Searching for the perfect lipstick can be an overwhelming experience. There are countless brands, finishes, and colors to choose from, and on top of that, finding a tube that won't feather as the day goes on makes the hunt even harder. Luckily, Sephora customers leave plenty of detailed community reviews to help you land on a lipstick that is creamy, pigmented, and well worth your money. Ahead, you'll find the top five formulas with the most praise . . . because sometimes the best finds come word of mouth.
The smooth, buttery texture of the Bobbi Brown Crushed Lip Color ($29) swipes on with a hydrating combo of vitamins E and C. Even better, the saturated color only requires one layer for a full-coverage look.
The superpigmented Dior Rouge Dior Lipstick ($37) wears for 16 hours without fading unevenly. It's made with mango butter, which makes it feel as hydrating as a balm.
Get 12 hours of moisture-packed color with the Tarte Rainforest of the Sea Collection Color Splash Lipstick ($21). The cruelty-free brand created this antioxidant-packed formula to keep lips soft and smooth.
Good luck trying not to hoard the Marc Jacobs Beauty Le Marc Lip Crème Lipstick ($30) after trying it. The brand tells us its formula has been triple milled — which, translation: it'll glide on evenly and smoothly.
A consistent favorite among community reviewers? The Nars Audacious Lipstick ($34). (That's what the seal means.) The opaque, decadent lipstick feels featherlight on the lips and stays in place all day. Win-win.
