Best Red Lipstick 2012: The Standout Shades That Made Our List This Year

...according to us.

When it comes to red lipstick, the spectrum of options is endless. And while finding the perfect red for you will admittedly take some field work, there were a few launches of note this year. Some grabbed our attention with their easy application, others with their weighty glamorous tubes, but ultimately color and wearability were the criterion upon which we made our decision. Keeping our focus on crimson shades, we present, in our opinion, the eight best red lipsticks of 2012.
