We’ve found a selection of statement red Lipsticks which are vegan friendly
I love wearing lipstick and it’s something that I’ve always included in my makeup routine, I can’t leave the house without a bit of lippie on as it gives me that dressed up feel. I personally love the minimal makeup look which doesn’t take up too much time in the morning. My routine consists of foundation that is easy to apply and gives good coverage along with my statement black eyeliner finished with a lipstick to add a pop of colour. I have a makeup bag with a range of different coloured lipsticks from pinks, corals to more subtle nudes. I find that a good colour lip can instantly transform and complete your look, to give you that added oomph and confidence to tackle the day ahead.

Red lipstick is a classic colour which will never look out dated and is a must have staple. I’ve looked into how red lipsticks are made…..the pigment is made from Cochineal bugs which live on Cacti. The actual colour red is known as Carmine Red and comes from boiling the insect bodies in chemicals such as ammonia or sodium carbonate solution. This red dye has been used for centuries in textiles and cosmetics as it produces a vivid and rich red dye. There is a focus more than ever to look at the ingredients in the products that we use and to question is it good for the environment and for ourselves. I’ve had a look to see which brands offer a vegan and cruelty free option of red lipsticks.

BarePro Longwear Lipstick
This is a long wear and Vegan lipstick by Bare Minerals in ‘Cherry’ a vibrant warm red colour. It has a soft matte finish with nourishing minerals to hydrate and condition your lips with up to 8-hour wear. It is a waterproof, smudge proof and kiss proof lipstick, good to know that it's mask friendly as noted on the website. I’m a big fan of Bare minerals and have used their products for years. I love how they create clean and cruelty free products and are the original mineral makeup brand.

Los Angeles Vegan lipstick
'Los Angeles' by Lush is a take on the Hollywood red lipstick, it is 100% vegan and consists of a range of natural ingredients such as organic castor oil and organic Jojoba oil. This refillable lipstick is long wearing and leaves your lips moisturised and nourished. It consists of cruelty free pigments which gives a striking colour. I love how the lipsticks come as refills where you can buy the refillable lipstick case separately which is plastic free and eco-friendly – there is a link on the website that directs you to a video on how to use the refills.
