Best Lipstick of 2025

“I adore this Clinique black honey lipstick! It’s a blend of lipstick and gloss, perfect for almost anyone. The moisturizing, smooth, and creamy texture makes it a great choice. I got it on sale for my daughter and we both look fabulous in it!”

“This lip balm is a game changer for me! The tint is more pronounced than typical balms, and it looks unique on every skin tone. I initially bought a trial size and loved it so much that I got the full size. My only downside is that it requires reapplication, but I still highly recommend it!”

“I really enjoy this lip color! It’s versatile and can be used alone or layered for more intensity. It ranks among my best lip colors. Absolutely nothing to dislike about it; it works magnificently with various lip products!”

"I've been using Clinique lipsticks for years, and I find them to be moisturizing and non-sticky. They last a long time on my lips, with no complaints about the color longevity. I recently found a perfect nude shade for my fair complexion."

"I absolutely love Clinique products! This lipstick is moist and easy to apply, plus it lasts throughout the day."

"This lipstick has a smooth application and wears well, but it didn't meet my expectations for being long-lasting. I was a bit disappointed when it transferred to my cup."

"I'm really hooked on this lipstick! It's incredibly long-wearing and feels gentle on my lips. Unlike other long-wear lipsticks I've tried, this one doesn’t dry out my lips. It has a beautiful matte sheen and a nice vanilla scent. I find it easy to remove with oil or makeup wipes, and while it can be a bit sticky, I can layer on my Mac lipglass to fix that. Depending on what I eat, I might need to touch up, but honestly, that’s no hassle for me!"

"I think this lipstick is pretty good. I got the shade “mover,” which is darker than I expected. If you want it to last, you need to apply a thicker layer. While I don’t get the full 16 hours of wear, it still lasts longer than most lipsticks I’ve used. The matte finish can be a bit drying, but adding gloss looks great, though it slightly reduces stay power."

"This lipstick is long-lasting and has a beautiful color. I work in retail and wear it all day while talking and eating, and I hardly ever need to reapply. Customers compliment me all the time; it’s become my signature look. I’ve been using it since 2019 and even have it on subscription. It lasts me about two months with daily use!"

“I absolutely love this product! Long wear is no joke. I applied it around 3:30 PM and only needed to retouch my bottom lip, where I tend to lick my lips. The color did not budge at all! The shade Royal is a stunning deep red that feels both classic and modern. The only downside is that it made my lips a bit dry as the night went on, but I easily fixed it with a wet napkin without losing any color! I'm thrilled and plan to buy more shades from this line!”

“I was looking for a lipstick that wouldn’t fade or dry out during the day, and I found it! I've tried matte colors before, but they dried my lips out insanely. This one stays shiny for hours and only needed a reapplication once. It does get a bit caked up if I just apply on top of the old layers, but it looks better if I fully remove it first. I was shocked at how little it transferred, especially since it’s shiny.”

“This lipstick is amazing! It glides on effortlessly and has vibrant colors. It stays on for hours, even after eating, with minimal touch-up needed. I love that I don’t need lip liner because it doesn’t smudge or bleed. However, after a while, some shades lose their original color and can appear a bit sheer. My lips feel a little dry after long wear, but a quick dab of tissue or a reapplication does the trick. For the price, this is a fantastic option!”

"I find Wet n Wild's Silk Finish Lipsticks to be great for my lips. They offer hydrating lip colors that last for hours without smudging or transferring to my teeth. The color options are stunning, and I prefer them over pricier brands, as they deliver the same quality for a fraction of the price."

"I purchased the mink brown shade, and while it's slightly lighter and a tad redder than the picture, it still looks good on my medium-toned Korean skin. The texture feels like chapstick at first, transitioning to a more satin matte finish. It might not be the best choice for the very darkest skin tones, but overall, it's a great deal at just over a dollar!"

"This lipstick is an excellent option for anyone seeking a smooth and hydrating lip color. The rich, buildable color is impressive, and it glides on effortlessly. I appreciate that it keeps my lips feeling moisturized all day, though I do need to reapply every few hours. For the price, it’s a fantastic lipstick offering comfort and vibrant color!"

"I've tried hundreds of lipsticks, but I always return to this brand. It goes on smooth and keeps my lips soft. The staying power is impressive, even after drinking. Great quality and price!"

"Revlon's Lustrous is one of my staples. This plum shade is stunning—it may look dark at first, but it gives a rosy, natural glow when applied. Lustrous truly describes how my lips appear!"

"Being 70, I've used Revlon for years. Their lipsticks are creamy and smooth, and this Flushed color is delightful. However, I received two broken ones, which was disappointing, but I'm still careful with them."

“I’m a casual lipstick user and I love these! They are creamy, moisturizing, and comfortable—like a balm. My favorite shade, Mad for Mauve, perfectly complements my pale, cool-toned skin and has become my go-to. Clothes Off is great too, with just a slight warmth. At $1.30, these are a steal and would be a lovely addition to anyone's collection.”

“I ordered this lipstick hoping to find something similar to the Pat McGrath shade I loved, and I was pleasantly surprised. The creamy, slightly opaque nude in a mauve tone is perfect for my needs. It’s not too shiny or matte, just a lovely balance. For under $2.00, I’m very happy and plan to get another for my daughter.”

“I recently tried the wet n wild Mega Last High-Shine Lipstick and I'm really enjoying it! The color payoff is fantastic and it glides on without feeling heavy. Infused with oils, my lips stay nourished and hydrated throughout the day. The glossy finish adds a nice pop without being sticky. Overall, this lipstick is a wonderful addition to my beauty routine!”

"After reading numerous reviews, I decided to try L'Oreal lipstick. The colors are true to the examples and it applies smoothly. Light texture without stickiness, and it lasted most of the day for me."

"I absolutely love this lipstick! The color is stunning and it keeps my lips hydrated. With a reasonable price, it's definitely a great value."

"I watched a tutorial where this lipstick was used, and I was so impressed that I ordered it right away. It's now my go-to lipstick because it's beautiful, feminine, and feels great on my lips!"

"I really enjoy the smooth application of this lipstick. It feels almost like chapstick and the color is spot on with good pigment. I'm definitely considering trying other shades!"

"After seeing someone use this on Instagram, I took a chance and ordered it. I was thrilled to find that ColorIt is simply perfect! The shade 450 Romantic Rose is my all-time favorite pink and it stays on without bleeding!"

"I appreciate Maybelline's quality and often order online since local stores don't always carry my favorites. This time, I received a great product, but unfortunately, the shade was not right for me. I’ll be passing it along to someone else."

"I've been using Wet n Wild lipsticks for years. They last long and are affordable. I definitely suggest applying lip gloss or chapstick first, as it can appear dry without it."

"I normally don't wear bright lipstick, but I wanted to try a new color. My daughter and I absolutely loved the black cherry shade, and it suited both of our skin tones well. However, it broke right after one use, which was disappointing."

"For the price, this lipstick is incredible. Very pigmented and smooth application. Just a heads up, the color I ordered was not what I expected—it turned out to be a bright red instead of the burgundy I wanted."
