Red lipstick__ is practically a cultural beauty product for us Latinas. We grew up seeing our abuelas (even bisabuelas) and mamás swiping on a bright, red lipstick whenever they needed a quick pick-me-up. The truth is, a red pout can make almost any chica look instantly confident and well put together–despite her skin tone. Plus, you don't have to spend the big bucks to find a good one. Here's a round up of a few of my favorite red lipsticks–all for under $10!
