There are drugstore lipsticks that rotate in and out of your makeup bag — you know, the wild colors you bought for Halloween and haven’t opened since — and then there are the ones that are staples.

For many beauty fans, L’Oréal’s Satin Lipstick in Silverstone is firmly in the latter camp. Shoppers say they’ve been wearing this “beautiful” $8 shade “since the late ’80s or early ’90s,” and honestly? The loyalty makes sense. It’s the kind of your-lips-but-better neutral that just works — on bare faces, full glam, and everything in between. No trend-chasing, no overthinking. Just a swipe of subtly shimmery nostalgia that still delivers.

“I’m pretty sure I’ve been wearing this shade of L’Oreal lipstick since the late 80’s or early 90’s. I always have one in every purse and my cars,” one long-time fan shares. The soft, taupe-rose hue blends effortlessly into any look and complements just about any skin tone, making it an easy add-to-cart for almost anyone.

Shoppers who have been using this lip color since the ‘80s (yes, as in four decades ago. We know.) consistently rave about how the lipstick feels just as good as it looks. “I’ve been wearing this color since the 80’s, and it’s becoming very hard to find,” one reviewer laments, “So I was super excited to see it here! I bought two, just to see if the quality was still there (ie was it fresh) – and it was! As always, it’s a rich, long-lasting formulation without drying out the lips or feeling cakey.” Another fan adds, “It’s creamy, long-lasting, and luxurious. Win all around!”

Another customer echoed similar sentiments about Silverstone’s formula, saying, “Years ago, I had a high-end lipstick called something like ‘Sugared Almond’ that was the perfect summer show-off-your-tan lipstick. This inexpensive L’Oreal lipstick is the perfect match for my late lamented summer lip color!”

So if you’ve ever wished for a neutral that feels custom-made for your lips with a hint of nostalgiah, Silverstone just might be your new classic. Ready to join the ranks of late-’80s devotees? Grab a tube (or three, we won’t judge) of L’oréal Satin Lipstick in Silverstone and see why some shoppers plan to keep it in rotation “until it’s gone for good.”
