Best Lipsticks Under $20 You Can Find at Sephora

18 Ideas to Freshen Up Your Lipstick Stash — and Not 1 Is More Than $20 at Sephora

As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.

While you may not be wearing lipstick as much under a protective mask now (and playing up your eyes in public instead), all that likely changes when you're safe in your own home. After all, a swipe of this product is a virtual game changer during hour three of Zoom meetings, or a colourful addition to date nights on the couch.

Even if you don't have any actual holiday plans — or mistletoe kisses — planned at the moment, you just may have celebrations where lipstick can stand out on screen this month and beyond. We surely do, so we've picked out our favourites for $20 or less at Sephora. Every single one has at least an average four-star rating from other shoppers or more, so you don't need to just take our word for it.

Kiss an empty spot in your makeup bag goodbye and check out our picks ahead.
