I think many people are on a mission to find the best red lipstick in existence—but throughout my career as a beauty editor, I have been really committed to this mission. Red is, after all, one of the most versatile and iconic lipstick colours. There is barely a red lipstick out there that I haven't tried, and while I have some favourites, it has taken me up until now to find what I deem to be the ultimate red lipstick—and it's Les Filles En Rouje Le Rouge Jeanne.
To me, the ultimate red is one that doesn't slide around but isn't too drying, one that is easy to apply without being messy, one that can brighten your smile, and, most importantly, one that works with any outfit and any occasion. The perfect red lipstick is, in my opinion, something that embodies that iconic French-girl beauty look—effortless glamour. So, it makes sense that the best red lipstick I have ever tried comes courtesy of one of the most iconic French girls around, Jeanne Damas.
