@hoolalala  To help with the dryness: have you tried using a lip primer? A good primer can help lipstick sit more evenly with little or no cracking, and acts as an additional moisture barrier for your lips (assuming you've hydrated and moisturized your lips first). Apply a primer, give it 2 minutes to set up, and then apply your lipstick over it. My favorite lip primer is MAC Cosmetics Prep + Prime Lip Primer 0.05 oz/ 1.7 g (Sephora doesn't sell MAC in the US, but they do in Canada). I use it under all liquid mattes—and I'm the kind of person who can't wear 95% of liquid matte formulas because they dry my lips out, despite my very good lip care routine. 

NARS Powermatte Lip Pigment is one of the only liquid matte formulas I can comfortably wear. I don't have problems with Powermatte transfer unless I overapply a shade. And even then, the transfer is very minimal.

Hi @hoolalala . The Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Stunna Lip Paint Longwear Fluid Lip Color isn't drying at all. It also barely transferred on my water bottle. It even transfers less than the Kvd liquid lipsticks or NARS. Powermattes I have.

So, I would recommend the Fenty and Nars, as the KVDs are a tad drying. I hope this helps you be transfer free 🙂.
