There’s no other makeup item that can transform your look the way lipsticks do. A bold red lip can take you from blah to boom in an instant and make you look chic and sophisticated. Same goes with classic shades that compliment any outfit, and that’s why I have rounded up the 6 lipsticks every woman should have, plus 17 lip-color picks in those shades that will be hot this spring.
From bright hues to softer ones, there’s a shade for every occasion and mood, so stock up on these basic ones!

Thanks for the feedback! We’ll definitely include more natural options in the future!
Are you aware of all the toxins piled up in this list? I find this deceitful.
I agree with Nina. Most of these brands listed I won’t buy because I can’t pronounce the ingredients in it or they have parabens or other junk in it.
Hey, why don’t you include natural brands into this list, like Red Apple Lipsticks? I’m a sucker for bright colors, and they are the only natural lippie company that delivers. Plus, that stuff doesn’t smell, goes on nicely and lasts forever. I don’t know how they do it, but I order from the US to Europe because I haven’t found any other natural lippies quite as good as those. Silk Naturals is a really nice brand too, but their bright colors often contain synthetic dyes, which I avoid. (And I’m not associated with either brand, I just fucking love them and have thrown out all my old lippies for theirs!)
