5 of the best long-lasting lip products

While reapplying lipstick gives you something to do (like when you’re out at a bar and being hit on by a weirdo and need an excuse to bail), no one actually likes doing it. Plus, it’s really annoying to have spent the time meticulously lining your lips and expertly layering them with colour only to have the shade seem almost non-existent after a few sips of your G&T.

Which is why I present you with five of the very best long-lasting lippies. Because if there’s one thing a girl should always rely on to last the distance, it should be her lip colour.
ESTÉE LAUDER PURE COLOR ENVY LIPSTICK
Give your lips lashings of saturated colour with this classic from Estée Lauder. It’s bursting with multifaceted colour pigments to define your pout with luscious colour for up to six hours. Run, don’t walk!
“The formula is spot on! I am addicted to matte lipsticks but make an exception for this creamy finish because it doesn't budge! ” – Emma 458.

MAX FACTOR COLOUR ELIXIR LIPSTICK
Beautifully pigmented? Tick. A nourishing formula? Tick. A gorgeous range of shades? Double tick. This lipstick truly does have it all. And if you’re a fiend for a red hue, Ruby Tuesday is one that can’t be missed.
“This is quite possibly one of the most long-lasting moisturising lipsticks I've tried.” – Petal.

YVES SAINT LAURENT ROUGE PUR COUTURE GLOSSY STAIN
This liquid lip colour is famous for its pretty packaging and how long it lasts. But on top of that, it leaves lips with a gorgeous satin finish and offers SPF 15 protection. A winner all-round.
“The pigmentation of this product is like no other – it lasts through food, kissing and day-to-day activities. By the end of the day I’m still left with a slight tint to my lips.” – ray_jay.

AUSTRALIS GO LONG LONGWEAR LIPSTICK
If you’re looking for a long-lasting lipstick with an almost-matte finish, then this is just what you’ve been looking for you. Oh, and you won’t be disappointed with how it feels on your lips, either.
“What I like is that they wear and wear without fading! I hate touching up during the day and I hate products that wear on the inside of my lips, leaving me with a ring of colour on the outside. These don't do that! They hold up while eating and drinking too!” – breathesarah.

REVLON COLORBURST™ BALM STAIN
The crayon-like lip stain works a treat to coat your lips in a colour that’ll last but without that dried-out feeling. Just take note that it won't leave a pigmented finish all day, but rather a flush of colour.
"I find they do stay on quite a while, even with talking/eating/drinking. They are affordable and have a gorgeous shine to them." - Brittbut90

I haven't been wearing much make-up at all since Boxing Day. I've given my normal make-up routines a little bit of a rest since all this troilling hot weather came along!

I would like to try the balm stain. Most long lasting lipstick feel rather drying.

Big fan of the Revlon balm stains in their various formulas. So affordable and often on sale too.
Stila makes an amazing liquid long lasting lipstick, it's not too drying and really, really stays on for hours

I haven't tried a long lasting lipstick for years - but I always used to find them too drying. I'm more of a lip gloss gal myself.

Haven't tried any of these yet. That YSL brush looks so lush! At the moment my favourite long lasting lipstick is Jeffree Star Velour Liquid Lipstick. The nudes are to die for they are so beautiful, the packaging is so pretty and the formula is amazing they are very comfortable to wear and long lasting.

Personally not a fan of Revlon's balm stains, but it's good that they work for other people.

I'm not a huge lipstick wearer, but I do love the classic packaging of Estee Lauder's lipsticks. I remember my grandmother used to have some of them when I was little and I'd sneakily try them on. From memory they had a nice smell too.

Yes, the smell always takes me back to my childhood and older relatives wearing it.

The Revlon lip stains last well on my lips and don't dry them out, it's one of my favourites.

I'm always after a long wearing lippy but find they can be quite drying or don't wear evenly over time. I have a handful of pretty reliable ones but always on the lookout for new ones to add to my collection.
