National Lipstick Day: My Favorites!
Happy National Lipstick Day! This holiday is one that really speaks to me. I’ve always been a lipstick gal and love playing with bold, bright colors. I’ve been lucky enough to try a lot of different beauty products for free through events and influencer partnerships. I also have a personal love for makeup and am always scouring the beauty isle for new options. With that said, I’ve narrowed down a few favorites that I now own multiple shades of. Wearable formula, long-lasting finish, and great color are three things that are super important to me. These favorites hit the mark on all of those points. Let’s dive into my top picks!
Urban Decay Vice Lipstick
This long-wearing lipstick comes in multiple finishes for your perfect look: Mega Matte, Comfort Matte, Cream, Metallized, Sheer, and Sheer Shimmer. There are also a ton of colors to choose from within each finish, it’s impossible not to find a favorite.
Shades I Own: Hitch Hike (Comfort Matte) // Firebird (Cream) // Rock Steady (Cream) // Rapture (Cream)
Maybelline New York Super Stay Ink Crayon
These crayons are SO easy to apply! The color payoff is incredible and the matte finish is not drying. This lipstick boasts 8-hour wear and I would say that’s definitely possible, though I typically reapply after eating just in case. Secret tip: The crayons come with a sharpener built into the end!
Shades I Own: Lead the Way (15) // Seek Adventure (30) // Treat Yourself (35) // Own Your Empire (50) // Accept a Dare (60) // Settle for More (65)
Sephora Collection #LIPSTORIES Lipstick
What’s not to love about this lipstick?! It’s $9 (on sale for 50% today, making them only $4.50), comes in multiple finishes and over 40 shades, and gives amazing color in one swipe. These are a must-have.
Shades I Own: Oui! (3 – Cream) // Popsicle Lips (28 – Cream) // Golden Gate (31 – Matte)
Tarte Color Splash Lipstick
This vegan lipstick is comfortable + smooth and delivers amazing pigment. The packaging is also stunning, it makes me want to buy them all!
Shades I Own: Salt Lyfe (Mauve Gray) // Cha-Cha (Watermelon) // Popsicle (Bright Fuchsia – Limited Edition)
Sephora Collection Rouge Lacquer Lipstick
If you’re looking for a super high-shine lipstick, this is it. With a silky, balm-like texture, these lipsticks provide amazing color that keeps your lips hydrated all day long. Plus, at $14, they’re super affordable!
Shades I Own: Rise Above (17 – Mauve) // Empowered (04 – Dark Red)
Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick
A drugstore classic, Revlon delivers creamy, vibrant color with this range of lipsticks. I love the reds within this range for the perfect pairing with a smoky look for date night!
Shades I Own: Bare Affair (044 – Creme) // Fire & Ice (720 – Creme) // Cherries in The Snow (440 – Creme) // Certainly Red (740 – Creme)
YSL Beauty Rouge Pur Couture Lipstick
If you want luxury in a lipstick, look no further. At $38 a pop, these beauties aren’t cheap, but they are definitely a worthy “treat yourself” moment. Gorgeous gold packaging, bold color, and even a delicious scent to go along with it. I love this lipstick for when I’m feeling fancy!
