Whether you call it Valentine’s Day, Galentine’s Day, or Singles-Awareness Day, the holiday of hearts and cupid’s arrows is right around the corner! Whatever your plans may be, treat yo’ self to a gorgeous lippie that will knock the socks off of anyone you meet. Bonus: most of these are kiss proof too!
1. Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in Ludwig ($20 at Sephora)
The extra-matte formula in this lipstick is perfect for withstanding a long night of romantic dinners and devouring chocolates!
2. NYX Extra Creamy Round Lipstick in Snow White ($4 at NYX)
For a true, classic cool toned red, NYX has it in the bag. One swipe of this, and you’ll be ready for anything.
3. TONYMOLY Delight Tony Tint in Cha Cha ($6 at UrbanOutfitters)
Swap your typical lipstick for a beautifully natural-looking stain. This one by Tonymoly has a delicious candy apple scent!
4. NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Cruella ($27 at Sephora)
This creamy red lip crayon is the closest thing I’ve ever found to Taylor Swift’s signature red–true story.
5. Maybelline Color Sensational Vivid Matte Liquid Lip Color in Nude Thrill ($7.99 at Ulta)
For those who love everything nude, this matte but moisturizing lippie is perfect for that “your lips but better” look.
6. IT Cosmetics Vitality Lip Flush 4-in-1 Reviver Lipstick Stain in Je Ne Sais Quoi ($20 at Ulta)
Is it a balm? Is it a stain? Why not both? This super soft formula adapts to the chemistry of your lips to prevent chapping and create a gorgeously subtle berry pout.
7. Liquid Suede Cream Lipstick in Pink Lust ($7 at NYX)
And last but not least, the Barbie pink to end all pinks–rock this anywhere, everywhere, all the time.
Happy V-Day, loves!
