The most common way to do this is something along these lines:

ul {
  list-style: none;
  padding: 0;
  margin: 0;
}

li {
  padding-left: 1em; 
  text-indent: -.7em;
}

li::before {
  content: "• ";
  color: red; /* or whatever color you prefer */
}
<ul>
  <li>Foo</li>
  <li>Bar</li>
  <li>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.
