These No-Mirror Required Lipsticks are Lifesavers.

Let’s face it, we’ve all been there. Whether it’s after a lunch out with friends or just entering a work meeting, we’ve all experienced that point in our lives when we suddenly come to the realization that the last time we checked our current lipstick sitch in private was ohhhhh, about an hour ago when we ate the stamp of it off our sandwich. If you’re like me, interrupting an ongoing conversation by busting out your compact or reapplying your lipstick in a methodical way in front of a boat load of coworkers is an absolute no-go scenario. So what are we to do?!

Well we already know two things; the first is that we need to reapply as fast as humanly possible without resembling the joker when we’re finished. The second is that we need a product that provides great color with absolute ease of application. Meet My Top 5 {No-Mirror Required} Lipsticks that are tried + true. I’ve ordered each brand by color intensity, starting with the most sheer coverage, so you’re able to choose what lipstick will ultimately work best for you.

01. Dior // Dior Addict Lip Glow Color

As the most sheer out of the bunch, think of this lip as you would a tinted lip balm. What I love about this product is that it’s very moisturizing and provides SPF 10 to your little lips, so wearing this outside all day is A-ok! Although this comes in four colors {Lilac, Pink, Coral, Berry} this lipstick reacts with the chemistry of your lips to create a shade that’s unique to your given lip color. How fun is this?! I particularly love the Berry!

02. Tarte // Rainforest of the Sea Quench Lip Rescue

I LOVE this product! It’s so incredibly hydrating to your lips and provides a great minty taste after application. Who knew?! My lips feel so soft after this wears off that I find myself continually reaching for this product to reapply. Out of the eight colors {and one in clear!} my fav is the nude. For those days when you want to rock a more natural look, this guy is it. The nude provides such a nice light pinkish-neutral tone that results in a dewy finish. This one’s a must!

03. Givenchy // Rouge Interdit Vinyl Color Enhancing Lipstick

Ahhh the great Givenchy. This product will straight up blow your mind. When you purchase this {because it’s every beauty addicts dream} you NEED to get the Noir Révélateur // the Allure Best of Beauty award winner. This color, AKA the black shade, looks amazing on all skin tones + ages, while providing a slightly different medium intensity hue on every individual. I’ll keep this guy in my pocket at work and reapply All. Day. Long.

04. Clinique // Almost Lipstick

The Black Honey shade of Clinique’s Almost Lipstick was officially my winter shade of 2016. You heard it here! This is another great product that works with the natural coloring of your lips and provides a medium hue after application. Similar to the Noir Révélateur, this product is a universal shade that works with all skin tones + ages. Although I rocked this all winter long, I’m still reaching for it in the summer months when I feel the need to go slightly darker. And who could beat the price tag?!

05. YSL // Rouge Volupté Shine Oil-In-Stick Lipstick

 All reign the queen!! This lipstick has been my go-to product all summer long; I’m obsessed! The No. 49 – Bright Strawberry Pink shade is absolutely stunning and creates a gorgeous medium to slightly full coverage when applied. Best of all? It smells delicious {like a juicy mango!} and it LASTS! Although I still need to reapply after coffee, I can still see the tint! This little baby comes in thirty {YES, 30!!} amazing shades that I need to try all this instant. Trust me when I say, you need this lipstick for your no-mirror applications!
