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.

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
