Lips are the symbol of seduction -- we taste and kiss with them. So ... we try every gloss, balm, stick, stain, lip makeup etc. known to man to accentuate them. And we want it all when it comes to these beauty products: color, shine, moisture, staying power, plumpness, plus cute packaging, a pleasant, but not-too-fragrant scent and an affordable price. The good news is we can have it all. Although there's a ton of lip makeup items out there, we're keeping in classic at the moment and talking about the best lipsticks.

Total Beauty's fearless readers have tried and tested loads of lipsticks. Some of the lip makeup they tried made them frown, pout and purse their lips in disapproval, but instead of telling you about all the horrible lip makeup out there, we've compiled the best of the best -- the crème de la crème, if you will. So pucker up to these, dare we say, life-changing lipsticks. We've got 'em all, from drugstore steals to the chichi splurge-worthy ones.

Oh, and before you go testing any lip makeup, make sure to moisturize your lips first (check out this dry lips miracle video). Then, find out how to play up your lips in a flirty way with these makeup tips. And if you're not so much of a lipstick girl, perhaps there's other lip makeup out there that will pique your interest like these editors' must-have lip glosses.

Who would have thought that a 99 cent lipstick would come out #2? I love seeing comparisons on products like this.
