I've Tried Over 1000 Lipsticks, and These 14 Are the Best
| AUG 9, 2018 I've Tried Over 1000 Lipsticks, and These 14 Are the Best by AMANDA MONTELL Eyeliner is cool, as is mascara, but no makeup product holds my heart like lipstick. When I only have two minutes to get ready in the morning, a bright lip is the first thing I grab. When I'm in a crummy mood, a vibrant pink or red color turns that right around. And on those weird days when my face looks tired or just off somehow, lipstick is my saving grace. Over the years, I've tried hundreds of lipsticks, maybe even over 1000, and I currently own at least 100 (thank goodness lipstick tubes are small!). But truth be told, there are only a few select gems in my daily rotation. That's because I have a pretty particular taste in lipstick: I love ranges that offer both really vibrant brights and subtle everyday shades. I like a creamy, plumping texture—nothing so matte that it's going to dry out my lips. And I like silky application and long staying power. Out of all the lipsticks I've tried, I've narrowed it down to the top 14, ranging in price from $5 to $55, that meet these requirements. Curious to know this lipstick fiend's favorites? Just keep scrolling. 1/18  These bright, crazy-pigmented shades are what I've found myself reaching for all summer. (Tough Tomato and Arancia Adore are my personal favorites.) I layer the demi-matte formula over a thin layer of balm for a vibrant look that'll last for hours without feeling dry. Also, a moment of silence for the beautiful clear packaging. 2/18  Sephora Collection low-key always has the most luxury-quality products for the best prices. This glossy lipstick in the shade Stay Together (currently on sale for $7!) is a staple in my collection. The formula is super layerable so you can go sheer or high impact depending on your vibe, it feels like a hydrating lip balm, and it tastes subtly like candy. 3/18  4/18
 Nars's lip crayons are iconic for a reason—the texture is creamy but not drying, offers budge-free color payoff for days, and the thick crayon shape makes applying the color easy. SOURCE:https://www.byrdie.com/best-lipsticks-of-all-time/slide3 |
