Shaped like Rihanna’s Cupid’s bow, the Fenty Icon, $20, is already on its way to becoming a fan-favorite thanks to its lineup of creamy, high-pigmented neutrals packed with moisture-plumping hyaluronic acid and conditioning vitamin C and E. It’s no secret that her signature red pout inspired The MVP shade, a bold red with blue undertones, but we’re also lusting over the collection’s nude-for-yous that range from chocolates, mauves, and neutral pinks for every undertone and skin shade.

Bad gal RiRi knew we’d come back for more, so she designed it to be easily refillable with shades and cases that can be shopped separately – what an icon.

2. Best Texture: Mented Cosmetics Semi-Matte Lipsticks, $17

To make it extra easy to find a nude bestie for you, the collection has three complexion families: Light, Medium, and Rich. Try shade Baby Face (medium pink with a hint of brown) for a dewy, plump pout on medium skin tones, or shade Amore (rich pinky brown) if you’re looking for a moisturizing bullet with purple undertones.
