After years of beingreallypicky about lipstick, I realized that liquid formulas are the only kind I like.
But not all liquid lipsticks are created equal (theres a pretty wide spectrum of quality).
I also tapped a few makeup artists to get their expert opinions.

When it was time to remove it, I had to enlist acleansing oilto melt it off my lips.
And despite being incredibly pigmented, its deceivingly lightweight and completely transfer-free.

Maybelline SuperStay Liquid Lipstick
I have a weird relationship with matte lipstick.
My lips are often very chapped (anxious lip biter here!)
It felt lovely all day and completely changed my mind about matte finishes.

It glides across the lips beautifully, and I found that one coat was more than enough.
Its not fully matte but its also not glossyit sits nicely in between the two.
Amazingly, despite never quite drying down, it stayed put on my lips throughout the day.

And as for the pigment, its bold!
This product delivered intense pigment with one coat and stayed on for what felt like forever.
