Okay, so this isn't quite a berry -- it's more of a purple -- but it's too cool not to include. The paler metallic "heart" of the lipstick mixes nicely with the dramatic outside, which balances out into a gorgeously wearable (and subtly metallic) purple.
Matte liquid lipsticks aren't typically comfy (or particularly easy to apply), but this one is: In just a couple swipes, you're well on your way to a polished lip look that'll wear well throughout the day. Vitamin Beet has a bit of a hot pink lean to it, making it absolutely perfect for pulling off a playfully retro look.
Here's one for the books: Giorgio Armani Beauty Ecstasy Shine in Night Viper is a beautiful sheer lip color, with a lovely subtle gloss. It's about as comfy to wear as they come -- it conditions like a balm, but still delivers a healthy dose of pigment. Another bonus? It wears evenly, and you can layer it for a more dramatic look.
Looking for a lippie that delivers drama in the highest degree? The Lancome Matte Shaker High Pigment Liquid Lipsticks might just be everything you want and more. You won't believe how high-impact the matte finish is -- and the color payoff is out of this world.
These have been around for quite a while, and you should definitely try it if you haven't yet. The stain lasts all day (especially with the darker colors like Crush here), and it won't dry your lips at all. It's pigmented, but allows your natural lip color to shine through, which makes the colors easy to wear and pretty much universally flattering.
