The Top 20 Long Lasting Liquid Lipsticks

Rosdiana Ciaravolo

One makeup product that every beauty lover’s collection should have is a handy dandy liquid lipstick. The finishes vary, from satin to glossy to matte, but we really want a formula that stays put through our lunch meals, coffee runs, dinner convos, and even kissing (NYE is coming up!). However, nailing down the right formula is no easy feat. Matte versions can be super drying, glossy finishes can leave behind evidence, and satin lipsticks can smudge and fade throughout the day. Word of advice? Look for formulas with skin-loving ingredients.

“One of the most important things to look for in a liquid lipstick is one that contains ingredients that are hydrating, to ensure it isn’t too drying,” celebrity makeup artist Lilly Keys tells ELLE.com. “Liquid lipstick is usually dry by nature to create that lasting stain and matte finish, so you’d want it to be as comfortable as possible.”

To avoid lipsticks that crack and settle into lip lines, or ones that wipe off on other peoples’ clothes or skin during a hug, we rounded up the 20 best long-lasting, comfortable lipsticks you can feel confident in.

What type of lipstick finish is best overall and why?

Keys suggests looking for a formula that you feel most comfortable in. “Regular lipstick formulations feel more creamy and glossy. However, if you’re looking for a long-lasting gorgeous stain on your lips that won’t budge, you’re going to want a matte finish when it comes to liquid lipstick,” she says.
