Pink Lipsticks of 2023 Are Giving Girl Power The 14 Best Pink Lipsticks of 2023 Are Giving Girl Power

This sunny, coral-colored pink is a bit of a splurge, but the flawless creamy coverage and vivid flattering tones make it worth the extra cash. The semi-gloss finish truly reminds us of a shiny pink gumball. A dark complexion is the perfect match for bright pink lips. For a subtler look, try a bubblegum pink lip gloss. Knowing your skin tone is also important. Fair skin tones look best in bright red-leaning pinks, medium skin tones look good in warm orange-leaning pinks, while dark skin tones should go for bolder fuchsia-pinks. Unfortunately, if you want to maintain the vibrancy of the shade, you’ll have to reapply every few hours, as the moisturizing quality of the formula causes it to fade. That said, it wears off evenly — it leaves behind a pretty stain, so you don’t have to worry about any unflattering lip rings or patchiness. Have fun choosing a strong shade, because the end result will be more natural than you might expect,” he says. “Strategically apply the color by dabbing it on the upper lip and spread it evenly by rubbing your lips together.” Start lightly, then repeat the process if you want more intensity. “The point of this application is to see a wash of sheer color, rather than a stamp of opaque color,” he explains. We love Jones Road Beauty Lip Tint in Raspberry for this.

While we appreciate the flatness of the doe-foot applicator, which makes it easy to spread the formula smoothly across the lip, we do wish that its tip was pointed rather than rounded. This would make it easier to precisely apply the product to the perimeter of our lips without overdoing it or creating an unintentional smudge. An ultra-matte yet creamy bright fuchsia, we love the futuristic bubble-like tube almost as much as we love the wearability of the product. Surprisingly moisturizing, it’s great for winter and offers standout and stay-put results! Kevyn Aucoin This extra-warm flamingo shade has stamina! It lasts and lasts (though it will come off if you kiss), making it a great standout choice for long, hectic days. It’s highly pigmented, paraben-free, and also smells like heaven! MAC Extremely even, lustrous coverage, this might be one of the most flattering formulas we’ve ever tried! The versatility of the neutral pink is yet another reason to love it. Two thumbs way up.

The velvety-powder finish is supremely stylish, but despite the moisturizing ingredients — including squalane and crambe abyssinica seed oil — it does start to feel a bit drying after a few hours of wear. We suggest prepping your pout with an indulgent balm about 30 minutes before applying this one to keep your lips comfortable, soft, and smooth. A fleshy pink with a warm undertone can work for almost anyone—on some it’ll come out bright and bold and on others, it’s more neutral. And Anna’s signature rose scent enhances the floral shade, of course. Shu Uemura While undertones play an important role in finding the best pink, Daoud also recommends basing your decision on your skin tone—especially when it comes to bolder hues. “Deeper skin tones look best with brighter fuchsia shades of pink, while medium skin tones look great with warmer orange-pinks,” she says. “Lighter skin tones look best in brighter reddish pinks." Pay Attention to Pigment Payoff and FinishWhether you’re ready to get swept up in Barbiemania or simply want to add a pop of pink to your everyday beauty look, now’s a great time to paint your pout pretty in pink. Tanned and medium skin tones can experiment with both warm and cool pink tones. For Asian skin, try to avoid pinks veering on the purple side as this shade will wash you out. When most people hear the phrase “statement lip,” their minds tend to go to classic red. We get it: Red is timeless, flatters all skin tones, and can be worn in varieties from sheer to opaque, depending on the look and style you’re trying to nail. But we’d like to make an appeal for another iconic and versatile shade — pink. Because it offers medium coverage with a balmy finish, it wears off easily, so you’ll have to touch up throughout the day to keep up your look. That said, because it’s so easy and fuss-free to apply (as well as hydrating!), you likely won’t mind reapplying. The impossibly even color will light up your face, and the pretty pink makes a statement without overpowering your look. It’s also makes green eyes look even greener. A sure bet! Anna Sui
