Black Radiance Brilliant Effects Lip Gloss in Romantic: $5.29

A few of us at Sweety High have tan and deep skin tones. Unfortunately, many pink shades are not friendly to us or our undertones. No need to worry, though. Black Radiance is a brand specifically for us, and they have a perfect pink for Valentine's Day. The Brilliant Effects Lip Gloss in Romantic is a gorgeous, metallic rose shade. It'll make your lip looks like they have diamonds on them without giving you that frosty, chapped look.

NYX Professional Makeup Butter Gloss in Angel Food Cake: $6

We had to include one of the classics: the NYX Butter Gloss in Angel Food Cake. There is a reason why it's one of the bestselling shades and products. It keeps your lips hydrated throughout the day (because you don't want crusty lips on your dinner date), and the nude pink is flattering on all skin colors. Plus, it's only $6, so why not test it?

 

r.e.m. beauty On Your Collar Matte Lipstick: $19

Ariana Grande always comes up with the most adorable lip shades. Her On Your Collar Matte Lipstick has the perfect natural color for every person. One of our favorites, however, is Drive-In Movie. They call it a "nude rose" to give you that "your lips-but-better" appearance. And no, this matte lippie won't dry your skin.

 

MAC Matte Lipstick in Honey Love: $23

Years ago, Tana Mongeau mentioned that she constantly wore Honey Love on her YouTube channel. It still sticks with us, even almost eight years later. This shade always looks beautiful on anyone with fair skin. It's less pink than your typical lipstick, but that's what makes it so great. And MAC has the creamiest formula of any item with a matte finish.

Are you seeking a more edgy, dark look this Valentine's Day? Clinique's Black Honey won't disappoint you. It's a very buildable deep berry shade. So, you can take your pick for something natural or loud. Somehow, it looks gorgeous (and different) on everyone's lips. If you don't believe us, it has over 1,500 reviews and nearly five stars. Clinique says they sell seven per minute!

 

Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Hydrating Lipstick in Hollywood Vixen: $35

Are you channeling your inner Marilyn Monroe this Valentine's Day? Charlotte Tilbury has a lipstick to channel this specific vibe. Hollywood Vixen is a vintage-inspired, "nuanced bright red lipstick" with a "modern matte formula." The brand even gave it a special red tube—we'd buy it for that alone.

 

Yves Saint Laurent Tatouage Couture Velvet Cream Matte Liquid Lipstick in Rouge Rebel: $45

Yves Saint Laurent's makeup line has some of the best lipsticks we've used. Their Tatouage Couture Velvet Cream Matte lipstick is as luxurious as it sounds. It applies like butter but dries to look like you have the softest, pillowy dream lips that you'd only see on social media. Each swatch is packed with pigment—which means this item will last you a long time.
