Nars Powermatte Liquid Lipstick
I own this lipstick and can attest to the fact that is indestructible. It’s bold and bright, catching the eye immediately, and doesn’t fade easily with any pesky meal or drink situations. Photo: NARS Cosmetics

Fenty Madamn
Bold and highly pigmented with each swipe, Madamn packs a lot of punch in one skinny little tube. Beware though if you have dry lips—you might need to moisturize beforehand. Photo: Fenty Beauty

3CE Red Recipe Matte Lip
When 3CE dropped a line of red lipsticks, nail polish, and blushes, Ruby Tuesday was a gem in the collection. It has a slight sheen to it, adding a surprising element to the deep ruby tone. Photo: Stylenanda

Rouge Dior Lipstick:999
When Christian Dior adorned his models in a bright red for his 1953 fashion show, he called it a classic. 999 plays homage to this, bringing a little fashion/beauty history into your makeup drawer in four different finishes: satin, velvet, matte, and metallic. Photo: Dior
