If you swear by a good lippie, then you’d probably understand the pains of finding one that has an easy-to-use texture, great colour payoff and moisturising properties to condition your lips.
Let’s start with one of the most popular and well-loved shades of all time – pink. Over the past two years, we’ve seen a comeback in pink lipstick – from rich fuchsias to washed out baby pinks, you can’t deny that this lovely tone will always be in style.
In pursuit of a reliable pink lipstick, here are 7 types that’s worth trying that won’t dry your lips out.
1. Maybelline Pink Alert by Color Sensational in POW1 RM29.90
Maybelline’s Pink Alert range offers a range of shocking pink lipsticks so if you’ve been searching for a brand that caters to your loud lipstick needs, look no further. Its vivid red-based pigments promises a striking colour payoff while nourishing honey nectar gives you a creamy feel and in the process, prevents dry lips. Formulated to suit all skin tones, the more you layer on, the more intense the colour.
2. NYX Extra Creamy Round Lipstick in Narcissus, price unavailable
If ever you’re in Sephora with a tight budget, forget about everything else and head to the NYX counter. NYX has a range of lipsticks that are super affordable (we’re talking less than RM30!) without compromising on style and quality. We recommend the Extra Creamy Round Lipstick for its velvety texture, excellent staying power and smudge resistant formula.
3. Revlon ColorBurst Lacquer Balm in Demure, RM35.90
Revlon’s ColorBurst Crayon Collection is definitely a drugstore godsend! I personally like the Lacquer Balm texture for its high shine and balm-like moisture, making application a breeze. If you want something that isn’t too strong, go for this and treat it like a lip balm.
4. Marc Jacobs Lovemarc Lip Gel in Have We Met, price unavailable
If there’s one beauty brand that you should notice of, Marc Jacobs is definitely it. If I had to sum up Marc Jacobs’ venture into makeup, it’s style meets substance in an array of wearable colours and ingenious packaging. The fun and clever names add to brand’s character too but when it comes to lipstick, the Lovemarc Lip Gel ticks all the right boxes. The gel like texture not only glides on easily, it has an amazing shine that’s rich and bold.
5. Urban Decay Revolution Lipstick in Obsessed, RM75
UD’s Revolution lipsticks are possibly the most long lasting I’ve ever experienced. The colour payoff is great and you only need to touch up once or twice the entire day which is a real winner. This bright baby pink shade is absolutely lovely!
6. NARS Sheer Lipstick in Roman Holiday, RM90
There’s no doubt that NARS made its name from the Orgasm blush but honestly, all of their products are equally amazing. I received this lipstick at the launch last year and I swear by it. Its fresh, citrusy scent is one-of-kind and it moisturises my lips really well.
7. Clinique Butter Shine Lipstick in Pink-A-Boo, RM70
Clinique Butter Shine Lipstick combines the shine of a gloss with the comfort of a lipstick and its rich, creamy texture is little wonder why it’s such a hit. Pink-a-boo is a sheer golden pink that adds a touch of radiance to your entire look.
