Re: Best Lip Stick

@Anonymous  Each time I answer this question for someone, my list changes a bit. 😄 I'll try to tag the products Sephora carries. 

 

Lipstick (bullet or crayon/stick) 

 
Do you have a finish preference? (Matte, demi-matte, cream/satin, metallic/frost, sheer?) Hmm... I’ll just list a variety of my favorite lipstick lines from a few brands, in no particular order. 
 
  • Pat McGrath Labs - MatteTrance, BlitzTrance, and (if you can still find any) LuxeTrance 
  • NARS - Audacious 
  • Origins - Blooming Bold 
  • Uoma Beauty - Badass Icon 
  • MAC - anything but their Retro Matte bullets (too drying on my lips, but some folks love ‘em) 
  • ColourPop - Lux in either Creme or Matte finish; I’m not crazy about the blur finish, but that’s just me 
  • Guerlain - Rouge G, KissKiss cream finish 
  • Lisa Eldridge - True Velvet 
  • Gucci - Rouge a Levres in either Matte, Satin, or Metallic finish 
  • FentyMattemoiselle (if you can still find any), Slip Shine 
  • Bobbi Brown - Luxe Lipstick (cream finish) 
  • Sephora Lipstories - any of the cream or matte finishes 

    Honorable mention: Lancome just reformulated their L’Absolu Rouge line. I love various shades of the old version, and I just got 2 shades of the new version to test. 
 
Gloss 
 
  • Lancome - L’Absolu Lacquer (I suspect these will be discontinued since the shade range has dramatically decreased; too bad, because they’re THE BEST opaque longwear glosses ever) 
  • Lisa Eldridge - Gloss Embrace 
  • Fenty - Gloss Bomb in either Universal or Cream finish 
  • Pat McGrath Labs - Lust Lip Gloss 
  • NARS - Triple X (still my favorite clear gloss by anyone; NARS recently launched an Afterglow line of glosses that includes a new version of Triple X, but I haven't tried it yet) 
 
Balm - tinted  
 
  • Pat McGrath Labs - Lip Fetish bullet in either the original or Divinyl finish (everything but the Astral shades are very pigmented on my lips and look more like opaque lipsticks than tinted balms) 
  • Kaja - Heart Melter (technically a gloss stick, but I call it a balm for its very comfy emollient feel) 
 
Balm - clear 
 
  • Aquaphor Ointment - my daily go-to lip moisturizer for day and night 
  • CeraVe Healing Ointment - another good petrolatum-based balm 
  • Vanicream Lip Protectant - the only SPF balm I use anymore 

    Honorable mention: Avene Cold Cream Lip Balm isn’t as moisturizing as a petrolatum-based balm, but it’s good for short term (1-3 hours) use.

For lipsticks, I love the YSL Rouge Pur Couture Satin Lipsticks and Pat McGrath's BlitzTrance lipsticks. 

 

For glosses, the Fenty Gloss Bombs. 

 

For balms/oils, Merit Shade Slick Tinted Lip Oil, Fresh Sugar Advanced Therapy Treatment Lip Balm, Glow Recipe Lip Pop Balms, and Ciate's Burst Hydrating Oils.
