Coco Chanel once said, “When you’re sad, add more lipstick and attack,” and for decades we’ve followed suit. Red lipstick is undoubtedly the most powerful tool in one’s vanity kit with an innate ability to transform one's look instantly. This can also be credited to the fact that there is a red for every skin tone, outfit, and even one’s mood.
