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've found that Australis products are great quality & great price but I haven't given their lippies a go. I'm also surprised that the L'Oreal infallible isn't mentioned, & no-one has mentioned the Maybelline Superstay either. I've been with the Maybelline one for a few years, it's long lasting but it can be drying. I'll try the Australis out, thanks.

I haven't tried any of these. Surprisingly I don't own many long-lasting lip products. I find the ones I've tried so far to be drying and fade ungracefully after eating/drinking.

I like the sound of long lasting lip colour, but I do love my lip gloss too. Perhaps a lip stick stain with gloss over the top would work?

I have tried Revlon but its nice to know that Australis lipstick is also long lasting, and it is much cheaper than Revlon.

I find Just Bitten drying. I do want to try YSL one. It's getting such rave reviews.

Great reviews, thank you!! I'd love one each of the top three, but my budget is asking me to try a Max Factor first! :)

Some great lip colours. At the moment I am all sorts of jumbo balms. I dont mind that they are not as long lasting. Ill have to give some of these lipsticks a try.

I've used the Revlon Just Bitten Lipstain and the balm too . . I like them both although the stain is drying if you don't put something on top of it.

I need to find a long wearing one although some of them do last more than a couple of hours for me. The Revlon lip stains last longer for me.

Great article - Australis is always a brand I'd try on a whim!

I would like to try the Estee Lauder lipsticks! I have always been using a lip liner in order to make the colour on my lips stay longer. Chanel lip liner does a brillian job!

I have tried the revlon ones and they last a really long time. I just re apply a clear balm throughout the day to keep the moisture in my lips

I bought the Revlon one a week or so ago and love it. The lighter colours tho don't show up as good, but the red etc, fantastic. Def worth the spend! I will be trying out the australis one now too!
