What the gurus are saying

These lipsticks earn consistent praise for their quality and appeal. Experts note they sell briskly at premium price points, with one dermatologist finding herself reaching for hers far more often than expected and initially thought she'd never choose them. The brand's reputation rests largely on its eyeshadow palettes, though the lipsticks clearly hold their own in the lineup.

    "I was going through my lipstick cabinet and I found several Pat McGrath lipsticks and I thought, how could this brand go out of business? Because they're selling lipsticks like hotcakes for 40 bucks or so a pop. [...] And a lot of the shades are sold out. They'd have a sale occasionally for like $36 and they'd all be sold out so fast."
