At CF, we celebrate National Lipstick day, sharing with you the best cruelty-free lipstick for a wearable sensation every day (on repeat).

Lipsticks are a sign of power, you wear red lips when you feel most confident with yourself and want to be noticed. A nude hue or even a pinky-peachy is more for these days you feel good with yourself but prefer to stay on your comfort zone not looking for eyes to catch your essence.

We all have identified feelings alongside a particular lippie, right? From pre-pandemic nights on the dance floor to almost bare skin summer nights, we’ve found the ones we can swipe on intuitively. Plus, now you can wear them on Zoom meetings — a quick sweep of your favourite red lipstick — is the best way to make it look like you’ve made an effort (when in reality, you’ve just rolled out of your pjs).
