THE BEST SATIN FINISH LIPSTICK
Lancôme L’Absolu Rouge Ruby Cream Lipstick ($32) credits rose flower extracts and natural sesame oils for its silky, covers-in-one-stroke color that leaves lips cushioned with moisture.
THE BEST MATTE LIPSTICK
Velvety-soft Dior Rouge Dior Ultra Care Liquid Matte ($38) packs amazingly rich pigment, yet somehow manages to feel completely weightless and not the least bit dry.
THE BEST LIP GLOSS
A nonsticky, oil-meets-gloss hybrid, KOSAS Wet Lip Oil Gloss ($27) hydrates with hyaluronic acid and avocado oil, plumps with peptides and wears comfortably with a slick, high-shine finish.
THE BEST SEMI-MATTE LIPSTICK
Using advanced shade-matching science, the 28 neutral Clinique Even Better Pop Lip Colour Foundations ($19.50) were formulated to flatter every skin tone and undertone.
THE BEST LIP STAIN
High-impact and low-maintenance Bite Beauty Outburst Longwear Lip Stain ($24) takes long-lasting, bold color to the next level with three fun, vibrant shades.
THE BEST LIP LINER
We love Thrive Causemetics Lip Filler Long Wearing + Plumping Lip Liner’s ($20) easy-glide, no-budge formula, but we love the brand’s mission to support women even more.
