You could be really frugal with the rest of your makeup collection, but it always seems like lipsticks are everyone’s weak spots. After all, you wouldn’t need to change the foundation or blusher you use on an everyday basis, but wearing a different lipstick can dramatically alter your look and help you achieve the mood you’re going for.

If you’ve clicked into this article and are already reading this, we’re pretty sure that you’d agree.

Consequently, it seems like new lipsticks are being released by the dozens every other week. It feels good to have so many choices, but who really has time to wade through all the new releases and find out what’s best for them?

Well, we’re here to do all the makeup research work so you don’t have to. Here are 11 recommendations from the latest lip releases based on the type of lip look you love best.

Make Up For Ever has always been renowned for the amazing staying power of their products (they did start out producing makeup for synchronized swimmers after all).

Nevertheless, we were still super impressed by how long-lasting and, importantly, non-drying the formula of their new Artist Liquid Matte lipsticks were! It comes in 19 different shades.

Miami Vice

As you can imagine, the theme of Tarte’s Rainforest of the Sea collection is good old hydration, and the lipsticks are no exception. Although the formula is creamy, the lipstick is almost like a stain and provides great wear time.

Of course, one of the main reasons why any of us would get attracted to this lipstick from the get-go is the amazing case it comes in. It’s made of hard acrylic (so it feels expensive too) and bears a beautiful marble pattern that reminds us of the ocean – we can’t stop staring!
