Celebrate National Lipstick Day with the must-have shades from your favourite beauty brands
Beauty junkies will embrace any opportunity to celebrate their favourite skincare or cosmetic products, from Fragrance Day on March 21 to Sunscreen Day on May 27. July 29 marks an especially important holiday for beauty lovers—National Lipstick Day. It's when one of the most classic makeup items is celebrated with a major shopping spree of all things lippie.
Perhaps one of the oldest makeup products, lipsticks unofficially date back to the 2500 BCE to 1000 BCE, created by crushing gems in Mesopotamia. Since then, variants of lip-painting have emerged throughout history in ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome, as well as China, and have been both favoured and disapproved. Today, it's almost difficult to imagine completing a makeup look without a splash of colour on our lips.
If you're planning on expanding your lipstick wardrobe, there's no better time than now—here are the best-selling lipsticks from our favourite beauty brands.
1. YSL Beauté Rouge Volupté Shine in 80 Chili Tunique
With YSL Beauté’s extensive range of lipsticks, we can truly be spoiled for choice when it comes to picking a favourite. But one particular lipstick has earned its place on many beauty junkie’s vanities—the Rouge Volupté Shine.
Boasting a 65 per cent oil-based composition that includes hydrating pomegranate extract and bright pigments, the lipstick glides on effortlessly and gently coats lips with a vibrant colour payoff. It helps that the Rouge Volupté Shine has an extremely chic casing as well—its golden tube embellished with a ring of YSL Beauté’s logo has become an icon in its own right. The lipstick’s best-selling shade is 80 Chili Tunique, a burnished red-brown with a touch of spice.
