5 Different shades of Red lipstick, mini review and swatches on medium skintone from Rs 50-650



Welcome to my blog "Beauty with Soumya". Red lipsticks are the most versatile shade which can brighten any look. If you are running late and do not have time to do whole lot of makeup you can just apply minimal makeup with red statement lips and you are done. This is the shade that suits every skintone out there and easily available in every lipstick range.

But there are a lot of shades of red lipsticks and you should figure out which will suit your skintone the best and complement your look. So, in this blog I am going to show you different shades of red lipsticks which are easily available online and in stores with swatches on my medium skintone, also I am going to tell you right shade for your skintone.
Every lipstick shown below is comfortable to wear and do not accentuate fine lines on the lips.
I am going to show lipsticks in decreasing order of prices. So, let's start




1) Maybelline Superstay Matte Ink Lipstick- Voyager :  



  • Price- INR 650 but grab it on sale for 450- 500 easily.
  • Maybelline superstay matte ink lipstick in the shade voyager is a wine burgundy shade suitable for every skintone. It will look gorgeous on medium to deeper skintones and give a dark lips look for fair skintone but still look very beautiful. 
  • These are famous for their longetivity. they claim that lipstick remains for 16 hours. I have never checked them for 16 hours but they will easily last you throughout the day. After very oily food you need to touch up your lips just on the insides of lip as layering them up can make you feel heavy. 
  • These are highly pigmented and non-drying but after few hours can make your lips dry so I will suggest to apply lip balm.
  • It takes quite a time to become dry so do not stick your lips until wet otherwise it comes patchy, apply an even coat for smooth finish.
  • It feels a bit sticky.
This is my go to lipstick for parties or whenever I am going to eat a lot, or when I want to make a bold statement lips this is the one.

2) Blue Heaven Elegance Matte Lip Color- 01:


  • Price- INR 105, sale price- INR 85
  • It is an orange toned red lipstick. It will complement fair to medium skintones but can be wore by anyone as it will not wash you out. It looks great in day time.
  • It has a thin consistency and settles into a complete matte lipstick within 30 seconds. It is transfer proof but transfers after eating or drinking anything. so dab on the tissue after that or you can reapply. It cannot stand heavy meals
  • blue heaven elegance matte lip color 01 is highly pigmented and non drying but I will suggest to use a lip balm underneath
  • lasts upto 6 hours, this range is excellent choice in a budget but different colors perform differently so choose wisely

3) Blue Heaven Elegance Matte Lip Color- 07:


  • Price- INR 105, sale price- INR 85
  • It is a maroon color with slight pink undertones, complement all the skintones. this is more of an evening color.
  • It has a watery consistency and settles within seconds into complete matte lipstick. It becomes patchy to layer it up after it becomes dry so you have to work fast.
  • pigmentation is good not very high but will last you a decent amount of time.
  • This range is easily available online as well as in local stores.

4) Matte Look Lipstick- 101:

  • Price- INR 99 for 3.8 gm, bought from a local store
  • This brand has some good lipstick launches with very good quality so I will recommend to take a look.
  • This is a blue toned true red lipstick complement every skintone out there. This is a very bright red like in your face red color looks pretty in day time.
  • This is a bullet lipstick so it will transfer a bit but it settles into a complete matte finish and non drying too.
  • It can stand light meals but cannot stand heavy meals but you can always reapply.
  • It is a highly pigmented lipstick, blot on a tissue paper or apply some powder and blend for more matte look.
This colour is really gorgeous and my go to red lipstick, If you can get your hands on it I will highly recommend it.

5) Candy Lipstick- 28:


  • Price- INR 50 for 3.8 gm, bought from a local store 
  • It is a lighter red lipstick, suit everyone.
  • This is a creamy lipstick not at all and is an OK quality lipstick. 
  • It is very much pigmented but transfers a lot so use I use a powder for a matte finish and it looks great. 
It was my first lipstick but a great purchase I used it a lot. So it is good for beginners or who do not want to invest much.
