The software process was seamless, as well.

Its high-shine pigment also looked even and beautiful all day (and night).

This formula lives up to its claims of lasting up to 16 hours.

Her one complaint about this lipstick was its fragrance, which she said was strong.

She also observed that, although one swipe sufficed, the formula is buildable for a bolder look.

It also achieves a good color payoff with one swipe but is buildable for a bolder look.

But for a full-coverage, stay-all-day lipstick, its tough to go wrong with this pick from Maybelline.

Overall, for a quality, long-lasting option with an expansive shade range, opt for this cream-to-matte formula.

Dominique Hobdy, senior editor:I appreciated the longevity of this lipstick.

Dominique Hobdy, senior editor:This formula had a velvety texture.

It was also super lightweight and not noticeable throughout the day.

Seriously, the formula is completely weightless.

Thick, matte textures can get heavy and crumbly while also emphasizing the look of dry patches and flakiness.

Alyssa Kaplan, associate editor:“I can’t say enough good things about this lipstick.

Also, unlike a lot of matte options, it didnt cling to any dryness on the lips.

It went on like butter.

I also loved how lightweight it feltso comfortable and not drying at all.

I’ve never used a clear gloss that is so shiny without being sticky at all.

It makes my lips feel so hydrated!

Its formula softens on the lips, applies smoothly, and lasts virtually all day.

Its certainly comfortable enough to wear all day, especially when layered over lip balm.
