A girl can have a hundred tubes of lipstick. We can go through a thousand different colors and formulations.
But there’s always that one tube we repurchase no matter how many alternatives we can have. There’s that one shade that we just can’t seem to find anywhere else. There are certain formulas that only can be captured by a certain brand.
Here are five of those lipsticks that continue to intrigue, inspire, and instigate our lipstick fetish.
Clinique Almost Lipstick in Black Honey
If there’s one cult status lip product from Clinique, it’s this unique formula. Why is it “Almost Lipstick”? Is it a balm? Is it a sheer tint? Either way, it’s dark color in the tube might be intimidating because it doesn’t give away how it’s sheer yet berry-colored finish is the best MLBB even before the acronym came about. The shade has been around since the ’70s
Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Cherries in the Snow
There are a few products that are so popular, they are the items which put an entire label on the beauty map. Revlon’s lipstick that first popped into the scene in the 1940s as a nail polish! When Revlon came out with the concept of matching your lip color with your nail polish did Cherries in the Snow transformed into a lipstick. Since then, Revlon gave birth to iconic images of ladies with red lips.
MAC Whirl Lipstick
If you’re looking for the perfect nude brown that screams ’90s, this is the one. MAC does have a lot of lipstick shades with its own following, but Whirl is the one which up to now gets sold out in MAC branches.
Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Lipstick in Pillow Talk
Ask any beauty influencer what’s their favorite from Charlotte Tilbury and they’ll most likely say Pillow Talk. The lipstick and the matching lipliner may just be a newcomer in the industry but it’s already part of Vogue’s “10 Cult Classic Lipstick Shades Every Beauty Lover Must Know.”
NARS Semi-Matte Lipstick in Schiap
For a statement pink lip, there’s always this tube named after designer Elsa Schiaparelli. The shade goes with Schiaparelli signature electric fuschia shade and head-turning designs.
