20 Under-$20 Berry Lipsticks That’ll Disguise Your Wine-Stained Pout
With every winter season comes an insatiable appetite for moody lipstick shades. And though we love shades like Fenty Beauty’s “Uninvited” or Kat Von D’s “Slayer,” a berry lipstick is the perfect medium between something bright (like a coral) and something sultry (like a brown or black). What makes this particular group of shades so enticing is its versatility.
Like a nude lipstick, there are certain shades that correspond best with different skin tones. For instance, lighter pinks look best on fair skin with a variety of undertones. For medium or brown skin, plums and merlots create the illusion of a more radiant complexion, while dark skin tones work best with brown shades.
But the top reason we love wearing berry lipstick this time of year is one very underrated benefit. While a lip balm or sheer tint requires re-application in between meals, berry lipstick does the best job of blending in with and disguising those copious glasses of wine. And in our opinion, it doesn’t get better than during the holidays.
So without further ado, here’s a wide range of lippies that not only fit a variety of skin tones, but also don’t cost more than $20.
