If you use a 'higher end' lipstick can you tell me which you like and why?

[bigbuttons]

I don't really wear lipsticks, they always looked rubbish on me, never lasted and seemed to draw attention to my less than perfect lips.
I have started looking after my lips and face recently and now they are much smoother and nearly line free, so I thought I might try again!
On Saturday I was passing the Chanel counter in boots and thought ' what the hell' and tried on a couple of coco rouge allure. I was blown away. What a difference between those and something I could get in superdrug. I had no idea.
I'm sorely tempted to buy one, but then I wondered what some of the other posher brands are like in comparison to channel. I would have gone to other counters but I had become over whelmed!
So I thought I'd ask here.
Thanks

I like Chanel and Nars lipsticks. The former has better cool and muted shade range, the latter is longer-wearing and higher-impact.

If you buy just one lipstick, pick one that you always enjoy wearing.

[Itwontletmenamechange]

I have a Chanel one - coco rouge shine. It's not drying and not too in your face. I love it and am not a lipstick person.

[bigbuttons]

Thank you. I'll check out the Nars too. Wasn't sure how the likes of YSL/Estee Lauder/Lancome compared. I guess they'll all be pretty good. Well you'd hope so for the price!

I love Nars in Dolce Vita. It's so easy to wear and would suit most colours I imagine.

Also quite a fan of Laura Mercier and Bobbi Brown formulations but don't like any colours as much as the Nars one.

Lancôme & Estée Lauder ones smell nice (or used to).

Not crazy about MAC or Guerlain.

Clarins lip pencils are very good, IMO, and not too expensive.

[BunnyLebowski]

NARS Audacious lipsticks are my favourite. I vowed I wouldn't buy any when they came out but have already acquired quite a collection.

I also really like Burberry lipsticks.

[starshaker]

I too love chanel. I also love dior and the nars satin lip pencils

[Judydreamsofhorses]

I like the Nars Audacious, YSL, and Guerlain Rouge Gs - the latter have the best packaging, so chic! I have a couple of Chanel Rouge Cocos but don't find they wear as well as some of the other high end brands, personally.

[BigPawsBrown]

YSL, always. Goes on like butter and highly pigmented. Their peach passion is the only coral I can wear.

[bigbuttons]

bigpaws is there a certain yls you prefer? There are do many different ones. The nars looks great too. I also like the look of the clinique lip pencils!

[BigPawsBrown]

I like the rouge volupte YSL. I only have one which was a gift but I probably will buy more.

Hi, I love flawless by sonya as they contain a high purity of aloe Vera so alway keep my lips from drying out. They r really smooth lipsticks not sticky or thick and not overly bold in colour which I like as some lipstick these days are very bright. They are £16ish each. 10/10 from me xx

[MurderOfGoths]

Besame lipstick is just wonderful, very luxurious rich pigments. ANd the packaging is just stunning.

[BunnyLebowski]

Agree Murder. They're just stunning.

I feel like Elizabeth Taylor every time I use mine .

[AmelieinOz]

I'm not a lipstick not a makeup person, but on the very few occasions I wear makeup, I like Chanel Rouge Allure.

[DidgeDoolittle]

I love Chanel rouge allure in Libertine. My other favourite is Nars velvet shine pencil in New Lover. Both excellent quality.

[AmelieinOz]

My ultimate favourite was the discontinued Chanel Rouge Allure Insolente!

I don't know why Chanel discontinues all my favourite shades. Like that and the Chanel JC Narcisse blush.

[FrugalFashionista]

Amelie Narcisse is my all-time HG blush!

I got a three pack of Lipstick Queen lipsticks at TK Maxx. Was initially a bit disappointed when I opened them up as they were sheer and balm-like. But it turns out they are brilliant - a great way of wearing strong colour very easily. They're beautifully comfortable and last on the lips, unlike other sheer lipsticks I've tried.

[queenbrunhilda]

Anyone tried Tom Ford? They always seem to get good reviews?

[RecoveringPerfectionist]

I am a lazy lipstick wearer. I have recently bought a Chanel in Boy. I love it. It's subtle and it doesn't smell.

[EnriqueTheRingBearingLizard]

I didn't like the Tom Ford I had. It was a thing of beauty, but I found it too gloopy and greasy and it was also short lived on the lips.

[Branleuse]

i love EL fierce. Reddish but not too statement. (my statement red is always mac)

I gave up on cheap lipstick and cheap foundation a few years ago. Too old for it

[SarahGoodwin33]

Clinique Coloursurge, the best I have ever worn by far. Really heavy coverage without looking over the top, nice matt finish which I normally dress up with a little clear gloss if its going out look, otherwise just the lippy on its own.
Last for ever whatever you're doing. If I put it on in the morning then go to work, after several coffees, lunch etc it's still really good coverage.
They stopped making it a while ago so I stocked up but a lady on the counter the other day told me another one is similar but can't remember the name.
LOVE IT

I love Tom Ford lipsticks - they're very good on dry lips.
