Everyone who knows me knows that I’m a fan of the bright red lip. It’s an easier look to pull off than you think. Blue-reds are the easiest; it took me a couple years to acclimate before going full-red-red. Now, with all the red lips you see everywhere I say just go for it from the get go. Here are my three favorite true reds:

YSL Rouge Volupté Silky Sensual Radiant Lipstick in Red Temptation
$34 at Sephora

NARS Semi-Matte Lipstick in Shanghai Express
$24 at NARS

MAC Lipstick in Russian Red
$14 at MAC
