Can we agree that liquid lipsticks are generally shit

I've never found one I like they're either horribly drying or so gloopy they end up all over your face.
In spite of this knowledge why do I keep buying them? Confused

YANBU. I think matte liquid lipsticks only look good on people whose lips are plumped up with fillers. It's not a coincidence that Kylie Jenner popularised the look. Anyone with normal lip crinkles will look shit.

Actually the only lippy I use is max factor ones that have a separate balm. They last all day (depending on how much eating you do) and not too drying or lip staining either. However, needs to be taken off with waterproof remover.
I'm too lazy to reapply all day so put it on in the morning and I'm sorted Wink

Monty27 · 13/02/2020 23:41

I won't be using them. Meh

NowWhatUsernameShallIHave · 14/02/2020 01:35

I’m all for buying from high street but to be honest all the ones I’ve found have been rubbish

I swear by Huda ones and the nars ones are very nice and fluid

ZaraW · 14/02/2020 02:46

I disagree Kat Von D liquid lipstick is great.

paperpens · 14/02/2020 03:13

Just got a NARS one. Love it. Lasts all day.

PersonaNonGarter · 14/02/2020 07:28

Kevyn Aucoin Molten Lip - it’s amazing, not drying just perfect.

AnnDaloozier · 14/02/2020 07:28

OMG that one from maybelline. Lasted through two meals.

Redglitter · 14/02/2020 07:35

I love Bare Minerals liquid matte

SummersMahoosiveClipOnFringe · 14/02/2020 07:35

Agree OP- they are rubbish. Much prefer a normal matte formulation.

PontiacBandit · 14/02/2020 07:38

I disagree, maybelline 24h stay lip colour is the only one to last for me.
It is drying but it has a balm.

Sagradafamiliar · 14/02/2020 07:39

Nooo. There are so many good ones out there.

Elllllle · 14/02/2020 07:44

Only if we also agree that traditional lipsticks have to be reapplied nine million times a day and are a complete PITA. Liquid lipsticks were a revelation for me.

StatisticallyChallenged · 14/02/2020 07:54

Some are crap but Huda, Kat Von D, Urban decay are all great

Ofthread · 14/02/2020 13:37

I like NYX soft matte lip cream

Itswrongtowishonspacehardware · 14/02/2020 14:24

The maybelline one stays in place for an entire work day and doesn't end up on my face or my teeth. It's a revelation. Not expensive either. It is a little drying but I use balm too.

Itswrongtowishonspacehardware · 14/02/2020 14:26

I have a kat von D one too. It's good, but I think the maybelline one is better.

fantasmasgoria1 · 14/02/2020 14:28

I like collection metallic ones. They dry fast and stay put. And lime crime ones are unshiftable.

roaringwater · 14/02/2020 19:12

NYX matte lip lingerie is the bomb - it goes on at 7am and when I'm taking my makeup off at 10pm, there are still traces of it.

BigRedBoat · 14/02/2020 19:31

A lot of drugstore ones are rubbish. I like jeffree star velour liquid lip.

TheDeadLadyOfClownTown · 14/02/2020 19:44

Love the maybelline 24 hour one too. Unless I'm with my boyfriend, kissing with that on seems to make my lips dry and cracked.
Had lips tattooed after Christmas, 160 all in with top up, couldn't be happier now use a bit of lip balm.
Boyfriend said last week, "you look as pretty when we wake up as when we go to bed".

katewhinesalot · 14/02/2020 19:46

I like them. Don't have to keep reapplying.

suze28 · 14/02/2020 19:47

The Bobbi Brown ones are great!

Lily193 · 14/02/2020 19:57

Huda - fab and non drying

partysong · 14/02/2020 22:12

Can anyone recommend a natural, appropriate for work shade from the Mabelline one? I love it but the colour I chose was too bold
