The Best Liquid Lipsticks, According to Our Editors

Giorgio Armani Ecstasy Mirror Liquid Gloss

This high-shine lip lacquer delivers intense pigment and a glossy finish. It has a super soft and silky formula that delivers ten hours of hydration. Our favorite part about this lippie, though, is the mess-free application. It features a pointed tip and curved heart applicator for  full coverage and precise lines in just one swipe. 

Maybelline New York Super Stay Matte Ink

One of our favorite formulas is the Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink. Not only is this formula totally budge-free (we’re serious), it comes in so many gorgeous shades, feels extremely comfortable with every wear and won’t transfer onto your face mask. We’re currently loving the new Coffee Edition colors which are perfect for any back-to-school makeup look

YSL Beauty Tatouage Couture Velvet Cream 

YSL Tatouage Couture Velvet Cream is the luxe liquid lipstick that should be a part of every liquid lip collection. This gorgeous lippie has a ton of staying power and comes in a variety of colors and tones, all while leaving behind the softest, most pigmented matte stain.

Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick

The Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick is a great alternative to a regular bullet because it gives you that same creamy texture with all the other benefits of a liquid lipstick. This comes in a ton of colors that complement all skin tones and feels weightless upon application.

NYX Professional Makeup Liquid Suede

An oldie but a goodie, the NYX Liquid Suede lipstick will always have a place in our makeup bags. This formula feels velvet and plush upon application, but it dries down to a soft and nourishing matte finish. Formulated with avocado oil and vitamin E, the lipstick leaves your lips feeling and looking hydrated and smooth.

L’Oréal Paris Infallible Pro Matte Liquid Lipstick 

Now that wearing protective face masks are part of our daily routine, having lipstick that won’t transfer and stays on all day long is key. This drugstore liquid lipstick checks off both criteria. It offers up to 16 hours of wear, a matte finish and highly pigmented color.  

Shade M Muse Liquid Lipstick

If you always find that matte lipsticks leave your lips feeling dry and chapped, we promise this liquid lipstick from Shade M will change the game. The Halal certified and vegan formula leaves your lips feeling soft and intensely nourished. And with 15 ultra pigmented shades, you’ll be able to find the perfect color match for any makeup look.
