This Is the Perfect Red Lip Color, According to Reese Witherspoon’s Makeup Artist

While we love the rose gold lipstick trend and already have our favorite signature shade for everyday wear, we still love the bold look of a classic red lip. Finding the perfect shade of red lipstick is much easier said than done but, fortunately, we can now end our search.

Reese Witherspoon’s makeup artist Molly R. Stern, who works with a catalogue of celebrity clients, shared with Byrdie her five must-have beauty items she keeps in both her pro makeup kit and personal collection. Among them is the perfect shade of red lipstick that she thinks every woman should own. According to Stern, the red lipstick every woman should own is 

Elizabeth Arden Beautiful Color Moisturizing Lipstick in Power Red ($25; ). The shade is not too orange or pink, and comes in a beautiful, gold tube. To apply, start in the middle of your lip and spread to the corners. Make sure to fill in all angles for the best results for all-day wear.

Get ready for the perfect shade just in time for the busy holiday season. Add a bold red lip color to complete your festive look and make a stylish statement.
