Battle of The Liquid Lipsticks!

Hi guys! I'm sorry I haven't been posting as much but I’m back! In todays post I will be comparing the top 10 most popular liquid lipsticks (in order from best to worst). If you're interested in finding the best liquid lipstick for you, keep on reading.

1) Dose of Colors Matte Liquid Lipstick
I love, love, love this liquid lipstick. I cannot get enough of this liquid lipstick, the formula is so creamy and glides on like butter on a hot pan. It really minimizes the appearance of lines in your lips and doesn't crack throughout the day. The color selection is also really nice and the nudes, oh the nudes. This is definetely my most preffered and used liquid lipstick out of my collection. (Just be sure to prep your lips before using this product for the best finish)
 
2) Tarteist Creamy Matte Lip Paint
Technically not a liquid lipstick but lets let it slide because it is so darn stunning! This ‘liquid’ lippie is everything I (and most likely you) have ever looked for. It is soo creamy and glides on to your lips so well. It will leave no streaks, flakes or accentuated creases (other than the ones that are naturally accentuated). The finish of this product is completely matte and I would describe the formula as a comfy matte. It feels weightless on your lips and is hydrating. I strongly advise you to purchase this product; all you need to do is look past the price tag!

 
3) Huda Beauty Liquid Matte Lipstick
This is such a beautiful matte liquid lipstick and one of my favorites. The formula is so thin and dries quickly but doesn't dry out your lips and sits very comfortably. The finish is extremely matte and it comes with a beautiful color range. Plus, the packaging is super sleek and for $20, it's definitely worth it!
 
4) OFRA Cosmetics Long Lasting Liquid Lipstick
 Words can’t explain how much I adore this product. It is so affordable yet the formula, finish, packaging, longevity and color range is truly surprising. There is really not much to say about this lipstick other than, purchase it!!
 

5) Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick
This is one of the products that don’t get enough hype.  It is a liquid lipstick with a beautiful formula; smooth, doesn’t dry your lips, non-accentuating. The longevity of this product is truly amazing; it will stay on for hours and can bear (slightly) oily food and drinks. However, it is pricey and has a limited color selection. 
 

6) Lime Crime Velvetines Liquid Matte Lipstick
There has been a lot of controversy about Lime Crime (which I will input later) but I think their products are great, especially this one. This lipstick has a very nice coverage (pigmentation) and does not dry out your lips. It glides on really nice onto your lips and coming from someone who has many lines and creases on their lips, it looks smooth on your lips and does not accentuate lines/creases. On the other hand, there is inconsistency in the quality of their products; some of their batches are patchy, streaky and dry. I believe that the situation is under control now but watch out for retailers who continue to sell the bad batches.
 












7) Colourpop Ultra Matte Lip
This product has quite some hype but in my opinion I don’t think it is worth it. Yes, the price is great and it has a beautiful color range but; it’s drying, it creases and the colors are very different to what they market it as. The last time I used one of the colourpop ultra matte lip’s, my lips started bleeding because it literally sucked the life out of my lips. This was even when I thoroughly prepped my lips and moisturized them. The only good that I have to say about this product is that it has really good longevity that, unfortunately, means it is a pain to remove. 













8) Kylie Cosmetics Matte Liquid Lipstick
I find that these liquid lipsticks are very overhyped. Yes, the packaging is amazing, the finish is super matte, the color range is amazing and its decently priced. But, it is so drying that it makes your lips sore, the stay power is pretty average and it is a pain to take off. Yes, it may be a good thing that it's difficult to take off as it means that it stays on for pretty long but my lips actually hurt from rubbing the liquid lipstick off. Another negative is that it's also streaky :(
 













9) Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lipstick
 In my opinion, this lipstick is so overhyped. I have never used a liquid lipstick that is as drying and line accentuating as this one. No matter how I use it, it makes my lips feel like the sahara desert and exaggerates my lines. At first, I thought it was my batch that was bad but i've tried a couple of other shades and it still turns out the same. It really doesn’t live up to the hype. This liquid lipstick may work for those with smoother lips as I do think that they look amazing on some youtubers/beauty gurus who have smooth, line-free lips. 














10) Jeffree Star Velour Liquid Lipstick
Honestly, even though this liquid lipstick has a great formula and color range I will not be hyping it, as some of you may know, Jeffree himself has said some things that I find extremely rude, hypocritical and disrespectful.
