Five best lipsticks
Backstage beauty: A bold, highly pigmented lip ruled runways once again this season.
Hot for fall: Nars Satin Lipstick in Autumn Leaves, $30.
This recent addition to the range is our new fave. The formula is smooth and comfortable, and the shade is dramatic without being showy.
Everyone feels a little more elegant with Chanel in their purse, and the colour selection is fabulous.
Nice price: CoverGirl Lip Perfection in Flame, $11.
This lipstick feels great on and has impressive staying power. One or two applications are all you'll need to last all day.
Most innovative: Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Pur Couture Glossy Stain in Le Rouge, $38.
It's a gloss, a stain and a lipstick all in one. It has stamina and shines like nothing else.
Cult favourite: Clinique Almost Lipstick in Black Honey, $19.
Don't be scared — this dark hue is actually quite sheer. And it suits almost every skin tone.
