What are your favourite lipstick brands?

[Thedarklady]

And what makes them so good? Thanks.

I have several Estée Lauder and I love the feel of them on my lips but the one I wear day in is a Sephora own brand lipstick.
It's vibrant and long lasting

I like Lipstick Queen, all the formulations are great. Medieval, Eden and a couple from the Dating Game collection are my favourite colours. They feel so comfortable to wear and always get compliments.

I also like Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution but not many colours suit me and Chanel Rouge Flash, a sheerer formula a bit more like a lip balm texture with some lovely colours.

Mac - it lasts!

I really like Morphe, Rituel Del Filles (sp) NYX and Kat Von D.

Mac but creme, not matte. The matte is too matte for me. ☹️

I like lipstick queen too.

Urban Decay
Very long lasting not drying & a good selection of colours

Estée Lauder, Bobbi Brown, MAC, Tom Ford.

I love the smash box lipsticks, they stay put!

Nars audacious

Bobbi

Rimmel because they do my favourite colour

I don't like the long lasting ones because they dry my lips out.

I just bought my first ever Marc Jacobs one. OMG!!!

Thank you all, will have a peruse around some department stores

Bobbi Brown but just bought some Shu Umera duty feee and bold shades which I don’t normally wear but look fantastic!

👋 at @justilou1 — I resisted buying a vastly reduced mini collection of Marc Jacobs lipsticks last Christmas in the sales (I think there were 12 in the box?) and I really regret it now!

I realised I never answered the other part of the question - I don’t know enough about lipsticks to say exactly what makes them so good; I’ve not paid enough attention to properly analyse it...I just love the packaging, the feel, the luxury of it. Some of it might be psychological (it’s a treat and feels like more of a treat), but I do think that by and large, the premium brands I’ve tried have been of a better standard.

Urban Decay
MAC

Tom Ford
Chanel

I really like UD eyeshadows but I’ve never tried a lipstick! Oh there’s always something to spend on!!

Clinique Pop and l'Oreal Color Riche formulas.

Another one for lipstick queen. Medieval is red lipstick for people who are frightened of lipstick (like me). Very sheer.

The Clinique chubby sticks and lipstick queen (someone bought me the green one as a joke and it’s fantastic) for sheer colour, Clinique pops for good colour and Charlotte Tilbury for heavier but creamy feel. And YSL for classic red. I can’t really get on with Mac or Estée Lauder though other people rave about both. Bobbi Brown is a bit blah. Haven’t tried smashbox or NARS yet.

I love lipstick!

@justilou1 Marc Jacobs cream ones (Le Marc Creme?) are my favorite EVER!
