The best brown lipsticks to add to your collection

There is something special about Fenty’s sheer lipstick formula that just hits right every single time. The moisturising finish glides across lips for a buildable colour  that’s so ultra-shiny, it could be mistaken for a lipgloss (and we mean that in the best way possible). This cocoa-hued number delivers a sensational slick of complexion-warming goodness to any pout.

A true ‘90’s brown reimagined, with a modern lustrous finish that makes lips look ultra luscious. The NARS lipstick formula contains lip conditioners and antioxidants that work to hydrate, nourish and protect, for lasting colour and moisturised, pillowy lips. This handbag staple literally looks good on everyone.

Not only does this offering from Hourglass deliver a high-colour payoff finish and deep-hydration, the luxe gold packaging has a handy (and eco-friendly) refill function. Repurchase this delicious deep chocolate brown shade or switch out with another shade of your choosing - the possibilities are endless.

Shiseido have catapulted us into the future with this modern interpretation of a powder matte finish lipstick. The warm mauve-toned brown delivers a velvety swathe of bruised-black plummy goodness to lips, that stays put for up to eight hours after application. Apply with a liner for a refined classic look or blur out the edges with a lip brush for a soft-focus finish.

Offering a creamy hazelnut nude at a truly tasty price, this mid-toned brown lippy is a no-brainer for those who would like to dabble in the world of browns without committing to a hefty price tag. Plus, this soft, wearable formula lasts up to a whopping ten hours after application.
