I am looking for a long lasting lip liner/lip stick/lip gloss. What do you recommend?

I donโ€™t want to spend crazy amounts of money unless needed:)

Re: I am looking for a long lasting lip liner/lip stick/lip gloss. What do you recommend?

@Cekay 

 

Gloss: The longest lasting Iโ€™ve ever used is, hands down, LANCรดME - L'Absolu Lacquer. Unfortunately Sephora doesnโ€™t carry all shades (there are over 30 of โ€˜em). These glosses are formulated to be buildable: 1 coat is sheer, 2 coats is demi-sheer (or opaque, depending on the shade and your natural lip color), and 3 coats is full opacity. Itโ€™s ridiculously glassy shiny, and each of the 18 shades I own lasts for hours. This gloss wonโ€™t fully survive a meal (no gloss will), but it will hold up to several drinks of anything. Only 2 of my shades bleed/feather at all, and itโ€™s just a tiny bit; nothing a lip primer barrier or a perimeter of lip liner canโ€™t prevent. The Lโ€™Absolu Lacquers are my favorite line of glosses. 

 

Liner: I agree with others about PAT MCGRATH LABS - Permagel Ultra Lip Pencil being the longest lasting lip liner. That stuff does. Not. Budge. It usually survives a meal when the lipstick Iโ€™ve paired with it doesnโ€™t. ๐Ÿ˜„ 

 

Bullets (either cream or matte finishes): in this category, I can offer more budget friendly options for high pigmentation and longevityโ€”with the caveat that most bullets will wear down on your lips throughout the day, as is the nature of bullet formulas. Some leave a very nice stain behind, though, that doesnโ€™t go away until you wipe it off. I can recommend the ColourPop Lux Creme or Matte bullets; Iโ€™m not sure how many shades CP still sells, but for USD $8 theyโ€™re worth a try. 

 

For USD $20, Iโ€™ll recommend Origins Blooming Bold Lipstick. I own 4 or 5 shades and love โ€˜em all. Theyโ€™re highly pigmented, last a long time, and they leave a beautiful stain behind as they wear down. I still canโ€™t believe Origins, of all brands, made these! 

 

I have a some shades of MAKE UP FOR EVER - Artist Rouge Lipstick that are also boldly pigmented and long lasting. A couple of shadesโ€”like my favorite, C603, a deep dark blueโ€”are so long lasting, the stain they leave on my lips refuses to come off unless I use makeup remover + Vaseline to remove it. 

 

And then thereโ€™s PAT McGRATH LABS MatteTranceโ„ข Lipstick Flesh 3 109 and PAT MCGRATH LABS - LuxeTranceโ„ข Lipstick, both of which have a nice long weartime and full opacity. I think PMG is phasing out the LuxeTrance line, which saddens me because I love those bullets. But I also love the MatteTrances. Theyโ€™re pricey, but you could wait for the next Sephora sale to grab one or two. Also, add yourself to PMG directโ€™s mailing list to find out about upcoming sales or get promo codes. 

 

Liquid mattes: I donโ€™t wear this kind of lipstick often, but my favorites in terms of performance, comfort on the lips, and color payoff are  NARS Powermatte Lip Pigment American Woman  and Black Moon Cosmetics Liquid to Matte. I want to also recommend a PMG liquid matte but I donโ€™t think itโ€™s available anymore; thatโ€™s too bad, because itโ€™s another of my favorite formulas. 

 

To help any kind of lipstick last longer: consider using a lip primer, if you donโ€™t already. I always use one with liquid mattes, but also occasionally with lipsticks known to bleed/feather a lot or wear down much too quickly and unevenly. My primer of choice is MAC Prep + Prime Lip

 

I hope some of this was helpful!

Not sold at sephora, but i picked up the satun finish KKW classic lipstick bullet (it has such cute packaging!) it stains your lips perfectly to the point where i only reapply once it actually looks BETTER after 2 hours of wear as opposed to gone! Ulta is where i got my KKW stuff โค๏ธ

I agree with the above!! PAT McGRATH Labs lip liner is literally the BEST!!!! Done Undone for something more nude and pinky. If you want to go a little more brown Supernatural and Contour are STUNNING!!! You should def check out the glosses as well as the lipsticks. They have amazing stay power!

Re: I am looking for a long lasting lip liner/lip stick/lip gloss. What do you recommend?

The PMG lip liners are the best! Done Undone is my favorite color and is just about always sold out because it's so popular.

 

Urban Decay 24/7 liners are also amazing. Check out the color Rush- it's beautiful!
