The Best Lipsticks To Buy In 2023

01

Byredo

Lipstick, £40

Best Luxury Lipstick
Exquisitely presented (who wouldn’t want one of these little luxuries stashed in their clutches?) and rich in colour, Byredo’s lipsticks are, undoubtedly, made for those who are no strangers to a bold statement. The standout shades? Subtropical is a grown-up coral, Divorce is a brilliant red and Reunion is a brown orange that will suit a vast range of skin tones.

Charlotte Tilbury

Matte Revolution Lipstick, £15

Best Lipstick For Fair & Medium Skin Tones
Let’s face it – Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Lipstick doesn’t need much of an introduction. We not only love the ultra-comfortable matte formula and cashmere-soft finish, but also can’t get enough of the vast range of wearable shades. A special shoutout must go to the shade of all shades, Pillow Talk – considered by many to be the best pink nude lipstick, it now also comes in Medium to ensure even more inclusivity.

Modern Matte Lipstick, £21

Best Budget Lipstick
When beauty influencer Jamie Genevieve launched her makeup line, VIEVE in 2020, we were instantly drawn to the brand’s lipsticks. Enriched with a nourishing dose of vitamin E, these lipsticks deliver an equal burst of moisture and colour. In line with Jamie’s signature look, these are some of the best nude lipsticks out there – but if you’re a fan of colour, you’ll likely fall for the berry red Lara. We also love how the brand encourages the wearer to mix and just match its lipsticks and lip liners (try Lara with Rouge Rouge – it’s the best lip liner and lipstick combo).

They’ve become an iconic makeup staple for many thanks to the incredible colour payoff, staying power and fuller-lip effect. And with such a huge variety of shades available – for a universally flattering dusty rose, try Dazed – the hardest part is picking just one...
