UPSIZE PH | The Upsize Picks' 8 Best Lipsticks of 2018

To kick off our countdown on the highs of 2018, we’re listing down our picks for the best lipsticks. The products on this list are a mix of new discoveries, remaining faves, and pleasant surprises.

These are not ranked in order of favoritism. And so without further ado, here are our top 8 lipstick picks of 2018.

1. Sephora #LIPSTORIES Lipstick

*Sephora #LIPSTORIES Lipstick in Wanderlust (Matte)*

Every shade has a story and each one is packaged in a paper-like container and we went all the rave about it for sure. For less than Php 500, this is definitely a steal. Each creamy and matte lippie leaves a gorgeous mark on your lips!

2. Mini MAC Lipsticks

For someone like us who loves wearing lipstick all day everyday, it’s not exactly good (for the wallet) to have so much big tubes and bullets of lippies cause we change lip color at least twice a day. So it’s awesome news to us that one of our favorite makeup brands, MAC, developed minis. And we’re loving every color available.

3. NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream

*NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in San Francisco*

We got our first Soft Matte Lip Cream as a pasalubong and ever since we tried it, we never let go. It’s such a perfect everyday wear because it’s so light and easy to apply.

4. Jeffree Star Cosmetics Velour Liquid Lip

OHMYGOODNESS! This is just a blessing from the heavens for us. Jeffree knows makeup and momma knows how to do it right! Once we started, we just can’t stop and we’re craving for moreee.

5. Fenty Beauty Mattemoiselle Plush Matte Lipstick

*Fenty Beauty Mattemoiselle Plush Lip Cream in S1ngle*

Of course, this would not be a complete beauty list without some Fenty on it. These lippies have gotten all the rave when it was released and for good reason. It’s got a sexy, matching packaging with the other Fenty products as well as beautiful selections of colors.

6. Eye of Horus Bio Lipstick

Inspired by the goddesses of herstory (our words), these smooth swiping lippies are simply special. It’s got nice soft colors that are perfect for a nude lip with a dramatic eye or just everyday i-am-so-perky-and-alive look. Plus, it comes in paper packaging that makes it biodegradable and we just love a brand that cares for the environment.

7. Maybelline Creamy Matte

She was always born with it but it was also always Maybellne. When it comes to affordable beauty brands that works wonders like the expensive ones, Maybelline is your go-to. This is one lipstick that is reliable and something we’ve always been using.
