Top High Street/Drugstore Lipsticks

High street lipsticks can be a mindfield, but there are some lipsticks that are perfect dupes for their designer cousins that go for two or three times the price. These are some of the best reasonably priced lipsticks that the high street/drugstore has to offer.....

Best Plum: Maybelline ColorSensational (338 Midnight Plum) - deep plum for vampy evening looks

Best Classic Red: MaxFactor (853 Chilli) - classic 50s movie star red for evening and Marilyn Monroe looks

Best Light Pink: Revlon Super Lustrous Matte (002 Pink Pout) - matte everyday candy pink

Best Dark Pink: Rimmel Moisture Renew (180 Vintage Pink) - ALL TIME FAVOURITE deep pink for daytime and evening looks

Olympic Gold: Top High Street In The Nude Lipsticks

Proper 'nude' lipsticks are notoriously difficult to find, particularly for pale skin. And so, all in the name of cosmetics I have tried out a few and come up with my top 3 drugstore/high street 'nudes'. Enjoy!

3rd - Rimmel Lasting Finish (206 Nude Pink): A shimmery nude pink, but can look cracked if you apply too many layers, not really a 'nude' on my lips

2nd - Topshop Lips (Nevada): A nice nude to blank out your lips for smoky eye looks, but can look cracked if your lips aren't moisturised enough

1st - L'Oreal Color Riche (235 Nude): Perfect nude/my-lips-but-better

Do you have any recommendations for nude lipsticks that you love?
