1. Maybelline SuperStay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick should be your go-to choice for a long day (work followed by a night out) because it's designed to last for 16 HOURS. That's 7 a.m. to 11 p.m.!

amazon.com

"But what if I mess up?! How can I remove the product off my face?" I'm glad you asked! This handy lip color remover (also by Maybelline) will take it right off in a pinch.

Promising review: "These are amazing. They stay on literally all day — the only lip product I have ever tried that truly lives up to this claim. I once wore Lover all day through eating and drinking (lots of drinking) and slept in it all night, and woke up the next morning with my lips still looking great, like I had just applied (rest of my makeup, not so much!). The consistency on your lips is also more comfortable and less drying than other liquid matte lip products that I own, and it doesn't feel like a hard layer on your lips through the day. It even somehow manages to stay very smooth and relatively moisturizing. The colors I have tried are very opaque. I own Lover and Heroine and just purchased two more. I hope they come out with more colors!" —AJRLS

Get it from Amazon for $6.64+ (available in 20 shades).

2. Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick does exactly what its name implies — it stays on your lips until you're ready to remove it.

It's enriched with vitamin E and avocado oil to hydrate and soften lips.

Promising review: "Today is my first day wearing this product, and I have to give it a full five stars! I first put it on at 5 a.m. this morning before coming to work, and I have yet to reapply seven hours later. I ate breakfast AND lunch with a coffee and two waters today, and yes, it has faded but BARELY. I have never had a lipstick last as long and beautifully as Stila Stay All Day! Will definitely be buying again!" —Sara Brasher

Get it from Amazon for $22 (available in 31 shades).

3. Peripera Ink Airy Velvet is a little bottle of K-beauty magic designed to give you the most perfect and long-lasting gradient lips.

You can also apply more product to get fuller coverage.

Promising review: "OMG I’m officially obsessed! I have extremely pigmented dark lips that make it difficult for colors to show up on them, especially the lighter colors. Pink lipstick/lip stain usually looks red on me. Well, not only does this color show up on me properly (for once!!), it has lasted ALL FREAKING DAY! I applied it at 7 a.m. and it still looks good on at 5 a.m. Obviously, the color is not as intense as when first applied, but the pink color is still visible on my lips nonetheless! Will be purchasing more colors! New holy grail lip product!" —Rubicant

Get it from Amazon for $9.79+ (available in 15 shades).

4. CoverGirl Outlast All-Day Moisturizing Lip Color resists feathering or wearing off in the middle of the day (or even at the end of the day). It's a true workhorse.

instagram.com

This two-step application lip color can last for as long as 24 hours!

Promising review: "This lipstick is amazing. I've tried several all-day lipsticks recently and none of them compare to this one. It goes on smoothly, dries quickly and evenly, and lasts through pretty much anything, including eating and drinking. I love the lip balm that goes over top. It's moisturizing without being too glossy and is great for refreshing the color. Still looks good as new after eight hours! This lipstick is my new favorite!" —Liv E.

Get it from Amazon for $5.40+ (available in 33 shades).

5. MDMflow liquid lipstick goes on creamy and smooth but dries into a perfect velvety matte texture that'll last forever and ever.

6. Etude House Dear Darling Water Gel Tint — a refreshing choice for hot summer days when even regular lipstick feels like too much.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "I love this stuff! It took forever to come in but the color is gorgeous, and it lasts all day! I’m super impressed. This is after 8+ hours and eating breakfast and lunch with no touch-ups." —Jamie

Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in 12 shades).

7. Nars Velvet Matte Lipstick Pencil promises to be your designated choice for parties because you know it won't smudge after several rounds of hors-d'oeuvres or hours of talking.

instagram.com

Promising review: "This product is everything the description says. It does not dry out the lips, stays put, and goes on easily. It also feels light, which is wonderful because I dislike the feeling of gunk on my lips. I pair it with an anti-feathering lip pencil because I like to wear Cruella, and no one wants bright red to smear all over. It's never actually happened — and it's survived everything from cocktails to burgers and fries. I also love how it doesn't transfer to the glass while sipping." —magster

Get it from Sephora for $27 (available in 26 shades).

8. Rimmel Provocalips Kissproof Lipstick is a great choice for anyone who doesn't want to leave lip prints all over their beau's face.

instagram.com

Promising review: "Rimmel Provocalips is by far the BEST lipstick ever created! I have it in 10 different colors and love each and every shade. I do not wear any other lipstick anymore after discovering these. These lipsticks have the most amazing long-lasting staying power of any lipstick I have ever tried. I cannot say enough good things about this lipstick. I wear it every single day, and it just lasts and lasts. I have to take it off with an oil-based makeup remover every night, and you would think I just put it on, that's how good it still looks at the end of the day. I get so many compliments whenever I wear this lipstick. Each shade is so beautiful. It can be a little sticky on the lips so that would be my only complaint but otherwise its perfect." —MOOSY F.

Get it from Amazon for $5.19+ (available in 10 shades).

9. NYX Velvet Matte Lipstick — a budget-friendly option that looks and feels incredibly luxurious.

target.com

Promising review: "Absolutely love, love these lipsticks! Lasts through eating and drinking. Doesn't dry your lips out like some matte lippies do. Always so many compliments. People can't believe it's not a high-end brand." —Tamara77

Get it from Amazon (available in nine shades), Target (available in six shades), or Ulta (available in 11 shades) for $3.49.

10. Beauty Bakerie Mon Chéri Matte Lip Whip gives you that sweet, sweet coverage with only one application. Once it dries, you can live your best life without worrying about smudges.

11. Nars Powermatte Lip Pigment has ridiculous staying power. From backyard BBQs to hours-long networking events, it's got your back (or rather, your lips).

instagram.com, shop-links.co

Promising review: "Bought this in Light My Fire — a bright, orange-red. The formula is thin enough to apply easily and the pigmentation is amazing. I also like the pointy wand — great for control. I like to apply a layer, clean up the edges with a lipliner, then apply another layer. Lasting power is unreal — this made it through a giant meal involving burgers and ribs." —Betsy88

Get it from Sephora for $26 (available in 21 shades) or Ulta for $26 (available in 18 shades).

12. Tony Moly Tony Tint provides a lightweight layer of color that dries to a natural matte finish — an excellent choice if your makeup aesthetic is fresh and minimal.

sokoglam.com

This long-lasting tint contains a blend of rosehip oil, argan oil, and jojoba seed oil, which helps to nourish the lips.

Promising review: "Once applied, the gloss dries and does not get on anything. The color remains vibrant for an entire day and does not need to be re-applied. I definitely prefer this over lipsticks that constantly smudge and get on everything. It also smells really nice and does not dry out my lips!" —Sarah B.

Get it from Amazon or Soko Glam for $6 (available three shades).

13. Fenty Beauty Mattemoiselle Plush Matte Lipstick is insanely pigmented when it goes on and won't fade as the day progresses.

Sephora, sephora.com

It's 100% cruelty-free.

Promising review: "This is my new favorite red lipstick. It not only stayed on for more than 12 straight hours without reapplying, but there was no need to reapply even though I ate food and drank liquids. I am so impressed with this lipstick I doubt I’ll go back to my other faves in the future. I hope this never gets discontinued because this is a formula to end all formulas (at least for this red). Try it out, I guarantee you won’t be disappointed. Great on all skin tones. My friends have all tried it, and you really can’t go wrong." —Sage999

Get it from Sephora for $18 (available in 14 shades).

14. Maybelline SuperStay 24 2-Step Liquid Lipstick won't budge no matter how many happy hour drinks you sip on. Bonus: there are plenty of shades to choose from.

instagram.com

Promising review: "I work in the liquor industry so tastings are an integral part of what we do. This used to always leave me looking like I had on lip liner by the end of two hours. With this, as long as you LET IT DRY, usually it just takes a minute or two, it will last your entire work day! Be sure to let it fully dry before applying the moisturizing balm side of the lip color. I have bought at least 10 times on Amazon now." —Lesley S.

Get it from Amazon for $2.13+ (available in 39 shades).

15. Gold Label Cosmetics Matte Lip Pen provides a shield of armor (in the form of rich, matte color) for you — it won't crack under pressure and neither will you!

instagram.com, instagram.com

Get the shade Empowering from Gold Label Cosmetics for $20 or check out all six shades.

16. Revlon Balm Stain — a lip product with the staying power of a tint and the moisturizing effect of a balm. So in other words, it's a unicorn.

instagram.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "I have about 30 lipsticks and balms from different brands, pretty much all of them are more expensive than this one, but this Revlon balm stain has been my favorite for a couple years. It stays all day long even after meals (as long as you don't try to rub it off), and the colors are awesome, not too heavy for work yet gives your lips a vivid tint. It doesn't dry my lips as well. I get compliments all the time whenever I'm wearing it, and a lot of my friends have asked what lip product did I use. I have used two entire tubes of these already, this is the only lip stain that I would buy and buy and buy again. I'm collecting all the colors, and yes, I've already recommended it to everyone." —Yoyo L

Get it from Amazon for $4.90+ (available in eight shades).

17. Revlon ColorStay Ultimate Liquid Lipstick has a food-proof and transfer-free formula that won't leave a trace on white linen napkins or wine glasses.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "I only have to apply it once before I go out for the evening. Went to dinner, had drinks, wiped my mouth on a white linen napkin, and had no worries of it smearing or ruining the fabric. Went to bed late, and it was still red when I woke up the next day — that's color-stay! I'm so happy with this brand that I'm buying other shades of the same product. I thought it may have been a gimmick, but it really lasts all night without having to reapply or coming off on your cups/food/napkins or fading. A great product I am happy to buy. Also, found it in some drug stores and it's like $12, so this is a much better deal. Woohoo!" —Sarah

Get it from Amazon for $6.64+ (available in 10 shades).

18. Benetint Cheek and Lip Stain is lightly dabbed on for a natural my-lips-but-better look or layered up for a bolder shade of pink.

instagram.com

Promising review: "I have sworn by this product for over five years now. I have never found a blush that looked right on my skin, and this one blends so well! I have other friends with different skin tones who have used it as well, and it looks good on everyone! It just blends so well. It's great on your lips as a stain also! It stays on nearly all day and gives just the right amount of color. I highly recommend this product to any and everyone!" —dayzeerock

Get it from Sephora for $30 or Ulta for $30.

19. Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Lip Pencil — the lip counterpart to the brand's popular eyeliner and equally as long-lasting. You can wear it under lipstick to prevent feathering or on its own with a layer of gloss.

shop-links.co

Promising review: "This lip pencil really does stay on, without drying up. It lasts all day even after all my lip gloss has worn off. I purchased the color Manic because my selected color was out of stock, but it turned out to be exactly what I was looking for since it goes with pinks and corals equally well." —TexasBrit

Get it from Sephora for $20 (available in 30 shades) or Ulta for $20 (available in 31 shades).

20. Revlon ColorStay Overtime Lipcolor is perfect for special occasions when you won't have time to worry about touch-ups — like a wedding.

instagram.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "I rarely review the products I buy. I made it a point to review this one. I applied this product at 8:30 am. After my wedding ceremony (lots of kissing), doing wine, and eating lunch, the color held fast. I looked in the mirror at 3 p.m. and was amazed at how it looked. No smear or color transfer on my glass, fork, or husband either." —Destiny Carter

Get it from Amazon for $7.31 (available in 23 shades).

21. Marc Jacobs Le Marc Lip Crème Lipstick — a luxurious option that isn't just for looks (although it is very pretty to look at). Each application can last up to 10 hours.

instagram.com

Promising review: "These lipsticks are my new favorite formula. They are long-wearing and comfortable, to the point where I don't feel like I have anything on my lips. I wore Boy Gorgeous out one day and when I got in the car to go home, it still looked as good as when I had applied it seven hours earlier. Easy to apply, creamy, and low maintenance!" —carrierose

Get it from Sephora for $30 (available in 30 shades).

22. Smashbox Always On Matte Liquid Lipstick still looks fresh AF after a heavy lunch and your daily Starbucks run.

instagram.com, shop-links.co

It's designed to last up to eight hours.

Promising review: "Wow! This is an awesome product. Got a sample of Driver's Seat in this month's Sephora Play. Been wearing it for four hours, I've had a chai tea latte and steak with rice, and it has not budged! My lips do not feel dry at all which is usually a problem with matte liquid lipsticks." —loebianca

Get it from Sephora for $24 (available in 34 shades) or Ulta for $24 (available in 28 shades).

23. Milani Amore Matte Lip Creme gives you a solid 16 hours of wear — perfect for all-day outings (like a trip to Disneyland).

instagram.com

Promising review: "This is probably one of my favorite liquid lipsticks. I have the shade Adorable, and it's a very pretty, demure color, and it smells good out of the tube. The color lasted all day for me even with eating and drinking. It's a little drying but not to the point of being uncomfortable. For the price, it is definitely a very good buy compared to more high-end liquid lipsticks. Definitely going to try more colors." —Lindsay Marie

Get it from Amazon for $5.99+ (available in 17 shades).

24. Sephora Collection Cream Lip Stain Liquid Lipstick has a whopping 95 shades so you're bound to find your perfect match.

instagram.com, instagram.com

Promising review: "I've been looking all over for a good lipstick that will stay on through the day and doesn't cost an arm and a leg. I always try the product on my hand while I'm browsing, and this stuff I could barely get off with the makeup remover they have in stores! Purchased it, and it stays JUST as well on my lips through eating and drinking and hours of wear — I didn't even have to touch up. For the price, you cannot beat it." —enorr

Get it from Sephora for $14 (available in 95 shades).

25. Labiotte Wine Lip Tint definitely lasts through a wine tasting session and more. Plus, the packaging is adorable.

instagram.com

Promising review: "I have received many compliments on this lip tint — it stays on all day even with eating and drinking, and the color does not bleed or wear out unevenly. Plus, the packaging is the best looking I've seen! I want more and in all the colors!" —Elyse K.

Get it from Amazon for $11.98+ (available in Shiraz Red, Blush Pink, Rose Coral, Merlot Burgundy, and Chardonnay Orange).

26. Revlon ColorStay Ultimate Suede Lipstick, if you hate having to reapply your lipstick more than once per workday.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: My pet peeve are lipsticks that need to be applied every time I take a drink or several times in the morning and yet again in the afternoon. I've found the Revlon Colorstay is the best for staying put over the long haul. I use it once per day with occasionally needing to freshen up if I'm making the evening a night out. That's it. I love it. The lipstick is creamy when it goes on but does dry with wear. The color is still there but it does not look glossy, which is OK by me. If you're like me, someone who wants to look well-groomed but doesn't want to spend untold hours refreshing their lip makeup — this is a good choice. And the price point is great, too." —Miss Barbara

Get it from Amazon for $4.99+ (available in 21 shades).

Apply once and you're done!
