Nars LipstickWith the explosion of gloss, lipstick has become the red-headed stepchild of cosmetics. Yet, this product restores faith in the solid lip goo form. The luxurious, silky lipstick comes in three formulas: semi-matte, satin and my favorite, sheer. It feels light on lips and doesn't budge once it's on. The shades are nicely cur...More |

Clinique Almost LipstickFor those who want the best of both worlds, these slim silver cases hold the rich color of a lipstick and the soft sleekness of a gloss. Unfortunately, the Almost line comes in only four shades -- considerably fewer than Clinique's Different Lipstick -- and has a much shorter lifespan on your lips (the color slips after a f...More |

Estee Lauder Pure Color Long Lasting LipstickThese stubby sticks go on thick enough to leave tint on your lips after depositing color on your Diet Coke can -- upholding the very definition of "long-lasting." Unlike drying semi-permanent lipsticks of the past, castor oil and nourishing vitamins give this one a moist finish. Mostly muted hues like Rose Tea or ...More |

The skinny metal case is easy to stash, and with 10 shades you're sure to find a favorite (although some women complain the colors aren't sheer enough). We applaud Neutrogena for a form...More |

CoverGirl Outlast All Day LipcolorCheerleaders say the rich, wand-applied pigment really does last all day; the other team complains it's super-drying. Can't we all just get along? OK, so the color is dry, but that's how it stays on -- plus step two's gloss stick helps moisten. Now, this "up to 16 hour" claim -- that must be if you don't eat, whic...More |

Sonia Kashuk Luxury Lip ColorThis little lipstick is a bona fide bargain. Creamy, vibrant color doesn't really have the "wet shine of a gloss" but lasts several hours, holding its own against lipstick by expensive brands like Dior. Buildable shades are accurately represented by the square color block on the tube. Packaging is clean, modern an...More |

Chanel Rouge Allure Luminous Satin Lip ColorThis rich, hydrating lipstick has a subtle rosy scent and resembles fine French cuisine: praise-worthy presentation (the logo is etched on the lipstick), small portions and rich results. Lover, one of more than 30 feminine shades, is the only red I'll rock. (Katherine Heigl wore it to the 2007 Emmys.) Color doesn't last lon...More |

Benefit 24k Sexy Gold LipstickJames Bond alert: for the daring, high-fashion scientist, not the girl next door. The "sexy" case to this limited-edition lipstick resembles a sleek, gold bullet and comes in a diamond-shaped box. The nude lip color inside the tube is laced with fine, yellow-gold glitter, adding a sheer frost to lips that looks &q...More |

Victoria's Secret Very Sexy Makeup Perfect LipstickVery sexy, perfect lipstick -- could such a product exist? Well, almost. This compact, square-packaged lipstick has an ultra-creamy consistency that glides on beautifully. The colors are rich; I especially like Body Heat, a vibrant coral that is h-o-t. The formula feels great on, probably due to the vitamin E and coconut oi...More |

Chanel Rouge Hydrabase Creme LipstickIt's not a permanent replacement for lip balm, but Chanel's Rouge Hydrabase Creme Lipstick feels great on dry lips. The Vitamin E and chamomile formula soften, and although the color fades after a few hours (sooner if you eat or drink), it never looks dry. There are more than 30 shades to choose from that are semi-opaque wi...More |
