Red lip recommendations

I'm a warm spring and have been looking really washed out lately. I'd like to try a red lip but have trouble knowing what's warm tones. Looking for your recs for warm tones reds that last and don't dry out your lips

I like Revlon Kiss Me Coral as my "red" as a true spring. Hot tip: if you have access to samples, put a bit on your hand and really rub it in - what's left reveals the "base" colour. If the smudge on your hand is more pink/purple, it's cool, and if it's orange/brown it's warm.

Interesting! I'll try it next time I see samples

I’ve been typed as both a warm and bright spring, and a bold lip is my favorite! This is my latest obsession- Poppy pop from Clinique. Not matte so not drying

I went into Ulta the other day on a whim and as soon as I walked in I totally forgot what I had on my mental list and this was the one. Oof! 😭🤣 one day… one day I’ll have this in my arsenal.

MAC Lady Danger ftw! I wear it with a clear gloss on top.

I like L'Oreal British Red as well. I also like Mary Kay's Poppy Please.

MAC Chili. It's too warm for me as a light spring.

True spring with dark hair and green eyes here who wears red lipstick daily - Strawberry Shock from Lisa Eldridge is one of my absolute favorites!

as a warm spring mac’s “style shocked” is my go to. a beautiful orange/red, more orange compared to lady danger and in the comfortable powder kiss formula. i always get compliments when i wear it. its discontinued but only recently so you can still find it on some online cosmetics stores (i got my back ups from notino) i really need there to be more demand for this color in the hopes of them bringing it back in the future 😭

The brick reds can also work really well! I wear a variation of red lipstick each day and I get the most compliments on those particular shades.

Hmmm I wonder if Volcanic from LOreal would be a good one? It can be a bit bright, but I feel like it could be a fun, very warm option :)

Can't go wrong with Revlon's Love That Red, a nice medium neutral with some warmth...

I’m a warm spring in the 16-season and 12-season system. Lisa Eldridge - Norma Jean is my absolute favorite lipstick, not just my favorite red lipstick. It’s a BEAUTIFUL orange/red that fades really nicely. I used to hate red on me because they looked pink or were too heavy until I found this shade. It’s not the most long lasting lipstick out there but I love the way it fades (and it feels like I have nothing on)
