There was a time when the premise of a liquid lipstick sent a shiver of fear into the hearts of even the most enthusiastic beauty fiend; pre-2017 they were a dry, mess of pigment that would be?impossible to get off but no longer. Liquid lipsticks have evolved, and when one landed on my desk this week, I was reminded how good they are – and how they don’t budge in this wet-yet-humid weather ?So, what’s all the fuss about? They slick on like a lipgloss, dry like a lipstick and stay on like a lip stain (minus the bad dry, flaky side effects). And thanks to their handy applicator, they can be applied sans lip liner. I’m a big fan; they glide on and can be applied fairly seamlessly on public transport – the ultimate idiot-proof test – and?will be looking to grow my collection over the coming weeks.

When it comes to applying liquid mattes, precision is key. This lipstick’s trowel-shaped applicator makes colouring inside?your lip lines a breeze. The high pigment also means any colour really pops when applied.
This Ultra HD Matte Lipcolour is plush, hydrating, and once applied, literally does not budge.
This is one for all lovers of a nude lip. From mauves?to beiges; if you can name a neutral nude, they have it.
In terms of the higher end options, MAC’s colour range is bold, bright and beautiful and lips stay saturated throughout the day.
What’s great about this one is the buildability of the formula – ?apply using your fingertips for a softer look or use the applicator and build up the coverage for an intense statement pout. Lips feel velvet smooth when it’s applied which is another nice plus.
