Taylor Swift has a well-known fondness for red lipstick but according to recent reports she has only just cottoned on to the holy grail of reds.
“I recently discovered Ruby Woo by Mac, which I think everyone knows,” the singer said during a recent beauty interrogation. “It’s a staple. I was the last person to discover it.”
So what other secret fantastic reds are out there that everyone else seems to know about but you might not?

Tom Ford in Cherry Lush
Lush, creamy and it smells divine. Possibly a bit like we imagine Mr Ford himself might be like in real life. Brilliant colour payoff, luminous, long-lasting and encased in that beautiful black-and-gold case, this one is worth the splurge.
Rimmel Apocolips in Big Bang
Intense, rich colour that bats well above its price point to provide saturated shine in a confidence-boosting shade. We think Swifty would love this one.
Bobbi Brown Creamy Matte in Red Carpet
A beautiful matte red that contains emollients to enable it to last up to eight hours without drying your lips or smearing itself all over your coffee cup.
