Best Berry Lipstick Shade

Noelle's beauty stats: 23; long curly chestnut brown hair; brown eyes; combination skin; part African-American, part Irish and German. Keeps skin clear by exfoliating and moisturizing daily.

"This berry color is really versatile. It looks great whether you're in jeans and a t-shirt or a cocktail dress."

Colleen's beauty stats: 34; brown-black hair; green eyes; fair skin; extremely low-maintenance beauty routine.

"Another lipstick that I now need to own. It has a great, deep, color and just enough shine."

Pro tip: This color looks really dark in the tube, but turns the perfect shade of reddish pink on just about everyone, says NYC makeup artist Agata Smentek.

Judy's beauty stats: 30; colored and highlighted hair that's naturally black; combination skin; dark brown eyes. Always moisturizes at night and wears sunscreen during the day.

"This berry color looks delicious. I can definitely see myself wearing this every day."

Erin's beauty stats: 40; medium-length, curly hair (sometimes flat-ironed when it's not raining); bright red hair not showing any gray (yet); blue eyes; highly pale white skin with freckles; mostly Irish with some French-Canadian thrown in. Uses a heavy moisturizer at night and a lighter one during the day. Seriously cranky without eight hours of sleep every night.

"I love this lipstick. A good solid everyday shade that goes with practically anything. Not so dark that it's distracting, but dramatic enough to take along on an evening out."

Wendy's beauty stats: 40-ish; naturally wavy highlighted hair with a mind of its own; blue/green eyes; dry skin with some visible laugh lines; dark circles not at all helped by a horrendous commute each day!

"This one is my favorites, and it's a gorgeous shade for the fall and winter months."

Elizabeth's beauty stats: 24; very thick, wavy brown hair (never color-treated) either worn natural or flat-ironed, combination skin that can get very dry in the winter, dark brown eyes, part Italian/Syrian/German.

"This warm berry lipstick is a great way to add some color to your everyday look, especially with your cold-weather wardrobe!"

Nina's beauty stats: 32; Filipino-American; dark thick curly hair worn naturally; dark eyes; combination skin.

"I really liked this shiny berry tinted color. It made my lips look more luscious and kissable."

Pro Tip: When wearing a bright lip color, go easy on your eyes and cheeks so the focus stays on your mouth, says NYC makeup artist Agata Smentek.

Camille's beauty stats: mid-30s; African-American; brown eyes; dry skin; coarse, chemically processed hair.

"I'd wear this color every day. I love how the hint of red really brings out my complexion."
