Super Long-Lasting

Moisturizing
One big issue with most lipstains is that while they stay on all day, they also dry lips out in the process. Revlon has solved this pesky problem with their new lipcolor: It features a sexy stain on one end and a nourishing balm on the other. Just layer the balm on top of the stain to keep lips supple!

Blendable
One of the coolest ways to wear a stain is by pressing it onto lips with your finger to create a messy, morning-after effect. We love this Laura Mercier cream color because it’s super-easy to blend and takes a few minutes to set, allowing you time to perfect your casual chic, rubbed-off look.

Fast-Drying
For a high-impact, low-maintenance lip look, we love this handy marker from Pixi. It features a quick-absorbing formula that dries almost instantly on the lips, leaving behind a gorgeously pigmented color that won’t wear off.
