The Best Berry Lipsticks for Fair Skin + Redheads

If you are looking for a round of of the most flattering berry and mauve lipsticks, lip stains and glosses, , this is the right post for you! I’ve tested hundreds of lip products and these are the very best shades and products.

I used to think I could never wear these gorgeous deep berry shades, being so fair.  Once I found the right tones though, I realized how universally flattering berry lipsticks can be.

My Go-To Berry Lip Liner

1 | M.A.C. Lip Liner

shade: Soar | $25

shop online | M.A.C. . Ulta Beauty . Nordstrom

This is my go-to lip liner for all my berry and mauve lip products. I love that is a traditional sharpened pencil, so that I can get the line very thin and precise.

The shade is really lovely, a nice mid-tone berry that look natural, but adds definition.

Best Berry + Mauve Lipsticks

1 | Buxom Full On Satin Lipstick

shade: Dolly Doll | $26

shop online at | Buxom official . Ulta Beauty . Revolve

I love this lipstick formula so much and the Dolly shade is so easy to wear. It’s a great mid tone mauve. I find it so flattering on, especially in photos!

This Buxom formula is really hydrating, so it’s especially nice in colder months, but I find myself wearing it all year round.

2 | Queen Musia Matte Creme Lipstick

shade: Becky Sharp | $36

Queen Musia’s lipstick formula blew me away from the first swipe. As a beauty blogger, I’ve tried hundreds (maybe thousands!?) of lip products over the past 13 years. This Matte Creme lipstick formula is my favorite.

It has gorgeous, even pigment from the first swipe, meaning you won’t waste half a tube trying to get full coverage. The formula has seven different oils and butters, so my lips feel like they’ve been wearing a nice balm by the end of the day.

The formula is long lasting, I am rarely touching it up, even after eating. Again, this means my tube will last longer because I’m having to reapply all day. It also feels very lightweight on my lips.

The only plus and minus is that there is no added fragrance, so I can slightly taste the lipstick wax, but it’s not enough to stop me from wearing this lipstick non-stop.

I’ve also tried the Montreaux shade, which is a pretty soft red, and am looking forward to trying more shades. The Becky Sharp shade is my go-to mauve, it’s just perfect.

When I reach for a lipstick lately, it’s usually this Queen Musia.

3 | Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Lipstick

shade: Secret Selma | $34

shop online at | Charlotte Tilbury Official . Ulta Beauty . Sephora

If you are looking for a slightly deeper berry shade, the Charlotte Tilbury Hot Lips in Secret Selma is a good choice. I like to wear this one when I want a stand-out lip, but don’t feel like wearing a red shade. This berry shade gives excellent definition, without being overpowering.

The formula is comfortable on the lips and wears on me for around 4 hours before needing a touch up. I like wearing this lipstick formula in the summer, because it doesn’t bleed or sweat into my lip lines.

Best Berry Stains + Lip Glosses

1 | Judydoll Ice Watery Lip Gloss

shade: 10 Rosy Martini | $10

shop online at | YesStyle

This Lip Gloss from Judydoll has the sheen of a lip gloss, but the texture of a lip stain. It’s very cool! The applicator is a wand with a stainless steel curved cup at the end. It scoops out the perfect amount of product for your lips.

I liked the texture of this gloss/stain hybrid. It was also hydrating and kept my lips in good condition throughout the day. It does need to be reapplied every few hours.

Judydoll is quickly becoming one of my favorite Asian beauty brands and this lip tint is a new favorite from them.

2 | IT Cosmetics Confidence in a Serum Lip Gloss

shade: Self-Determined | $26

shop online at | Ulta Beauty . It Cosmetics . Amazon

From the moment I first tried It Cosmetic’s new lip gloss, I could tell this formula was special. It has a great cushiony feel on the lips and adds moisture throughout the day. I think of it as a Gatorade for my lips, ha!

Beyond the amazing formula, I think that the Self-Determined shade is a perfect berry. It’s super flattering and not too pink. I can see this shade working well on the full range of skin tones. This one is a gem!

3 | Eadem Le ChouChou Exfoliating + Softening Peptide Lip Balm

shade: Bissap Glaze | $24

shop online at | Eadam Official . Sephora

Not only does the Eadem Lip Balm work as a gloss, it can be applied and worn overnight as an intense lip balm. The formula is very cushiony feeling on the lips. It feels much more like a balm than a gloss.

This shade is a true berry which immediately pulled me in. I try so many berry and mauve shades and many end up being too pink, however, this Bissap Glaze shade from Eadem is perfect!
