It’s a fact - we’re beyond obsessed with lip colours. Taking the spotlight in the office this week are lip paints: they’re hydrating, feel light on lips and can really make a statement (especially if opt for a brighter shade). Here, discover our favourites that have just hit counters.

Giorgio Armani Lip Magnets

Giorgio Armani Lip Magnets are punchy without feeling heavy on lips. The long-lasting formula also deserves a mention… can you believe they last up to eight hours?

Napoleon Perdis Total Bae Matte It!

Packed with nourishing candelilla wax, Napoleon Perdis Total Bae Matte It! can keep smackers hydrated and coated in colour at the same time.

ModelCo Super Lips Bewitched Long-Lasting Lip Lacquer

After a glossy look? ModelCo Super Lips Bewitched Long-Lasting Lip Lacquer has the same colour depth as a lipstick, but dries to a shiny finish.

16 Brand Fingerpens

16 Brand Fingerpens come in a range of both pared-back and bright colours, and are interestingly packaged in pens with a round foam tip (perfect for creating ombré lip looks).

Pur Lip Lures

If you’ve got an unsteady hand, then Pur Lip Lures could be for you. They’re packaged in sleek silver pens with a flocked tip that can move effortlessly around the contours of your lips.

Maybelline New York Lip Studio Color Jolt Intense Lip Paints

Maybelline New York Lip Studio Color Jolt Intense Lip Paints are highly pigmented and can be applied straight from the teensy tube. Plus, they come in eight shades - from beiges to berry tones, there’s something for everyone.

NYX Whipped Lip & Cheek Soufflé

NYX Whipped Lip & Cheek Soufflé feels weightless on lips (all thanks to its mousse-like formula), and can even be used on your cheeks for a flush of colour.
