10 Cult-Favorite Lipsticks You Should Already Have in Your Collection

Nearly every '90s gal had this vampy oxblood shade stashed in her bag. Now that grunge beauty is making a comeback, so is Black Cherry! The iconic formula is just as creamy as you remember it to be.

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Black Cherry ($8)

Rihanna and Dita Von Teese are just two stars who credit their crimson puckers to this timeless shade. The ultramatte, longwear finish means your application will last for hours — even through a full work day followed by cocktails, dinner, and dessert.

MAC Cosmetics Lipstick in Ruby Woo ($17)

This luxurious lipstick is absolutely worth the expense. The chic black and gold packaging feels decadently heavy in the hand, but the formula is light and creamy on lips. Murumuru butter adds nourishing moisture, so your pucker will look just as plump and gorgeous when you've removed this soft pink shade at the end of the day.

Tom Ford Lipstick in Spanish Pink ($53)

If you're looking for a lipstick so bright, it's like you're staring into the sun, look no further. This screaming hot pink will draw in eyes and compliments every time you wear it. Because the matte formula lasts for hours and hours, you'll find yourself reaching for it often.

Nars Cosmetics Lipstick in Schiap ($28)

Because it's durable, smooth, and richly pigmented, this pinky-peach lipstick is an absolute staple. You definitely can't beat the price!

Wet n Wild MegaLast Lip Color in Bare It All ($2)

This buttery lipstick is infused with 12 nourishing oils and absolutely loaded with longlasting pigment, so you'll likely be hooked after just one swipe. Though all the colors are worth trying, Persimmon (a vibrant orange-red) should be in your stash. It'll liven you up more than three cups of coffee.

Bite Beauty Amuse Bouche Lipstick in Persimmon ($26)

Many women cite this formula as the first lipstick they ever owned and it's easy to see why. The sheer raisin shade flatters nearly all skin tones, while the balmy texture feels ultracomfortable to wear.

Clinique Almost Lipstick in Black Honey ($17)

Creamy, vibrant, and superaffordable, this NYX product is the perfect dusty mauve shade to add to your growing lipstick collection.

NYX Extra Creamy Round Lipstick in Thalia ($4)

This vivid fuchsia shade is silky, not gritty, and disperses luminous microflecks of glitter across your pout that catch the light like a disco ball. Don it as a showstopping statement to an evening gala or rock it to the office — it's that versatile.

Urban Decay Vice Lipstick in Big Bang ($17)

Though this is the most costly lipstick on the list, it's multifunctional. It lays rich color down on the lips in the exact shade of the iconic Louboutin sole. Each tube comes with a velvet pouch for storage and a long ribbon so you can transform the packaging into a pendant. Lipstick that functions as jewelry? Impossibly chic.
