ESSENCE SHINE SHINE SHINE LIP GLOSS IN RUNWAY, YOUR WAY

Try the purple trend for pocket change with this gloss that imparts a mirror-like shine that’s not actually smooth, not sticky.

$2.99, ulta.com

ESTEE LAUDER PURE COLOR LOVE LIPSTICK IN NOVA NOIR AND UP BEET

Meant to be mixed-and-matched, Estee’s newest lip innovation lets you customize your color. For example, experiment with different ways of layering this pair of purples-one matte, the other foil-to get a look you love.

$22, esteelauder.com

HUDA BEAUTY LIP STROBE IN FEARLESS

While the shade name implies you have to be a makeup daredevil to wear it, the copper-flecked opaque purple gloss requires less courage than you’d expect.

$18, sephora.com

LIME CRIME DIAMOND CRUSHER IRIDESCENT LIP TOPPER IN TRIP

Another case for going full-on disco lips is this bananas glitter lip highlighter. It’s like a unicorn rave in a tube.

MAKE UP FOR EVER ARTIST LIQUID MATTE LIPSTICK IN 505

$26, narscosmetics.com

NYX LIQUID SUEDE METALLIC MATTE IN EGO

While metallic purple on your lips is definitely not subtle, this liquid lipstick’s matte finish tones down the intensity (but just slightly).

$7.50, nyxcosmetics.com

PAT MCGRATH MATTE TRANCE LIPSTICK IN DEEP VOID 210

Because only a precious few can pull off black lipstick, consider this nearly-as-dark shade a more flattering alternative.

$38, sephora.com
