Promising Review: "I love this. I wore it out one weekend running errands and received a few compliments from ladies I was talking to. I honestly forgot it was on my lips until someone asked what the lovely color was that I was wearing. Even my husband made a comment about my lip color when I got home later that afternoon, so the color was a win! It's a liquid matte, but it's super creamy and honestly left my lips feeling soft after an entire day of wearing it." –Amazon Customer

16. Smashbox's Always On Matte lipstick has a lightweight formula that won't smudge or transfer.

Sephora

Promising Review: "This lipstick is very highly pigmented, so one swipe is enough to get full color and coverage. It has a smooth, creamy, texture and it smells vaguely like cupcakes. It never cakes, doesn't transfer, and NEVER dries out. I just wore this all day this past weekend for Taste of Chicago and it stayed put in the hot, muggy sun and it stayed put after trying food for hours. It still looked perfectly and freshly applied at the end of the day. I will never buy a different liquid lipstick brand again." –lexurby
