This is what happens when a classic lipstick gets a comfort upgrade. This one delivers rich, saturated colour with a smooth, satiny finish—and it actually feels good on your lips. No more tugging or that tight, dry feeling a few hours in. Thanks to a formula enriched with argan oil and vitamin E, it glides on easily and keeps your lips feeling soft and hydrated as the day goes on. With a wide shade range, there’s something here for you, whether you’re going for bold, subtle or somewhere in between.

This is one of those classics that rarely lets you down. The satin finish glides on effortlessly and feels comfortably creamy, thanks to a blend of nourishing oils that help keep lips soft through the day. The shade range is genuinely impressive, especially for Indian skin tones, with everything from wearable nudes to deeper berry and wine shades. It also delivers a luxe look and feel without the hefty price tag, which makes it an easy everyday favourite.

If you’re drawn to that effortless, just-bitten lip look, this one is hard to beat. The sheer-to-medium coverage gives your lips a soft, natural-looking flush, while the balmy texture keeps them feeling hydrated for hours. It’s comfortable, forgiving on dry lips and perfect for days when you want to look polished without committing to a full-on lipstick moment.

Matte lips don’t have to mean dry lips, and this formula proves it. Enriched with shea butter, cocoa butter and coconut oil, it delivers rich, velvety colour while keeping lips feeling comfortable and nourished. The coverage is full but never heavy, making it a great option if you love bold pigment but still want your lips to feel cared for. If you’ve sworn off matte lipsticks before, this one deserves another chance.

Gloss Bomb is already an icon. Now, it’s in stick form—a sheer lipstick-meets-gloss hybrid that swipes on in one go and leaves your lips plush, juicy and softly tinted. It’s less sticky than a traditional gloss but still gives the shine you want. The shade “RiRi”—a perfect neutral rose—feels like a nod to Rihanna’s signature barely-there lip. The packaging is also sleek enough to pass the vibe check on even the chicest vanity.

This clever hybrid sits somewhere between a lipstick, gloss and balm, making it incredibly easy to wear. The shea butter-infused formula delivers instant shine while keeping lips moisturised and smooth. It gives that juicy, fuller-looking finish without any stickiness, making it ideal for everyday wear. If glossy lips are your go-to, this one quickly becomes a staple.

KIKO is often overlooked, but this range deserves more attention. The Gossamer Emotion lipsticks have a lightweight, creamy texture that feels barely there while still delivering vibrant colour. They’re comfortable enough for all-day wear and work beautifully on Indian skin tones. If you’re looking for something affordable that still feels polished and well-made, this is a solid choice.

A drugstore icon for good reason. These lipsticks offer rich pigment with a creamy matte finish that doesn’t leave your lips feeling dry or tight. They wear well through the day without feeling heavy, making them especially great for long workdays. The shade range is also a standout, with plenty of options that flatter Indian skin tones beautifully.

This mousse-to-matte formula feels incredibly light on the lips but delivers impressive colour payoff from the very first swipe. Infused with vitamin E, it keeps lips feeling comfortable and nourished while setting into a soft matte finish. It lasts well without cracking or feeling dry, and the applicator makes precise application easy, even on the go.

When you’re in the mood for something a little indulgent, this lipstick fits the brief. Enriched with peptides and berry extracts, it helps condition the lips while delivering beautiful, refined colour. The satin finish feels smooth and nourishing, making every application feel like a treat. The refillable packaging is a thoughtful bonus for anyone who appreciates a touch of luxury.

This viral favourite nails the balance between hydration and shine. Formulated with fig pulp, it feels lightweight and comfortable on the lips while leaving them looking glossy and healthy. The finish is fresh rather than sticky, making it easy to wear day to night. And, of course, the iconic YSL packaging adds that extra touch of glamour to every application.
