I personally love liquid lipsticks, mainly because a good one lasts all day and I don’t have to worry about re-applying during the day while I’m at work or busy in general. But if I’m wearing liquid lipstick all day, I want it to feel comfortable and non-drying. Over the past years, I’ve tried a lot of liquid lipsticks and I’ve gathered my favorite formulas in this blogpost. Ready to upgrade your collection?
Not everyone is loving matte liquid lipsticks but I feel like the biggest reason for that is that they’ve tried a very drying, not comfortable formula. If you pick the right formula, a matte liquid lipstick could actually be comfortable! So in order to save you some money, I put together this blog post and help you find your new favorite matte liquid lipstick formula!
If you’re still not sure about whether you’ll like certain liquid lipsticks formulas and are scared for them to be too drying for you, browse the description of each lipstick to find the ones that have a ‘velvety-matte finish’ or ‘satin-matte finish’ – these lipsticks look matte but still feel creamy on the lips, super comfortable!
I’m very sure that your next favorite liquid lipstick is mentioned in this post! If you tried one and love it, please let me know in the comments!

Yeah, they’re one of the most comfortable ones out there!
These look like excellent choices. It is nice to get a product that if you eat or drink it wont get messed up during the day 🙂 http://www.bauchlefashion.com/2021/09/the-corduroy-2021-shopping-guide-where.html
Exactly!! That’s what I like most about liquid lipsticks! 🙂
I’m really fussy with liquid lipstick because it just does not get along with me. However I love the Huda one and the Too Faced melted matte, those formulas are fab and so comfortable. All of the others sound lovely too though, I’ll have to look into them when I’m on the hunt for a good matte xx

I feel like you love them or you hate them unless you find a formula that’s comfortable!
