$22 BUY NOW
Sneak a bit of bling into your everyday beauty look with Lancôme's wardrobe of metallic lacquer.

It veils lips under a delicate shine that's appropriate for the office.
Benefit Cosmetics They're Real! Double the Lip Lipstick & Liner in One in Juicy Berry
$20 BUY NOW
It's like the beauty gods are testing our limitations — find your signature lip shade, and then find a liner to match. Benefit's new line of duo sticks makes color-matching a non-issue (phewww). Designed in teardrop fashion, Juicy Berry's applicator tip is a gorgeous plum, while the base of the color boasts a summery magenta. One swipe creates the perfect combination of liner and stick, shaped to complement the contour of your lips.
Bobbi Brown Art Stick Liquid Lip in Plum Noir
$28 BUY NOW
Beauty gurus definitely judge a product by its packaging, and if we're going by aesthetics, Bobbi's liquid lipsticks get an A. Stored in tubes reminiscent of your favorite gloss and childhood snack, it's a squeezable application — unlike traditional liquid stains. Highly pigmented and comfortably hydrating, this pop of plum is a semi-matte, full-coverage wear asking to be your staple.
KVD Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in K-Dub
$20 BUY NOW
While we (not-so) patiently wait for K-Dub to launch at Sephora, we're practically drooling admiring Kat Von D's new hue. Inspired by Senior VP and Global Genera Manager at KENDO Kristin Walcott, the bold fuchsia swipes and stays on bright.
Kat Von D Studded Kiss Lipstick in Coven
Anastasia Beverly Hills Lip Gloss in Purple Rain
$16 BUY NOW
We're well aware the whole glossy trend is so 1995, but a) the '90s are back and kickin', babes, and b) Anastasia's high-shine pigments are at the top of our list this season, especially this shimmering number. Royal Purple reaps the benefits of lipcolor hierarchy, because while you may not get away with sporting a black or dark chocolate brown in daylight, purple gets a pass. Anastasia's formula gets bonus points for Purple Rain's glittery, versatile pigment — because it's subtle enough to rock solo or layer over lipstick to up the dramatics.
Lancôme Juicy Shaker in Juicy Blackberry Purple
$22 BUY NOW
You wouldn't think "lip oil" does much but moisturize, but Lancôme's blend is the first of its kind to deliver a ton of pigment. Developed with a bi-phase technology that features a transparent oil made from peach kernel, sweet almond, and apricot oils and sheer tinted pigment, lips stay hydrated and colorful around the clock.
Make Up For Ever Rouge Artist Natural Lipstick in N28 Purple
$20 BUY NOW
Purple is a power shade, so we want it to last and last. Make Up For Ever's smooth-on shade stays put for up to eight hours, so if you apply before work, you won't need a touch up until happy hour! Bonus: This vibrant bullet is loaded with waxes and cupuassu butter, so rest assure your lips will pucker nice and soft.
Too Faced Melted Liquified Long Wear Lipstick in Melted Violet
$21, toofaced.com
Imagine lying out in your driveway as a kid; the summer sun beating down on your Crayolas and, before you know it, melting them to a colorful swirl of vibrant liquid. The Melted Violet shade from Too Faced reminds us of a fought-over crayon in grade school: everyone wants it. The bright purple will look haute with an itty-bitty bikini at the beach or by the pool.

Hands down one of the best liquid lipsticks currently on the market, Stila's Stay All Day formula does not move, so if you're looking for a purple pout, you'll get it.
