That’s why finding new lipstick is like lining up at Starbucks on a Monday morning – it takes too damn long.
The time it takes to analyze the zillion shades of pinks and reds is so exhausting, that by the end of it, you’ll have no choice but to continue overusing that one shade your Sim’s been wearing for months on end.
And that’s the eternal struggle of every lipstick lover.
But once you’ve found that perfect shade, you can finally kiss your worries goodbye. And today might just be your lucky day!
From the hundreds of lip cosmetic CCs that paint the internet, here are the must-have lipstick CCs that prove that makeup miracles do exist.
There’s no cheat needed to achieve the trendy no-makeup makeup look for your Sim.
This Charm Lipstick pack from Crypticsim has a hefty size of 40 nude shades to complement any skin tone (well, except alien ones).
Best of all, the velvety matte finish is so well done it’ll make you believe that our Sims got the better end of the deal with this free CC, compared to the $30 retail price of Kylie’s overrated lip kit.
Don’t let the highly-pigmented and electrically bright colors throw you off.
Because the Robyn Lipstick might be your in-game wildcard.
Trying unconventional shades is the best way to go out of your fashion comfort zone.
And since the CC is based on the Mattemoiselle line of Fenty Beauty by Rihanna, you can trust the queen to never disappoint when it comes to setting new beauty trends.
With 15 shades encompassing the colors of the rainbow, it’s time to set up an epic Sim transformation.
When you’re not in the mood for nudes and find blood-red lips too vampy, then a mauve-colored lippie is the most suitable blend for your indecisive tendencies.
With its dusty rose hue and pinkish-red tones, mauve flaunts an I-drank-too-much-red-wine shade.
Ideal for clashing a sweet and sultry vibe.
If you’re looking for that final touch to make a convincing subtle seductress, then a mauve matte finish can deliver the right intensity.
The perfect formula for lipstick CC is not as chemically complicated as its real-life counterpart.
All it takes to create a cult-favorite CC is a dedicated fan and a talented artist.
The Vixen Lipstick is the ultimate full-coverage BFF to support your Sim’s crazy antics from sunup to sundown.
Even if your Sim’s drowning in a pool, being burned alive, or dying from WooHoo exhaustion, you can trust your lips to still be bursting with life and color.
By now, you’ll probably have fifty or more colors and swatches to choose from if you’re closely following this list.
But trust me when I say that there will be days when selecting a shade from rows of hot pinks and deep reds won’t be as exciting as it was before.
If you’re feeling lazy but unwilling to jeopardize your Sim’s flawless brand, Cintrontart’s Yvette Lipstick has the perfect collection of skin-toned and muted shades to carry out an effortlessly stunning look.
With a bit of shine and sheer, this CC dazzles to become your next go-to cosmetic.
Koreans have mastered the art of providing a naturally cute and youthful appearance through the use of barely-there makeup.
And although the TS4 community is more acceptable for outlandish displays, and sometimes very bizarre fashion senses, I’m glad the trend caught up elsewhere in the world.
The famous gradient lip style reached its peak a few years ago. But it still looks as beautiful now as it did then.
The allure is the soft bloom of color starting from the center of the mouth, resulting in an I-just-sucked-a-popsicle effect that makes pouting sweetly sexy.
If you aim to impress by just a smack of the lips, then fall in love with this must-have CC.
Pucker up, because this next CC is most probably what you were waiting for!
The classic red lipstick is an iconic symbol for women. So you have every right to be picky in choosing a CC that would properly honor the signature look.
But among all the red lipstick variations splattered on Pinterest, Tumblr, and resource sites, it was Crypticsim’s Cupid Collection that resonated with glorious feminine power.
With 30 shades playing within the spectrum of pinks and red, the Cupid Lipstick proves to have more value beyond its Valentine concept.
So go ahead, make your power move and flash your brightest crimson smile.
This collection makes me want to indulge in shameless vanity and call over my Sim’s SO to get a taste of some Tender Puff! Lipstick.
Even though I consider matte lipsticks as god-tier makeup, ultimately it’s the soft features of the gradient lip that had me head over heels on this one.
With over 25 colors stunningly-designed in a delicate fashion, the color payoff is more than enough to match any occasion.
In this collection, I found the most exquisite paints to adorn any canvas – and I’m looking forward to trying out every single swatch this CC has to offer.
