Welcome to Hype Machine, our hit-list of the top reviewed products across the web — according to a crowd of die-hard shoppers. Call this your 4-star & up only club, with entry granted by our devoted-to-the-goods shop editors.

Red lipstick is the classic of all classic beauty looks, and it also happens to be accessible at every price point. While a bold lip might not be your vibe if you're wearing a face mask, there are still plenty of occasions to rock one this season: Work meetings, Zoom holiday parties, or my personal favorite, just for fun if you're staying at home with no plans at all.

We combed the internet for the most beloved red lipsticks with real-person reviews to back them up. From velvety matte to mirror-like gloss, you'll find every finish and texture to live out your red lip fantasy for under $15, ahead.

Maybelline SuperStay Matte Ink Lip Color

The Hype: 4.4 out of 5 stars and 5,038 reviews on Ulta Beauty

Red Lip Stans Say: "This is SUCH a good find. I have tried on probably 20 different liquid lipsticks ranging from $9-35, and THIS is the one I didn't return. I'm talking KVD, Anastasia, Too Faced, Mac… Don't get me wrong, they were all great in their own ways, but always had something missing (either smudged or didn't last or couldn't find my shade). These LAST through eating, drinking, and wearing masks!" — TyTy, Ulta Beauty Reviewer
