Lipstick is a beauty essential. It’s the perfect way to make a statement and always becomes the final touch that ties your look together. Despite its importance and popularity in the beauty world, there’s a limited selection of universally flattering lipstick brands and shades. This makes shopping for lipstick a gamble because there’s no guarantee that the shade will look good on your skin tone.

When a lipstick is universally flattering, it usually gets bumped up to cult status once it’s discovered, meaning that everyone in the beauty community loves it and knows that it’s the best. Here are some cult favorite lipstick shades that are guaranteed to look amazing on every skin tone and help you achieve that flawless glam you’ve been waiting for:
