Best Matte Red Liquid Lipstick ~ Stila Beso VS Kat Von D 'Outlaw' and 'Underage Red'

Now I've started an obsession with finding the best matte red liquid lipstick ever since I saw reviews for the Lime Crime Velvetine in "Red Velvet". I thought it was the only one like it of its kind. Nope.

I then found out about Stila's Stay All Day in Beso after comparing the two swatches together. Beso looks like fresh red blood compared to the more darker red of Red Velvet.

After more research, my obsession with Kat von D's products came into line. The Everlasting liquid lipsticks. This made it more even complicated, though, because there are 2 reds. Yup. Outlaw and Underage Red. Both look almost the same in the bottle and especially when swatched! I still could not decide which to get.

Here are the swatches:


Don't they look all the same?


My favorite would be 'Underage Red'. I like it because it looks bright and has better staying power than Stila's Stay All Day. I was quite disappointed when I rubbed over Beso because it smudged. I thought it would stay put, hence the name for it. Kat von D's liquid lipsticks did not smudge or budge when I rubbed them with my finger, nor did water affect either of them, which I was glad about.

Overall, I would pick Kat von D's Everlasting lipstick over Stila's Stay All Day. Which red or shade is best for you? I guess it depends on what suits your eyes! :) Hope you enjoyed my post & helped you decide which lipstick to get.
