Red lipstick is a timeless staple, whether you’re dressing up for date night, heading to a holiday gathering, or simply adding a touch of elegance to your everyday look. When it comes to matte red lip colors, HydraMatte LipSense offers a stunning range of options that are not only long-lasting but versatile enough for eyes, cheeks, and lips.

Why Red Lipstick is Iconic

Before we dive into the shades SeneGence offers, let’s talk about why red lipstick has stood the test of time. Did you know that red lips have symbolized power and confidence for centuries? They say Cleopatra would crush bugs to create her signature red lip color, and in the 1940s, women wore red lipstick as a morale booster during wartime. Today, red lips continue to be a bold, empowering statement, and the matte finish adds a modern twist! Not to mention, red lip colors with different undertones can enhance your natural features - cool tones brighten the complexion, while warm tones add warmth and glow.🌟

HydraMatte LipSense: A Must-Try Line

HydraMatte LipSense is one of our fastest-growing color lines, with over 22 shades as of December 2024! This long-lasting lip color stays vibrant for up to 6 hours without smudging or the need for touch-ups. If you’re just starting out, narrowing down the perfect red can feel overwhelming. Luckily, HydraMatte makes it easy to blend and customize shades for a look that’s uniquely yours.

Here’s a quick breakdown of some of my favorite HydraMatte red shades:

Blu-Red HydraMatte LipSense

Blu-Red HydraMatte LipSense is a true classic red. If you’re looking for a bold, cool matte red, this one’s for you! It is similar, but not identical, to the Original LipSense shade, I’d say it’s a little cooler on. It also gives a beautiful red blush shade to create a cohesive look.

Melon Mojito HydraMatte LipSense

Opt for Melon Mojito HydraMatte if you prefer a bold red shade with slight coral undertones. As a vibrant coral-red, that leans warm with orange undertones, it’s perfect for summer days or holiday gatherings when you want a pop of color.

Vixen Mini HydraMatte LipSense

Vixen HydraMatte Mini LipSense is a rich, cool-toned red with a matte finish that screams sophistication. This shade was featured in our holiday mini collections and is great to toss in a clutch when out for your holiday parties or on the town! This one would be comparable to Blu-Red, but feels slightly warmer or deeper in tone.

Beautiful Brick HydraMatte LipSense

Beautiful Brick HydraMatte LipSense is a warm, poppy red that adds a cheerful vibe to any look. This one also has a hint of coral undertones to it if you prefer a warmer red. It is a nice terracotta red, if you love Melon Mojito then this shade is a deeper, more subtle, variation of the color.

Rich Ruby HydraMatte LipSense

Ahh who doesn’t love a ruby red!👠 Rich Ruby HydraMatte LipSense is a stunning magenta-red that brings a unique twist to your red lip game. This lip color is the perfect blend of pink and red and stunning for every day!

Vintage Rose HydraMatte LipSense

When most think red lip color they think of a bold, vibrant red, but with everything there are so many options when it comes to the perfect red lip. Vintage Rose HydraMatte LipSense is one of those options with its cherry-rose hybrid color for a softer red with a romantic feel. This one is perfect for wanting a red without screaming red! Plus, as mentioned with other colors, it looks great as a blush too. 😍

Burgundy Plum HydraMatte LipSense

The last red to compare is Burgundy Plum HydraMatte LipSense. This is a deep berry-burgundy for a bold, dramatic look that’s perfect for anyone that loves a touch of berry. This shade just screams date night elegance to me, but I’m all for wearing it during the day too as I can’t resist a bold lip these days. Overall, this is one of my absolute favorite HydraMatte shades and it looks fantastic mixed with other colors in the line. Don’t believe me? I mixed several shades in this blog post.
