While red may be the ultimate statement when it comes to lip color, we think berry is a solid runner-up. Whether it’s a blotted blackberry stain or a sensual slick of plum, a rich berry lipstick is a staple of fall and winter beauty—and something that everyone should have in their makeup kit. Here are our favorite shades for the berry-curious.
Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution in Walk of No Shame, $35
The berry rose hue that inspired an entire franchise is the perfect shade for light to medium skin tones—or anyone who wants a softer, more subtle entrypoint into the world of berry lips.
Chantecaille Lip Veil in Elderberry, $54
For a berry lip with a cause, look no further than Chantecaille’s Lip Veil in Elderberry. This jammy hue glides on effortlessly, delivering a sheer, hydrating wash of color while supporting the protection of Africa’s elephant migration paths.
Natasha Denona Berry Pop Lipstick, $27
Another tinted lip balm option for a buildable hint of color: Natasha Denona’s Berry Pop Lipstick. Tap it on lightly for a subtle stain, or apply fully for a bold, cherry mauve finish with a luminous sheen.
Anastasia Beverly Hills Lip Velvet in Pomegranate, $24
Velvety and weightless, this rich, matte berry is best applied with the teardrop-shaped wand for effortless precision. Pair it with minimal makeup and softly defined eyes to let your lips take center stage.
MOB Beauty Hydrating Cream Lipstick in M12, $24
For a clean beauty option with bold color payoff, MOB Beauty’s Hydrating Cream Lipstick delivers a rich berry hue in a single swipe. Complete the look with dewy cheeks and softly defined eyes for effortless winter glamour.
