The Red Cosmetica Story
Red Cosmetica was borne out of a simple realisation by its founder that, despite the fact that virtually every woman in the world searches continually for her perfect shade of red lipstick, no-one had ever created a brand dedicated solely to reds.
In 2016 Red Cosmetica entered the world with 15 killer shades of luxury red lipstick and a single-minded mission: to make damn sure every woman, anywhere in the world, can find her perfect red in a heartbeat.
Red Cosmetica lipsticks are named by codes that tell you the skin tone they suit and the finish to make it easy for anyone to find their perfect red in a heartbeat. And for those who are still unsure of their perfect shade we have a unique What’s My Shade service that enables you to email us and have our beauty team send you their recommendation of at least 2 Red Cosmetica shades that will rock your world.
What’s more, Red Cosmetica lipsticks are enriched with Apricot Kernel Oil to moisturise lips, non-comedogenic, hypoallergenic, cruelty-free and come in long-lasting, highly pigmented shades of mattes, creams and glosses.
