgeous!
i loved the red lipstick video you did with leena way back when, so i love that you did a cruelty free equivalent! also, another great lip liner which is cheaper than gosh is the catrice one in the shade prince cherry (which i believe is cf?), which does not come off for love nor money
Emy Noelle Oh good to know! :) will have a look at that one. I am kinda new to the red lipstick game, but I love it and haven't gotten around to buy lipliner. :)
I wish we'd been able to see them on, but I appreciate the hand-swatches!! It's amazing that you've gone cruelty-free; I've been dancing around it for awhile, but I think I should just take the plunge and see.
Not sure if you can get it in the UK but I've always been a fan of Gabriel lipstick (you can get it at Whole Foods), as well as Burt's Bee's matte lip crayons and tinted lip balms for a cheaper alternative.
I used to super love GOSH but they stopped selling them in Kruidvat in Belgium a few years ago. I don't know if they're still available in the Netherlands but they are no longer for sale anywhere in Belgium :(
Ladies, the best red lipsticks I ever tried (and wear them still) are from 100% Pure-Cocoa Matte lipsticks! They stay perfectly, are semi matt,lovely velvety texture and wear off by leaving stain on lips,which I personally love. Cruelty free + vegan+ gluten free, price is about 29 euro but it's worth it. And the shades I am talking about are: Sonora - bright red with orange undertone, Nopal - true, classic red with blue undertone and Blood Orange - deeper brick red.
Barry M matte 178 is my red lip, more blue red because orange red is really not a good look on me, stayed on through a very sweaty basement concert without bleeding without a lip liner, so I think that's a solid recommendation
