Lipstick lovers know all about the power of color and how it expresses both mood and personal style. A swipe of red on your lips is a powerful and bold statement of confidence, while a layer of pink softens your look for a more youthful appearance. Berries and plums accentuate the creaminess of your skin tone—whether ivory or caramel—and hint at the sultry sophisticate inside, while nudes and browns add a natural polish to your everyday no-makeup look. And as for oranges and corals, these new kids on the lip color block will bring you a warm, fun, and fresh take on old fiery faves for an instant update!
Scroll down and check out our list of 20 luscious lippies that enhance, protect, and nourish lips. We’ve even grouped them according to color so you can see the newest bunch in your fave shade or experiment with a new hue for a whole new you! After all, a girl can never have too many lipsticks.
