11 Best Long-Lasting Lipsticks, Tested And Reviewed By Editors

Unlike older matte formulas that feel overly drying or settle into fine lines, today's lipsticks are smarter: they glide on smoothly, resist smudging, and hold up through meals and everything in between. So, team Cosmo sought out to find the very best long-lasting lipsticks—from liquid lipsticks to shiny finishes, there's something on this list for everyone.

Ahead, the best long-lasting lipsticks tested and approved by Cosmo editors that truly last and provide bold pigment from day to night.

Why we love it: Charlotte Tilbury's Matte Revolution Lipstick gives you a soft matte finish that never dries out on your lips. The creamy formula glides on effortlessly, providing rich pigment on its own or layering beautifully under a gloss for some extra shine. And the iconic Pillow Talk is the ultimate "your lips but better" shade on any skin tone and has nothing short of impressive staying power.

One Cosmo editor says: ⁘Not to be completely basic, but Pillow Talk is iconic for a reason! While I'm not usually a matte girl, this is the exception thanks to its non-drying formula. The hue is the perfect balance of neutral with a touch of pink, making it perfect for everyday wear. I wore it to our office holiday party which featured many drinks and slices of pizza to the mouth, and the pigment was still strong at the end of the night.⁘—JASMINE HYMAN, ASSISTANT BEAUTY EDITOR
