Top 10 Bold Lipsticks
Bold Lipsticks For The Most Daring Beauty Lovers
Don’t get us wrong, we love a good nude lip. But there’s something about swiping on a bright red or a deep berry shade that makes you feel, well, bold. Changing up your lip color is the fastest and easiest way to transform your beauty look, but we know it can be tough to find a color that’s bold but not clown-like and works with your skin tone. So we went to work to find the Top 10 bold lipsticks that editors are trying and then stockpiling. Lipstick lovers, meet the standout shades that are going to completely rock your 2019. In classic red, deep cranberry, neon pink and fashion-forward blue these popular picks are hydrating, long-lasting and statement-making. All that’s needed to master your new look is a complimentary liner and perhaps a good lipstick remover (when we say they’re long-lasting, they’re really long-lasting). So, what will it be? Ruby Woo red or Schiap pink? Opening image: @narsissist

The Rankings

BEST FOR: Deep reds and hot pinks might be seasonal, but cranberry lips are forever.
Maybelline New York Color Sensational Red Lipstick in Deepest Cherry
LOVED FOR: Formulated with pure pigments, this deep cherry shade is packed with ultra rich color.
HELPFUL TIP: We exfoliate our face, why stop at our lips? For the best and boldest application, use after Maybelline's Lip Studio Master Glaze Lip Scrub!
Dior Rouge Dior Ultra Rouge Lipstick in 111 Ultra Night

Revlon ColorStay Overtime LipColor in Always Sienna
LOVED FOR: 16-hour wear that actually lasts for 16 hours through eating, drinking and even kissing (you're welcome!).
USERS SAID: "This is my all time favorite lip color. The Colorstay product is fantastic and believe me I have tried 90% of what is out there. Always Sienna is the perfect blend of red, burgundy, and rust—not too dark not too light—a perfect neutral without being beige or nude."
Urban Decay Vice Lipstick in 1993
BEST FOR: A not too '90s brown
LOVED FOR: The color options and creamy formula are so good that it's basically impossible to just buy one!
Maybelline Makeup SuperStay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick in Voyager
LOVED FOR: An arrow shaped brush makes applying this liquid lipstick easy... just remember a little goes a long way!

WHERE TO WEAR: This sheer blue shade is giving us major Coachella vibes.
