When it comes to lipsticks, red and pink are the usual colours that come to mind. However, we often overlook the most versatile shade of all time – berry! This universally flattering hue livens up all complexions in a single swipe. Here are 5 of our favourites.

1. Maybelline Color Whisper By Color Sensational In ‘Berry Ready’

Our ancestors often used to use the stain of fresh berries to stain their lips. Maybelline’s deliciously deep berry mimics that colour perfectly. Dab it on for a weightless, balmy and sultry look.

2. Yves Saint Laurent Volupte Sheer Candy In ‘Mouthwatering Berry’

If opaque shades are not your style, opt for a sheer wash of colour instead. ‘Mouthwatering Berry’ is a juicy berry shade that leaves lips feeling soft and plump.
