Best Bet: LipFusion Infatuation Gloss

A classic red pout may never go out of style, but one can spend years trying to nail that perfect shade. LipFusion’s latest gloss in Screen Siren is a serious contender. The strikingly bright, cherry-red hue is liquid enough to keep lips hydrated, but doesn’t feel sticky or cheaply slick. A few dabs are enough to provide a rich, ScarJo-esque color that doesn’t demand constant retouching. And though we didn’t notice any real lip-plumping, the tingling sensation after application is a pleasant side effect.

LipFusion Infatuation gloss in Screen Siren, $29 at Sephora or online.
