First we were obsessed with lip gloss then we started going back to lipsticks but kinda missed the easy liquid application of a gloss, then came the liquid lipstick. What’s a liquid lipstick? What does it do and which one do I need? Usually those matte drying lipsticks are a favorite of maybe mom who doesn’t want the hassle of reapplying lipsticks all day. But times have changed and those superdrying longwear lipstick days are over. Not your mom’s lipstick, these liquid lipsticks are causing a major stir in the beauty world. You’ve been warned, they are addictive. You literally put it on easily just like a gloss, it dries on like a lipstick and stays on all day long. Since there’s an abundance of colors out there, here is a list of our favorite shades you can count on.

Chanel Rouge Allure Colour & Shine Lip Gloss in #17 Supreme is a nonsticky, perfect pink for summer.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lipstick in Vamp has such a soft application for a bold dark burgundy.

Try YSL Rouge Pur Couture Vernis À Lèvres Glossy Stain in color 8 Orange de Chine: it's a gorgeous wet looking orange but not sticky like a gloss.

Too Faced Melted Matte Liquified Long Wear Matte Lipstick in Sell Out is a great matte pinkish brown go to.
Sephora Collection Cream Lip Stain in #1 Always Red is a worry free classic red and the best way to wear a red that won’t get all over the place.
