Some people throw on bracelets or earrings before they go out, but my go-to weapon is a swipe of pretty lipstick. I’ve run the gamut with different brands, but these four have made it to superstardom in my eyes: creamy and highly pigmented, long-lasting and they don’t smell funny (huge). Bonus points for the super pretty packaging, of course. I’m a sucker for something well designed.

hands-down the best lipsticks, clockwise l-r: REVLON COLORBURST LIPSTICK, $6.99, available at Walgreens.com; YVES SAINT LAURENT ROUGE VOLUPTE, $34.00, available at Nordstrom; DIOR ADDICT LIPSTICK, $28.00, available at Sephora.com; TOPSHOP LIPS IN MISCHIEF, $15.00, available at Topshop.
