Why You Need Liquid Lipstick in Your Life

Are you sick of reapplying your lipstick multiple times a day? Annoyed when your favorite lippy doesn’t fit into your brand-new clutch? Tired of checking in every mirror you pass to make sure your lipstick is still perfectly in line?

If you answered yes to any of these, then it’s time you invest in some liquid lipstick.

If you haven’t hopped on the liquid lipstick bandwagon yet, then it’s time to update your lipstick stash. It gives you flawless, full, beautiful lips with no need to re-apply. This is a miracle for you lipstick lovers who struggle with smudging or constant touch-ups.

Liquid lipstick is perfect for special events or long days. It also is great for dinner dates or lunch meetings, since the formulas are practically budge-proof and will last through whatever food or drink you dive into.

One thing to keep in mind about liquid lipstick is that it can be very drying. If dry lips are your worst nightmare, liquid won’t make you happy. The formulas can dry out your lips but it’s just a trade-off for the longevity and pigmentation. It’s worth living with.

Ready to try some liquid lipsticks? You can find some great options at Ulta or Sephora, where you can sample them to see what brands, formulas, and colors you like. If you’re trying on multiple colors in one sitting, wipe it off before it dries to avoid ripping your lips off every color change. Yes, it stays on that well.

A must-have liquid lipstick is the Stila Stay All Day® line. This line is vegan and free of parabens and formaldehyde! It goes on smoothly and gives you a bold, matte finish that lasts all day. A bonus: it’s the best smelling liquid by far. At $24 for 0.08 ounces, it is the most expensive, but well worth it.

The cult favorite seen on all the beauty blogger lips is the Anastasia Beverly Hills liquid lipstick. With a wide variety of colors, from vampy red to bright blue, this line has something for everyone. The colors are incredibly bold and blend well, making ombré lips easy with this line. For the price of $20 for 0.11 ounces, this liquid lipstick is fairly priced for a prestige brand.

One more to add to your arsenal is the Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick. Available in 29 colors, this liquid lipstick has superb color payoff and is paraben free. But beware; it may separate if it sits too long, so always shake before applying. At $20 for 0.22 ounces, it’s the best bang for the buck of the three.

Don’t get caught with smudged, faded lips ever again. Once you try one of the liquid lipsticks above, you will never ever understand why it took you so long to discover their power.
