This deep burgundy lipstick is luxurious and long-lasting to give you a dark, matte lip that’ll have people cowering when you get near. When you tell your girlfriends the shade of the lip color is “oxblood,” anyone who overhears will think you’re talking about ingredients for a spell. You actually came to this bar to blow off steam since Stephen ghosted you, but swipe this lipstick on and you’ll suddenly look like a sorceress who is more than powerful—she’s also fed up with foolish goblins.
‘Damned’ Liquid Lipstick (Kat Von D, $20)
This ominously titled lip color is a creamy black cherry color that makes you look like a powerful witch who can do magic and fantasy mischief. Pull this lipstick out when you need the foolish goblins and ghouls in your life to get the fuck out of your way. Sure, those are just the dolts from accounting who crowd around the toaster oven when you have a bagel that needs crisping, but they’re goblins to you. Strut into the office kitchen and watch them shrink away and flee.
‘Liv’ Audacious Lipstick (NARS, $32)
This deep aubergine lipstick is super saturated to strike fear into any remaining goblins who think you might take shit today.

This is the exact color to wear when you’re going over to your man’s house and don’t want to leave without a promise of exclusivity in the relationship. He’ll take one look at your dark, witchy lips and think, “Damn, that bitch knows sorcery and I’m a foolish hobgoblin.”
