Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Lip Tar in Black Metal Dahlia, $16

It doesn't get much more dangerously gorgeous than OCC's Black Metal Dahlia -- it's one of the cult brand's most well-known shades, and for good reason: The formula lasts and lasts, and it's every bit as alluring as it is high-impact. With a deep rich shade of burgundy imbued with gorgeous metallic glitter, it's a little dangerous and steampunk -- but at the same time traditionally beautiful. In other words? It's a true, multitasking keeper.

CoverGirl Colorlicious Lip Lava in Look It's Lava, $7.99

Though they're glosses, these Lip Lavas have more than enough pigment to go around -- heck, they're more pigmented than some lipsticks, even. Plus, they're shiny both in terms of metallic glitter content and in terms of finish, which definitely makes this something of a standout formula (though the strong scent/flavor may be a turnoff for some). Oh, and did we mention you can nab one for less than $10 at your favorite local drugstore? If you're looking to give the product a try, the electric violet lacquer Look It's Lava might have to become your new go-to.

Pat McGrath Labs Lust 004, $60

For true beauty risk-takers, Pat McGrath's lip kit really takes things to the Next Level (seriously, it deserves the capitalization). The up to three-step application process for this metallic lipstick kit merits major commitment, and is no joke -- especially with the hefty price tag. It's all worth it, though: the two matte bases, two shades of glitter and high-shine gloss all add up to major haute couture perfection -- you'll look like you walked right off a Paris runway.

Kylie Cosmetics Metal Matte Lipstick in King K, $18

It's not as if Kylie Jenner invented metallic lipstick per se ... but she did help usher the look in as a hot new trend. While this roundup contains various interpretations of the word "metallic," Kylie's Metal Lipsticks are about as true to the definition as it gets. Available in three gorgeous shades, the eponymous King K might just be the most luxurious of all. It's your best bet for lips that look like something straight out of a gold leaf illuminated manuscript.
