"Fenty Beauty's new Stunna Lip Paint is said to deliver 'one-stroke intensity,' and boy, is that true. When I tried this product for the first time, I was amazed at how rich the color was as soon as I put it on. The formula goes on smooth, starting out a little liquidy, but quickly dries to a matte finish and stays put. As a preventive measure, I added a tiny bit of lip balm on top to keep my lips moisturized, as I find they always dry out with long-wear color, but I didn't really need it.
After a few hours, I forgot I even had the lip paint on. I caught myself off guard when I walked into my bathroom and saw my face in the mirror, lips just as red as when I first applied. The only thing I would advise with this product is to start with a lip liner, as I found it started to bleed ever so slightly outside my lip line."

"It's the best lipstick I've ever used. You could eat a rack of ribs, then an ice cream cone, without a smudge. But you need makeup remover to get it off, or you'll have it on for the rest of your life."

"I swear by Sephora's Cream Lip Stain Liquid Lipstick in the color Always Red. It lasts a long time without feeling cakey and it's pretty easy to remove once you want to get it off. And the best part is that it's pretty affordable."

Emma Gray, Executive Women's Editor
"I'm obsessed with Sephora's Cream Lip Stain Liquid Lipstick in Always Red. It goes on super easily, won't break the bank, and can withstand food and (at least a couple) drinks. Plus, it's a true red -- a real statement!"

"This is my go-to red lip right now. I always get complimented on it, and it's only $5. Last week it survived like 11 hours and two meals, plus a beer after work. Also, it can get crumbly because it's matte, but I suggest using a lipstick primer for any matte lip."

"MAC's Ruby Woo lipstick looks great on pretty much everyone. It's matte, so it lasts a long time and doesn't smear off easily or stick to your hair on a windy day (which is the main reason I avoid lip gloss). I get so many compliments on it and wear it year-round , even though it's probably a lighter red than most people think of when they think fall/winter."

"I'm really into Givenchy Beauty's Le Rouge Matte Lipstick in Rouge Stiletto -- it's my favorite new matte line. It goes on really smooth, doesn't get cakey and stays on a really long time."

"There's also the Stila Stay All Day liquid lipstick that's really good and long-lasting. I really like how pigmented these are -- probably the most drying of the ones I listed, but still not the worst I've ever used, and really stays on through the day."

"The first time I tried CoverGirl's Outlast Longwear Lipstick, I'll admit I was skeptical that a drugstore brand would actually stay put for hours. But I was pleasantly surprised. This lipstick stayed on through a party and didn't make my lips feel dry at all. In fact, they felt quite moisturized. The best part about this product is the affordable price tag."

"I like the Nars lip pencil in Cruella. I actually got it as a Sephora birthday gift a few years ago (love those) and have bought it since. The pencil shape makes it super easy to apply, and it's long lasting!"

"Another favorite is Bite Beauty lipstick in Tannin. It's super pigmented and creamy, and it's also natural, which is a plus!"

"What the Lip Whips do that others dont (specifically the Kylie Lip Kits , Colour Pop Ultra Matte and Anastasia Liquid Lipsticks ) is that they dry without drying your lips out. Theres no cracking over the course of the wear, either. The stuff moves with your mouth in a way that can only be described as impressive. Its soft to the touch, and theres absolutely no transfer to your fingers, straws, other people, etc."

"Julie Hewett's Vixen lipstick is a great classic red. The formula is super creamy and stays put for hours. Plus, it's not as drying as other long-wear products I've tried."
