Quest for absolute red

The quest for the perfect red lipstick is an often long road, paved with disappointments. To avoid any disappointments, Standards has selected, for you, these little wonders that illuminate our days and evenings.

Dior – Rouge Dior (teinte : 999), 36€
A true classic that leaves no room for disillusionment. Rouge Dior and its shade 999, is the red lipstick that everyone must have had at least once in their life. Very hydrating, it will not fail at any time (even after lunch or dinner!).

Serge Lutens – Fard à lèvres allumettes (teinte : N°1 – D’estoc et de taille), 70€
A deep red housed in a light metallic case that fits easily in any handbag. Its intense matte finish and argan oil texture make it an exceptional lipstick. A must have!

Rouje – Le rouge à lèvres Jeanne (teinte : Rosso Classico), 25€
Easy to apply, this lipstick does not dry out the mouth at all. We love it for its flamboyant hue and its vintage touch, which accompanies us everywhere.

Pat McGrath – MatteTrance Lipstick (teinte : Forbidden Love), 40€
For all fans of matte lipsticks: you have arrived at your destination! Pat McGrath’s Forbidden Love is the ultimate matte red lipstick. Its pigments are simply incredible and it resists all the vagaries of life (mask included).

Sephora – Cream lip stain mat (teinte : Always red), 10,99€
Without a doubt the best red lipstick in terms of value for money! Its creamy texture leaves, after a few moments, an irreproachable mat finish that will not succumb at any time.

Nars – Satin Lip Pencil (teinte : Luxembourg), 29,90€
With its pencil shape, the Saint Lip Pencil is fun, practical and essential! The Luxembourg shade offers a seductive red with a satin finish that brings a unique shine to your mouth.

La Bouche Rouge Paris – Rouge Vendôme, à partir de 39€
Concerned about our environment, the French brand is distinguished by its total non-use of plastic. Its refillable case gives way to an intense red with a vegan formulation. Made in France, the Rouge Vendôme will not leave you indifferent, both for its commitment and its flawless execution.
