MAC Lipstick in Sin has been a major player since the vamp trend took off in the '90s -- and it's still going strong. Famously favored by Rihanna, it's one of the best dark lipsticks around. It's a deep blackened burgundy, with just the right amount of purple and rich brown thrown in, and the trendy matte texture takes things to the next level.

As much as MAC has been defined by their out-there shades, their Brave lipstick has a quiet intensity all of its own. It's an absolutely gorgeous nude pink with a cream finish, and it's pure sweetness with an edge. Think of it this way: If you don't have a Kylie Cosmetics Lip Kit, it's your ticket to that flawless Kylie Jenner pout.

The name pretty much says it all with this one. MAC Lipstick in Diva is about as divalicious as they come, with a deep plum pop to rival the best in the game. Oh, and bonus: It's been rocked by everyone from Beyonce to Emma Stone.

MAC Lipstick in Taupe is some kind of sorcery: Who knew a matte peachy brown could look so fab? Seriously, "peachy brown" may sound like a color-mixing misstep, but it actually works so, so well. It also happens to be pretty versatile -- it's especially great as a nude lipstick for darker complexions, but it also looks great as more of a statement shade for fairer skin tones.

Does it get anymore iconic than black lipstick? MAC Lipstick in In the Spirit is pretty much as hardcore as they come. Worn alone, it's a super badass, full-coverage black (with a cream finish), and it can also be layered with other lipsticks and glosses for an amped up look. It's a limited edition shade, but it's still available for purchase!
