9 pink lipsticks that will answer all your 'Elle Woods' prayers

This is practically the lippy equivalent of a mullet – hear us out, okay? Offering a cheeky hot pink shade housed inside super chic packaging, it’s business in the front (AKA the luxe designer case) and party in the back (or rather, the bullet).

Does it hurt that this beautiful Barbie pink colour is housed in a gorgeous gold and aqua marble tube? Not one bit. But we promise it’s the crazily creamy lip-line smoothing formula we keep coming back for.

Pink lippy doesn’t always have to sit within super bright territory, either – this mid-tone situation is surprisingly flattering on all skin tones (we can thank mother of makeup Pat McGrath for that), and the matte cream-meets-powder formula guarantees saturated pigment with every swipe.

A long-wearing lipstick with just the right amount of luminosity, it feels like velvet going on thanks to its gorgeously smooth Brazilian murumuru butter blend. As for the shade, it’s just as fabulously (and hell, flamboyantly) bright as the name would suggest.

Why not go glossy with your pink pout? Loaded with hydrating hyaluronic acid spheres and an addictive mango scent that’ll have you re-applying far more frequently than necessary, this is the ultimate shiny shade for anyone chasing a particularly comfy feel.

Not too bright but still nowhere near a neutral, this romantic rose is the ideal colour compromise if you want something a little snazzier than your go-to nude, but nothing outrageously OTT. Oh and did we mention it’s enriched with softening sea fennel?

Considering Poppy Delevingne is always at the top of our ‘hot pink lipstick muses’ list, it makes perfect sense that this cerise colour is inspired by her affinity for the shade. Don’t stress about its wearability-factor, though; it’s super buildable and won’t bleed one bit.

Okay, there are bright pink lipsticks and then there’s this. Your pout is bound to pop after a layer (yes, a single one – it’s packed with juicy pigment) of this unforgettable electric pink delight. The satin finish is just as striking as the shade, too.

We’re calling it: this is the boldest, strongest and longest-lasting matte under the sun. In a true blessing, though, it’s actually wildly comfortable – you might even forget you’re wearing it; until everyone you come across asks for the details, that is.
