I?m a big believer in a bold lip; I think it looks great with a bare face and sweatpants for running errands, and it looks equally amazing for a girls’ night out. I push a strong lip color on all my friends, and now I?m doing it to you as well. This season, I’m feeling the berry lip; both rich and bold, with shades that run the spectrum of berry-red to purple-blue, a berry lip can add to an already dramatic face or standout as the focal point of your look. Swipe and go, and you’ll look put together!
My top five berry lipsticks for all budgets:
Best Drugstore Berry:
NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Copenhagen ($6)
A makeup artist favorite and beauty industry secret, this lip cream is a strong deep berry that dries to a matte finish and doesn?t move all day. It?s so striking that everyone will ask you what you’re wearing. And, it’s universally flattering, so you really can’t go wrong. My Go-To Berry:

Dior Rouge Dior Liquid Lip Stain Hectic Matte ($30)
Full disclosure: I like a stain. The NYX and the Christian Dior are both stains but the Dior leans more toward the purple rather than the brown side of berry. It?s so breathtaking that it lives in my handbag. It?s also deep and dark so don?t be afraid if the first swipe looks like an opaque purple; it spreads out transparently into a beautiful wine color. It?s the lip color I?m wearing in the photo for this piece. Pricey, but worth it.
Best Day Berry:

Giorgio Armani Lip Maestro in Art Deco (...
