The 10 Best Lipsticks and Stains for Long-Lasting Color

Rodin Olio Lusso Luxury Lip & Cheek Oil ($35)

When it comes to lightweight, barely-there lip color, this luxe cheek and lip oil takes the cake. It instantly drenches lips with hydration and a sexy wash of color.

Burberry Kisses Lip Lacquer ($37)

High-shine but never sticky, all 12 shades of this bold lacquer—think delicate nudes to punchy corals and reds—stay put for hours without wavering on the gloss factor.

Buxom Cosmetics Serial Kisser Plumping Lip Stain ($22)

One swipe of this superlight, long-lasting stain won’t budge until dinner. The best part? It’s packed with hyaluronic acid and peptides to plump and nourish lips, too.

Honest Beauty Liquid Lipstick ($13)

This vegan, avocado oil–infused lipstick hydrates lips while you wear any of the seven stunning shades—they range from nude to a pretty berry hue—without making lips feel cakey or dry.

Revlon Ultra HD Vinyl Lip Polish ($10)

Awesome color payoff, a lush feel and a formula that takes some serious elbow grease to remove makes this tube a must for those extra-long days.  

COL-LAB Matte Addiction Liquid Lip Color ($10)

It’s so light you’ll forget you have it on—until coworkers ask you for the secret behind this your-lips-but-better liquid. (Little do they know it’s $10.)

Fenty Beauty Stunna Lip Paint ($24)

Once given a moment to dry, this watery formula dries down to a must-have semi-matte finish that stays in place until you wash it off. 

Avon 2-in-1 Lip Tattoo Lip Line & Fill Duo ($12)

Both sides of this dual-ended pencil house a saturated lip stain: Use the thinner, pencil-tipped side to line, and the thicker, marker-like one to fill. 

Giorgio Armani Beauty Matte Nature Lip Mastreo ($38)

No matter which of the 33 shades you select (we’re partial to the 10 new hues inspired by natural elements) the soft, mousse-like formula feels comforting on lips, not sticky, or drying. The best part: you don’t have to worry about it smudging off with every bite of your lunch. 

YSL Beauty Vernis a Levres Water Stain ($37)

The pointed applicator tip makes coloring in the lines easy; the long-wearing water-like formula makes your pout look effortless.
