Passionate Pink
Urban Decay Vice Lipstick in Big Bang, $17

Big Bang, indeed: This shade from Urban Decay's recently revamped lipstick series is truly explosive. It's an eye-searing (in a good way) shocking pink, and it's got about enough glitter packed in it to power a small sun. Not only that, it's a pretty much universally flattering shade that's sure to make a great centerpiece to your makeup look. Oh, and it also happens to be included in UD's covet-worthy new Blackmail Vice Lipstick Palette -- which is yet another reason to grab the limited edition palette.

Beguiling Bubblegum
Surratt Beauty Prismatique Lips in Paillettes 4, $36

This one's less of a traditional metallic and more of a deliciously delicate throwback to the pink frosted lipsticks that were oh-so popular in the '90s and early 2000s -- it's a great way to indulge your nostalgia for the days of yore. Have no fear, though, there's nothing dated about this shade -- it's formulated with special shimmering Japanese pigments for an intense-yet-ethereal sheen.

Nervy Navy
NYX Cosmetics Cosmic Metals Lip Cream in Celestial Star, $7.50

Here's another one for all you daredevils out there-- this amazingly high-impact metallic lipstick is perfect for when you want to reach Lupita Nyong'o levels of cosmetic audaciousness. A shade this out-of-the-box definitely takes a little extra courage to take out for a spin, but let's be real: Who among us doesn't want to copycat Lupita?

Brilliant Berry
Too Faced Melted Metal Liquefied Metallic Lipstick in Metallic Jelly, $21

Too Faced Melted Metal Liquid Lipsticks come in five beautiful shades (including a bright candy pink and an enticing electric violet), and the deeply hued Metallic Jelly might just be the fairest of them all. It's dark enough to be a little bit mysterious, but it's bright enough to stay playful -- and the metallic sheen is like the cherry on top of it all. It's not quite as "Mad Max" chrome as some of the others in this roundup, which makes it a slightly safer -- though by no means less arresting -- shade to give a try.

Powerful Purple
Anastasia Beverly Hills Lip Gloss in Purple Rain, $16

It really doesn't get much more fabulous than this purple sparkly number. Anastasia Beverly Hills may be known for their brow products, but this metallic lip gloss knocks it right out of the park. It's hydrating, non-sticky, long-wearing, and pretty darn pigmented -- in other words, it's pretty much all you could ever ask for in a gloss. This particular shade of purple is downright hypnotic, and the metallic glitter and glossy finish are all you need to shine on like the crazy diamond you are.
