We rate how wearable Rihanna’s lipstick colour choices are IRL

Lipstick colour: Purple

Wearability: 2/10

Unless you’re channeling Electric Circus circa 1998, it’ll be tough. Fortunately, there’s another option: Just be Rihanna.

Lipstick colour: Burgundy

Wearability: 8/10

Bottega Veneta and Carolina Herrera were just a few of the shows showcasing the quintessential nineties lip, meaning this lip shade is life, and that I was right for wearing it well into the pink-infused 2000s.

Lipstick colour: Brown

Wearability: 7/10

With smokier eyes, you can wear it every day and how dare you question me. But if you’re not one to define your lashes, brows, or cheekbones, you may run the risk of looking completely monochromatic. Which will only work if you’d like to remain incognito (so, potentially ideal for the office).

Lipstick colour: Nude

Wearability: 6/10

Again, please just make sure that you don’t look like a set of floating eyes.

Lipstick colour: Red

Wearability: 10/10

It’s the colour you can wear without apology, every day, all the time. Right now I’m wearing it with Christmas tree pyjama pants. See? (Also: apologies for the mental picture.)

Lipstick colour: Blue

Wearability: 3/10

The official shade of asking your mom permission to wear makeup in the middle school. (And obviously we weren’t allowed because our moms knew we weren’t Rihanna. Moms always know.)

Lipstick colour: Fuschia

Wearability: 7.5/10

If anybody ever tells you not to wear fuchsia lipstick, you remind them calmly and assuredly that somewhere, Rihanna is embarrassed for them.

Lipstick colour: Green

Wearability: lol

Imagine the power of knowing you can pull off green lipstick. None of us have that power, I’m sorry.

Lipstick colour: Pink

Wearability: 9/10

Considering it’s usually the first lipstick shade introduced to human beings (and the shade of most “non-tinted” lip glosses), it’s a safe bet forever. I mean, if it’s good enough for that nineties makeover doll with the massive head, it’s good enough for the rest of us.

Lipstick colour: Magentar

Wearability: 9/10

Evidently, it’s the grown-up version of the colour that came with that nineties makeover doll with the massive head.

Lipstick colour: Black

Wearability: 5/10

Not great for the 9-5 circuit, but excellent for days and/or nights spent quoting The Craft.

Lipstick colour: Grey

Wearability: 6/10

It’s a difficult vibe for the day-to-day, sure. But if you dye your hair to match, consider grey the new black.

Lipstick colour: Orange

Wearability: 9/10

Behold: the lipstick shade that inspired the hallelujah emoji hands. And like that Taylor Swift song promises, it never goes out of style.
