5 Very Berry Lipglosses

Finding a rich, deep pink or berry lipgloss that doesn’t settle into lip lines or look like a splotchy mess is harder than you’d think, but here are five of my top picks that won’t give you such a hard time! What are your favorite deep pink and berry lip glosses?

  1. Revlon Adorned — a bold, fuchsia-red
  2. Giorgio Armani #523 — a vivid, pink-red with cool undertones
  3. Marc Jacobs Beauty Studded Kiss — a shimmering, muted berry
  4. Illamasqua Belladonna — a muted, fuchsia pink
  5. NARS Mexican Rose — a soft, raspberry pink

Hmm the only one I can think of for the moment is Guerlain Prune Zip! My gloss collection is pathetically small though, since I really only wear lipsticks (windy weather + hair pretty much all the way down my back and glosses are not a good combination)!

Oh, you should. They’re so comparable to YSL glossy stains in terms of texture, application etc. Obviously, the YSL ones are more superior, especially in terms of ‘depth’ of colour, but I feel a lot less afraid of using my L’oreal stain than I do about my YSL one, haha. I just feel like the latter will finish too quickly even though it won’t.
Here’s a swatch from Vanity Rouge

I know I’m just lazy, but I always skip reading these posts because there aren’t any lip swatches on the page. I never want to click each link to look at each post separately.

Is there any way we can get lip swatches side-by-side on this page? That would be amazing!

I’ve recently had great luck with Bite’s Honey Lip Laquer in Aurora- it’s a beautiful medium berry once applied. I had seen some bad reviews around about it, but tried it and found it to be really soothing and glossy, and it even tastes good.

Thanks, Christine! Now if you would only do a roundup of favorite coral lipsticks/glosses. I’m still searching for one that is not too light or too orange to suit my naturally pigmented lips and olive complexion.

I have, and love, Illamasqua Belladonna, which I bought after reading your review. Might be time to have a look at the Nars one too.
