Putting a little color on your lip is the quickest kind of pick-me-up. These are the SMU Look staff’s go-to lipsticks.
Clinique Long Last Lipstick in Creamy Nude
“This is the best because it feels like chapstick but looks like lipstick. It’s super creamy and they have a great selection of colors that don’t look like heavy makeup!” – Saniha Aziz, Art Director

Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in Bow N Arrow
“This lipstick is amazing because it lasts me all day, it has a matte finish and with all their color selections, they offer a beautiful nude that fits my tan skin complexion well.” – Jade Taylor, Creative Director
Kylie Lip Kit in Candy K
“If you’re looking for killer pigmentation that won’t budge, get a Kylie Lip Kit. Candy K is the perfect everyday nude and will last from your morning Starbucks to midnight margaritas. To avoid drying out your lips, put on a moisturizing lip balm first and dust loose powder over it to give the liquid lipstick a smooth, dry base.” – Kara Fellows, Multimedia Producer
Rouge Dior Liquid Lipstick in 999 Matte
“You can never go wrong with a red lip, and this liquid lipstick was made to be lightweight so it stays on all day without drying your lips out.” – Samantha Klaassen, Editor in Chief
Yves Saint Laurent Vernis à Lèvres Glossy Stain Lip Color in Plump Up
“This is the perfect lip gloss to throw on for anything—It’s amazing at plumping the lips for a last-minute confidence booster. The color is soft, shiny, and blends well on any skin tone.” – Molly Smith, Marketing Director
MAC’s Amplified Lipstick in Blankety
“It’s from their line of nude colors, but I like it because it has a touch of pink and it also has a really feminine shine to it.” – Merrit Stahle, Senior Editor
