You've got your clothes, shoes, and bag laid out for date night, but what about your lippie? The right lippie can brighten up your face and make you look glowing and more grownup (depending on the shade)—your date won't be able to take his eyes off you. Check out our faves to rock that date night pout.
Nudes
This long-lasting sweet beige shade dries down to a satiny stain.
Color Lips-Fit in BE101, P498, Etude House
This is one of the most flattering pinky-peach nudes we've encountered. It won't clash with a dark eye, but it can also hold its own when worn alone.
NARS Pure Matte lipstick in Montego Bay, P1,650, Rustan's The Beauty Source
Pinks
Hands down one of the best MLBB (my lips but better) shades out there.
NARS Audacious Lipstick in Anita, P1,400, Rustan's The Beauty Source
Another winner in the MLBB category, Twig's soft rose shade makes you look sweet without being overly made up.
Satin Lipstick in Twig, P1,000, MAC
A subtle pink that dries down to a pretty stain.
The Face Shop Ink Lipquid in PK05
You need only a pinhead-sized drop to coat the entire lips with a gorgeous rosy hue.
Stila Stay All Day lipcolor in Patina, P1,250, Rustan's The Beauty Source
Browns/Neutrals
Love Kylie's mocha pout? This shade is pretty close to that.
LA Splash Smitten Lip Mousse, P600, DTC Makeup (dtcmakeup.com)
We love this French brand's subtle, understated colors that make lips look juicy and beautiful with just the right amount of sheen.
Le Clerc Matte lipcolor in Beige, P895, Rustan's The Beauty Source
Peaches/Corals
First off, with a name like "Tinted Love," it already sounds like the perfect date night lippie. It's no slouch in the staying power department, too.
Banila Co. Tinted Love Glow Tint in Feeling Peach, P575, beautymnl.com/Banila Co. Glorietta 4
It's easy to see why J.Law is a fan of this formula. The shine makes lips look so kissable and the moisture-rich color doesn't dry out your pucker.
Dior Addict lipstick in Riviera, P1,750, SM Beauty
Reds
This classic red is a must-have in every girl's vanity.
Matte lipstick in Ruby Woo, P1,000, MAC
This smooth lip crayon comes in a convenient pen-type shape that makes application a breeze.
Shut Up & Kiss Me Moisturizing Lippie in My First Time, P549, Happy Skin
Besame's red lippies are inspired by starlets from different Hollywood eras. Red Velvet was patterned after the popular shade women wore in the 1940s. Trivia: This is also the exact lippie Hayley Atwell's "Agent Carter" wears on the show.

Wines/Deep Reds
This dark shade is very buildable and easy to use for beginners looking to go over to the dark lippie side. Dab on gently to create a deep, bitten stain, or apply in several coats to get a bolder look.
Dear My Wish Lips Talk in #RD302 (Bold Runway Burgundy), P578, Etude House
Make your lips the star of the show with this scene-stealing dark hue (just do periodic teeth checks to ensure this stays only on your pout).
Matte lipstick in Diva, P1,000, MAC
