When it comes to makeup, everyone has their essentials and lipstick is one for most women. The shade and brand of lipstick you use is a highly personal decision. If a quality lipstick is what you seek, then Lipstick Queen is a brand to try at least once. The company was founded by Australian-native Poppy King. She made the quest for the perfect shade of lipstick her lifelong pursuit and has developed new shades and built her company for more than 20 years.

The brand started with the Saint and Sinner lines. The shades in the Saint category are sheer with 10 percent pigment and those in the Sinner category are matte with 90 percent pigment. There is something for everyone and the concept of clearly delineating between day and night looks in your lipstick makes it easier to find what you are looking for. Since these foundational colors came out, Lipstick Queen developed a wide range of glosses, tints and pencils, including shades that work with the natural pH of your lips to generate the perfect shade for your skin tone, like Frog Prince or Mornin’ Sunshine. Finding a shade neutral or bold and designed with a classic, but glamorous style is this company’s forte.
