Clinique Almost Lipstick in Black Honey, Pink Honey and Nude Honey
Why it made the list
The thing I love about the Almost Lipstick line is how sheer it is. Your natural lip color peeks through and it adapts to your undertone, so it genuinely looks a little different on everyone. It's more like a moisturizing balm than a full lipstick, with just a hint of shimmer and color. Black Honey is the one everyone loses their mind over, and it's my go-to even on a no makeup makeup day (it morphs to whatever I need it to be). There's also Pink Honey, a lighter take, and Nude Honey. Worth trying if you're tired of products that look great on someone else but not on you.
【Opening Promo !】TIMEPHORIA Nebula Velvet Lip Cream 4ML - Luxurious Velvet Lipstick Lip Tint Lip Gloss Soft Blurring 12 Hours Comfort Longwear Makeup Cosmetic Blend Glossy Daily Compact
Why it made the list
If you want a deep, dark matte lip that actually stays put, this is the one I keep reaching for. It's a non-transferring liquid lip from Timephoria, and I put three layers on and kissed the back of my hand for a solid 30 minutes with nothing coming off. I've done matte lips for years and always dealt with a little transfer, so this really impressed me. You might see the tiniest crumbs from the inside of your lips here and there, but it wears beautifully. The shade I have on is Twilight, and it's worth trying if you love a bold, long-lasting look.
Laura Geller Jelly Balm Lipstick
Why it made the list
The Jelly Balm is my favorite lipstick formula, mine is the shade In the Buff. It's not a matte, drying, long-wear situation, it's a hydrating, thin, comfortable formula that feels like it's caring for your lips while you wear it. Such a pretty everyday wash of color. If you like a lippie that feels good, this one is lovely.
EADEM Le Chouchou Lip Softening Balm Intensive + Comfort for dry lips Glossy Smooth Vegan Gentle
Why it made the list
I have to be honest, this little balm has kind of ruined me because I'm ordering it on repeat. Before this I really thought all lip treatments were the same, but this is the first one that actually softened my lips the way I'd been searching for. I used to deal with flaking, peeling, and cracks, especially in winter, and this has truly transformed them. It looks like a gloss but works like a treatment underneath. I'm wearing fig sauce, and there are lots of other shades to try. Worth it if your lips need real softening, not just shine.
