My Top 3 Lipstick Brands

Beauty is one of the many topics I like sharing on the blog and today I wanted to share my top lipstick brands. I went through a phase where all I did was purchase lipstick products. I have a lot that I don’t use…sadly! The type of lipsticks I wear vary from matte, to glossy, to semi-matte. I haven’t really found a preference, but all I know is that no matter what lipstick I wear I still dislike wearing it while I eat. For example, if I am eating a burger my lipstick just gets all over my face.

There are so many brands out there that have really great lipsticks and their quality is really good. I wanted to share with you some of my top three brands that I feel are not only affordable, but also really good. I have purchased from these brands for far too long and only been disappointed very few times (like once or twice). Some of my top brands for lipsticks are also high end brands, but I figured I would share those with you on another post.

So what exactly am I looking for when I purchase a lipstick? That can be a very simple answer like the color. However, I also look for the consistency and how it applies on my lips. If the product is matte and is a lipstick and not a liquid lipstick, chances are it will be a little difficult to apply on the lips. Personally, I don’t like that. If I am looking for a matte lipstick I go for a liquid lipstick, they are just way easier to apply. I also love glossy lipsticks for an everyday look.

NYX – Fortune Cookie

NYX
When I first started purchasing lipsticks I went with NYX. I just read so many great reviews and figured they would be perfect to start with. They have a great variety of lipsticks from matte, to gloss, to suede, and even liquid lipsticks. I personally, love their Butter Gloss Lipsticks that are only $5, talk about a steal! I have so many colors, and I love that I can pair it with other lipsticks to have the glossy finish. I do run out of these like crazy, but I love how convenient NYX is that many stores carry them.

MILANI – Teddy Bare

MILANI

This is probably my favorite go-to lipstick that I own. You can tell from the picture I use it often. The name of the exact lipstick on the picture is called Teddy Bare and you can find it on MILANI’s website, here. The reason I love this brand is not only because they have great colors, but because of their consistency. These color statement lipsticks, are very nourishing on the lips, yet stay a long time on as well. I usually pick this lipstick up when I am heading out for a late night because I know it won’t rub off or be worried on how dry my lips are getting. MILANI is also affordable and this lipstick is only $6.

COLOURPOP – Dopey

COLOURPOP
Lipsticks from ColourPop Cosmetics are very pigmented and my favorite matte lipsticks from them are their Ultra Matte Lipsticks. They are very matte and can sometimes get dry if you don’t add any lip balm before, but that’s the purpose of matte lipsticks. They have a huge collection that range from Ultra Satin, to Ultra Matte, and even Ultra Glossy. I like all of them, but prefer the Ultra Satin and Ultra Matte Lipsticks. They also have a ton of colors to choose from, and they sometimes bundle a couple of them and sell them at a lower price. You end up getting more for a lower price.

If you have any recommendations of other brands that you recommend please leave a comment down below. I would love to try new brands as well!
