“This is my current favorite, especially for myself! It’s a cashmere formula so the texture stays matte, without being drying. I love that it’s super bright, which keeps my skin looking fresh and my teeth sparkling white,” says Janessa Paré, New York City makeup artist who has created looks for the runway shows of DKNY, Marissa Webb and Nautica to name a few.

“I like a more poppy, orange-based shade of red. This one suits many skin tones—from light to dark—and is the best texture and finish. It can also be layered over a deeper shade of a matte red for a more intensified full looking lip,” says April Greaves, New York City makeup artist who has worked on advertising campaigns for Athleta, Barneys New York and Intermix.
