The Best Liquid Lipsticks, According to Our Editors
Liquid lipsticks have come a long way. While we once had them pegged as tricky to apply and drying on our skin, they’ve gotten some major upgrades in the past few years. Liquid lippies are now our go-to for getting a smooth, matte finish and color that lasts all day long. Plus, many liquid lipsticks are now so lightweight and comfortable, they feel like nothing on the lips. Whether you’re searching for an affordable drugstore option or a high-end splurge in the perfect shade, we’re sharing our favorite liquid lipsticks, ahead. Spoiler alert: You’ll want them all.
