For a high performance lipstick that's long-lasting and looks amazing on your lips, Smashbox Always On Liquid Lipstick is our all-round winner.
One of the major grievances I have with lipstick is that you apply it only to find your lips are bare the next time you look in the mirror. The solution is to amp up your beauty arsenal with a long-lasting lipstick that will stay put all day or night long.
Once upon a time, not only did long-wear lipsticks deliver patchy results, they made your lips look parched as if you've just been stuck in the Sahara Desert. Recently, the long-lasting lipstick market has exploded with brands continuously launching new-and-improved versions to perfect your pout. The latest long-wear lipsticks are highly pigmented, which means you get more concentrated color and they last a lot longer. They also do a much better job of not drying out your lips.
Even the best long-lasting lipsticks can still be a little drying, so it's best to apply a lip balm or primer first. A trick to make your lips last longer, through cups of coffee and maybe even kisses, is to blot your lips with tissue paper straight after applying. If you want shine, use a clear gloss over the top.
There are still many lipsticks out there that don't live up to their promises, so finding a formula that doesn't smudge, doesn't wreck your lips, and actually lasts all day isn't easy. To save you time, we researched hundreds of buyer and expert reviews and put the best long-lasting lipsticks to the test to see which ones came out on top.
