Best Long-Lasting Lipsticks 2022

Best for: Powder Finish

Housed in the classic red Givenchy case, this Le Rouge Deep Velvet Powdery Matte High Pigmentation Lipstick guarantees staying power - for twelve hours - and seriously bold, pigmented shades to boot. The powdery texture glides on easily and dusts your lips with a light coat of ultra-matte colour without ever drying your lips. With six timeless matte finishes to choose from, this long-lasting red lipstick will see you from your morning coffee through until cocktail hour without imprinting onto your mask either.

The hype: “I was looking for a lipstick for special occasions, this product does not disappoint! So much so that I use it everyday and can’t get enough of it, it’s a creamy formula that’s long-lasting and comfortable on your lips. The colour is beautiful and would suit a wide range of skin tones” - Paige, customer review

The hype: “Rich in colour, velvety as it glides on, and housed in a customizable casing — what screams "luxury" louder than the Guerlain Rouge G Customizable Lipstick, which comes in 12 new matte shades for Spring?” - Popsugar

Best for: Creamy-matte

Bored of always topping up your lipstick when you’re on the go? It’s time you got acquainted with the Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick: designed to last the whole day (and night), these formulas are tea-proof, pizza-proof, cocktail-proof, you name it, they will not budge. And the best part about the liquid formula: you don’t need to worry about any smudging, feathering or colour fading when you’re out either. The new-and-improved doe foot applicator helps with precision, then all you need is a dab of lip balm beforehand to ensure your lips stay hydrated and that your pout is perfect for hours on end.

The hype: “It has the coverage of a lipstick, the application of a gloss, and the long-lasting results of a stain. The pure pigment is as rich as color gets, and it stays that way all day long. It's waterproof, budge-proof, and even makeout-proof (seriously). The liquid formula is a little tricky to control, so prep with a lip liner to achieve precise lines.” - Allure
