I have a “thing” about bare lips. I must have a balm or a gloss or a stick on me at all times, otherwise my lips feel really dry.

This lipstick from one of my favorite dermatologists, Dr. Nicholas Perricone, is the perfect marriage of color and treatment. I swear, this subtle, sheer pink looks good on everyone. It is meant to mimic the natural rosiness of youthful lips. It lends just the right punch of color to brighten your complexion while smoothing lines with anti-aging peptides and protecting with SPF 15.

Oh, and it has this super cool texture the brand accurately calls “solid-to-serum.” It feels and smells delicious.

Bonus: you can layer your own lipstick or gloss over it to play with the color. I have worn it every day for almost two weeks now, with every look from a bare face to smokey evening eyes, when I mixed it with my favorite nude Tom Ford lipstick.
