Why It’s Worth It: Ideal for when you don’t have a mirror handy, Anastasia Beverly Hills’ Satin Lipstick distributes color evenly for immaculate application every time. And, unlike lipsticks with a more lustrous finish, you’ll get more pigment per swipe without running the risk of feathering — making it perfect for older women.

Editor Tip: According to Majdipour, satin finishes have more slip than matte formulas, making them easier to apply.

Key Ingredients: Microcrystalline wax | Finish: Satin | Available Shades: 12

Best Medium Coverage: Tarte Maracuja Juicy Lip Crème

Why It’s Worth It: You know those lipstick formulas that deliver an impressive color payoff upon initial application and then fade gracefully to an effortless, lived-in look? That’s exactly what the Tarte Maracuja Juicy Lip Crème does. “This multipurpose lipstick contains a maracuja superfruit complex, which helps hydrate the lips for several hours,” says Guth. “It also has a satin-gloss finish and medium coverage.”

Editor Tip: If you want a similar formula that yields a fuller effect, try Tarte’s Maracuja Juicy Lip Plumper, which is beloved by shopping market editor Angela Trakoshis and contains the same hydrating ingredients as the Juicy Lip Creme.

Key Ingredients: Maracuja oil, hyaluronic acid, grapeseed oil, goji berry, açai | Finish: Glossy | Available Shades: 11

Best Plumping: Buxom Plump Shot Lip Serum

Why It’s Worth It: Skip the lip filler this month and reach for the Buxom Plump Shot Lip Serum, which juices up lips with all the good stuff. The vegan collagen, tri-peptides, and hyaluronic acid work hard to hydrate, plump, and smooth. In addition to its plumping powers, you’ll get a nice wash of color that you can layer over creamy lipstick or use on its own.

Editor Tip: Buxom’s website offers a virtual try-on feature so you can be certain that you’re picking a color that works for you.

Key Ingredients: Vegan collagen, peptides, hyaluronic acid, avocado oil, tsubaki oil, jojoba oil | Finish: Sheer | Available Shades: 20
