8 Lipsticks to Shop for National Lipstick Day
Bold and natural lip lovers rejoice. Here, L'OFFICIEL rounds up the best lipsticks to shop for National Lipstick Day.
Even the most minimal makeup-wearers admit to having at least one go-to lipstick lying around. And let's be honest, it's hard not to. A good lipstick is one of those makeup staples with transformative powers—a quick swipe elevates even the simplest of looks. But finding the right shade can be overwhelming.
Yet the daunting task of color matching can be boiled down to skin tone. Those with warm skin tones should look for warm-hued shades like peach, rose, and orange. While the opposite bodes for cooler skin tones— the most flattering shades being plum, cherry, crimson, and mauve. And there's no better time than National Lipstick Day to find a new shade. Here, L'OFFICIEL rounds up the best lipsticks the beauty world has to offer.
