Want luscious lips with stay-put color? I get it. My vanity has more balms, glosses, stains, and creams than I can count. No matter which one I choose each morning, from budget brand to luxury line, one thing is consistent – I’m after no muss no fuss makeup I don’t need to consider reapplying for hours.

This is where the best long lasting lipsticks make a huge difference, and I present you our faves right here.

This creamy, high-pigment liquid lipstick from Kat Von D glides over and smoothes lips, then finishes in a beautiful, lightweight matte. It will conveniently last you all day, so you won’t have to stop what you’re doing and sneak away for touch-ups.

You’ll get a thinner but not watery consistency, and may notice some shades might be drying, but this usually doesn’t occur until at least 5-6 hours of wear. The great thing about this formula is it layers so very well – you can always touch up or throw on a second layer for even more coverage.
