A classic red lip works for every and any occasion and Valentine’s Day is no exception. It’s the perfect pop of the festive color to make any guy fall in love. The dilemma arises when you think of all the different types of products to use. Should I use a gloss, a stain, or a traditional red lipstick? Well I’ve ranked my favorites of each for everyone! Check them out!
 
 
Gloss:
 
Dior Addict Ultra-Gloss (Little Red Dress)
 

 

Make your lips shine with this amazing gloss from Dior. The gloss gives you just the right amount of color and doesn’t get very sticky like most glosses. If you love Dior fashions, you’ll be sure to love this lipgloss. Get yours now at Nordstrom, Macy’s or Sephora.
 
Stain:
 
Stila Açaí Crush Lip and Cheek Stain

 
As a first time user, I must say I was very impressed with this stain. The color lasted all day, and when it was time to come off, it did so effortlessly. The stain is infused with Acai, which is known for its antioxidants. So go ahead; be healthy and daring! Get yours now at any local Sephora.
 
Lipstick:
 
Revlon ColorBurst Lipstick (True Red 090)
 
 

 
The name does not lie. This lipstick definitely provides you with color, and long lasting color at that. And with its pricetag, who would want to turn this baby down? Find it at your local CVS.
