Bubble Yum: The Bubblegum Pink Lipstick Review

Don’t let the dull winter weather burst your bubble! Pink lipstick is the perfect cure for a bad case of the winter blahs. These classic, true pinks are at once sweet and traffic-stopping. Who says bold is a bad thing? Let these bubbly pinks do the talking.

LORAC

8 Hour Lip Color in Hot Pink | $16

This extra-warm flamingo shade has stamina! It lasts and lasts (though it will come off if you kiss), making it a great standout choice for long, hectic days. It’s highly pigmented, paraben-free, and also smells like heaven!

MAC

Amplified Lipstick in Saint Germain | $16

So incredibly rich, it goes on like butter! It’s not for the faint of heart: the cool and chalky tone makes this ’60s-style pink pop. Perfect for inspiring a rockin’ retro look.

Make Up For Ever

Rouge Artist Natural in N33 | $20

A shimmery and light pearly pink that feels great on and smells sweet. Its perkiness makes us want to play dress up everyday!** **

Smashbox

Be Legendary Lipstick in Pout | $20

The creamiest cool-toned pink, it slicks on easily and has a slightly sheer quality, making it subtle enough for a wide appeal yet bold enough for those who want to stand out.

Urban Decay

Lipstick in Obsessed | $22

Extremely even, lustrous coverage, this might be one of the most flattering formulas we’ve ever tried! The versatility of the neutral pink is yet another reason to love it. Two thumbs way up.

NARS

Lipstick in Roman Holiday | $26

The impossibly even color will light up your face, and the pretty pink makes a statement without overpowering your look. It’s also makes green eyes look even greener. A sure bet!

Anna Sui

Lipstick in #304 | $30 | shop it

A fleshy pink with a warm undertone can work for almost anyone—on some it’ll come out bright and bold and on others, it’s more neutral. And Anna’s signature rose scent enhances the floral shade, of course.

Shu Uemura

Rouge Unlimited Supreme Matte Lipstick in MPK356 | $30

An ultra-matte yet creamy bright fuchsia, we love the futuristic bubble-like tube almost as much as we love the wearability of the product. Surprisingly moisturizing, it’s great for winter and offers standout and stay-put results!

Kevyn Aucoin

The Matte Lip Color in Tenacious | $33 | shop it

Simply striking, this cool-toned bubblegum pink practically glows! No matter how thick you build up the color, it stays balmy, keeping chapped lips at bay. Lasts long and smells as sweet as it looks.

Giorgio Armani

Rouge Ecstasy Lipstick in #500 | $40

This sunny, coral-colored pink is a bit of a splurge, but the flawless creamy coverage and vivid flattering tones make it worth the extra cash. The semi-gloss finish truly reminds us of a shiny pink gumball.
