You’ll Look Like a Total Badass in These Edgy Black Lipsticks

Black lipstick doesn't have to be scary. Heck, it's 2021 and if you haven't tried wearing black lipstick yet, you're behind the times. Not only is it edgy, but if you pair it with a deep smokey eye—or better yet, a contrasting neutral shadow—you've got yourself one hell of a look.

The dark saturated drama that can be achieved with black lipstick is a case in point alone. However, not just any black lipstick will cut it. When you're playing with a lip color that deep, you best believe you're going to need a top-of-the-line formulation to ensure your lips don't flake, fade, or dry out on you before the day is over.

And if you thought I was going to wax poetic about how great black lipstick is and not provide you with the greatest ones on the market, you're sadly mistaken. So today, I bring to you the 18 best black lipsticks around that you need to add to your beauty stash ASAP. Thank me later, only after you get all those compliments, of course.
