BEST LIP LINER

Inspired by Kevyn Aucoin’s master theory that liner should be matched to the shade of your lips rather than the shade of your lipstick, the six creamy shades of Unforgettable Lip Definer ($22) blend with every skin tone.

BEST LONG-WEAR LIPSTICK

The Lip Bar Liquid Matte Lipstick ($13) may be mask-proof, drink-proof and kiss-proof, but miraculously it doesn’t leave lips bone-dry. Plus, it comes in 17 show-stopping shades.

BEST LIP GLOSS

If you haven’t heard about oil-powered Tower 28 ShineOn Lip Jelly ($14) before, consider this your much-needed introduction. We love all six translucent shades, the luscious, gloss-meets-balm texture and the megawatt shine.

One of our favorite launches from eos to date, The Hero Extra Dry Lip Treatment ($5) douses lips in a thick, nonsticky, berry-flavored balm that actually quenches dryness rather than masking it.

BEST LIP MASK

Sara Happ’s best-selling “night cream for your lips,” The Dream Slip ($34) is the ultimate bedtime accessory. A rich blend of oils and hyaluronic acid pamper and repair a parched pout for a smoother, kissable feel.

We love buffing away dry skin with Becca Cosmetics Hydra-Light Smoothing Lip Scrub ($16), which uses natural sugars to exfoliate and a mix of mango butter and coconut oil to moisturize.
