A Custom Blend

Our Digital Beauty and Hair Editor, Deena Campbell likes to play with color. She usually mixes two or three together to create the best shade. This mash-up of Bobbi Brown Art Stick in Hot Berry and Maybelline New York Color Sensational Creamy Matte Lipstick in Divine Wine is her favorite summer time color (this month.)

Berry Lips

Beauty intern, Laquayle Agurs, likes a lipstick that’s moisturizing without cutting back on color. Her go-to brand is vegan and super hydrating.

“My lips are my favorite feature, so anything that can make them stand-out is a go-to for me! I particularly love this Gabriel Cosmetics lipstick in Meritage.”
