Mondays can be a drag, but there’s nothing a little retail therapy can’t fix. And today, we’re honoring National Lipstick Day with a bit of online shopping.

While tinted lip glosses, lip balms, lip stains and even lip serums are all the rage these days, there’s nothing more classic, confidence-boosting and fun than a good old bold, matte lip.

Sephora is celebrating with 50% off select lip products, and we’re honoring the special day with a breakdown of some of our all-time favorite lippies. Here’s how to get three signature looks—from Jennifer Aniston‘s 1990s-inspired brown lip to Taylor Swift’s go-to red to the perfect day-to-night mauve.
