6 Makeup Miracles That Will Blow Your Mind
By Megan McIntyre, Illustrated by Zhang Qingyun

This chunky lip pencil is the grandaddy of them all, with legions of devoted fans singing its praises. While there are several different finishes — including Gloss and the new Satin iteration — we think Matte is the one the deserves the shout-out here. Not only are the 18 hue options all absolutely breathtaking, the color refuses to budge. All that and a velvety, sueded finish means this crayon has a permanent place in our makeup bags.
