Is it just us, or does it feel like a never-ending struggle to find an actual brown shade for your skin?
Some look ashy, others look too dark. Some look too pink, and others...well, we don't know what they are. Brown lipsticks and brown liners have been in our purses for years, so the fact that it's taken THIS long to get it right is just downright sad.
Thankfully, a lot more Black-owned brands and staple beauty brands in our beauty arsenal have finally started hearing our pleas and are giving us options. So if you want a brown lipstick to add to your collection (girl, because we know you do), then check out some of our most recent faves:
Pat McGrath Mattetrance Lipstick
Y'all know we stan for Pat, but sometimes that price point can stress us out a bit. Get into her MatteTrance lipsticks, though, if you're ready to take the plunge (and support black makeup artists!).

▲NARS Powermatte Lip Pigment
For a lip that stays on LONG time, you can't beat NARS' powermatte lip pigment tones, which comes in a ton of different shades.

▲Fenty Beauty By Rihanna Stunna Lip Paint Longwear Fluid Lip Color
Do we even need to say why you should check out Fenty? Y'all already know what's up.

▲Sephora Collection Cream Lip Stain Liquid Lipstick
'Pretty Auburn' is a super cute brown at a cost-effective price point and y'all better not sleep on the Sephora collection! It's lit!

▲Tarte Tarteist™ Creamy Matte Lip Paint
If you like a creamy formula but are still in need of a dried-down matte vibe, look at Tarte for the beautiful shades they offer (that are also brown-girl friendly).

▲Too Faced Melted Matte Liquified Long Wear Matte Lipstick
One of our favorites, these matte lipsticks not only come in cool and innovative colors, but they also offer chic browns and neutrals that you can wear all year round.

▲Karrueche x ColourPop Cinnamon Crème Lux Lipstick
And of course, how can we deny ColourPop, which offers us BOMB products for a fraction of the price? The new line with Karrueche is EVERYTHING for us brown girls — make sure you get it before it's gone.
