Liquid lipsticks are all the craze now. I’ve tried a bunch of different liquid lipsticks and finishes, some are higher end and some are from the drugstore and the perfect in between, the Sephora cream lip stains.
I actually tried these way before they were popular. I think their most talked about shade the 01 Always Red was my first one that I bough. And then I had to have some vampy shades for fall and picked up Endless Purple and Dark Berry which unfortunately got discontinued, not sure why cause they’re very pretty shades.
They recently added more shades to the line and now they have total of 14 shades to choose from. The formula of these is very nice, it’s not very liquidy, it just has the perfect consistency that makes application very easy. It dries pretty quickly but it allows you to build up and touch up if you need to. The formula is not kiss proof but it is very long lasting. I can get around 8 hours of wear in a day. They also fade nicely, meaning you don’t get that awkward ring in between your lips.
The doe foot applicator is the right size so it makes it very easy with application. A tip with liquid lipsticks, if you want to get a precise line you can use a little bit of concealer on a lip brush and just carve out the edges.
The shades that I have in my collection are: 01 Always Red, 10 Mandarin Muse, 03 Strawberry Kissed, 09 Watermelon Slice and the last two that are discontinued in Endless Purple and Dark Berry.
Swatches L to R: 01 Always Red, 10 Mandarin Muse, 03 Strawberry Kissed, 09 Watermelon Slice, Endless Purple and Dark Berry

I really like the Sephora Cream Lip Stains. They’re affordable, they wear nicely and have a great color selection. They have some fun shades for summer so If you’re looking for a long wearing matte liquid lipstick definitely check them out.
