There are some questions that keep me up until the early hours of the morning. The one that seems to be recurring recently is, wondering how many lipsticks there are in existence. It’s impossible to even think of a realistic number. There are matte lipsticks, creamy lipsticks, satin ones, liquid, sheer. The list goes on. Not to mention that every brand will have up to 50 colours in each of these categories sometimes. That’s a whole lot of lipsticks.
So, this leads us to our second question. Where does one even begin with choosing a lipstick? A shortcut to finding your next lipstick is by looking to the most popular ones. These are the best-sellers, the beauty icons and the classics. The ones that if you look at most lipstick-wearers lips and wonder what they’re wearing; it’s probably in this list.
As much fun as it is to experiment and swatch lipsticks on the back of your hand until it looks like an artist’s canvas or at least a child’s version of one, that’s way too much legwork.
I know you don’t have that kind of time on your hands and neither do I, but I do know about lipsticks. I decided to dive into my extensive lipstick collection and also try out some others, to see if some of the most popular lipsticks around are actually worth the hype. Keep scrolling to see which ones have made the cut.
