If there is anything you wanted to know about the best lipstick brands in the world today, you would find it in this article. Why did we decide to speak about this topic?

Because lipstick is a part of your everyday look, an image of a person, which plays a big role in selling yourself as a reliable and trustful partner in whatever you plan to do.

People usually think about proper clothes and accessories for everyday life and different situations. But what about cosmetics? We believe that nowadays it is one of the main details to accompany the idea of who you have chosen to be that morning. Let’s take a look at the list we prepared below.

You will find not only the names of the most famous and qualitative cosmetics producers but also necessary data such as cost, main features, manufacturer details, country of origin, warranty, etc.

If you like a big range with special colors and different finishes, shades and consistency, you are already a fan of this brand. One of the most popular Maybelline lipstick collections is the Creamy Matte range, which makes an effect of a semi-matte finish on your lips and looks gorgeous. It’s like a compromise for those people who don’t like fully matte lips but want to follow trends: The Creamy Matte will remain on your lips for a while for two hundred ninety-nine dollars per item.

The other nice choice is a Matte Ink Liquid collection, which can be found in the Maybelline Superstore. This range is good for those who don’t want to feel anything on their lips or is ready for a light cover. The cost is about six hundred fifty dollars for 10 ml. The company promises that it will remain on your lips not less than 16 hours. It can be less, but anyway the quality and the touch of this lipstick are so soft and we believe it will cost you nothing to spend some time to put it again on your lips. Moreover, this collection has a wide range of 33 colors for every type of skin.

If you are busy all day long and don’t want to think much about the quality of your make-up, you should find cosmetics that will support your rhythm of life. It’s not very motivating to monitor your look every hour when you could get ready once and for all. So, we are sure, that you, girls, need the best and durable lip cover that will stay with you during the day, sustainable to food, water and any other activities. In terms of durability I would choose the Kissable Liquid by Oh My Glam brand.

Your lips will stay hydrated and well-maintained all day long so you can easily forget that you even have a lipstick. The pigments in the Kissable Liquids are strong and last for hours, moreover, you can find a perfect match to your skin type among the range. However, for us the best part is that it contains vitamins (A to E) and smells good thanks to fruit extracts. All this makes your lips look healthy, beautiful and attractive. When you buy the product (the price is affordable, by the way), you get three items: primer, lipstick and stain. Oh My Glam made a really good job with this range.

Do you want to find a lipstick that will mix classic and modern trends in the most amazing and elegant way? No one else could do that mix so pure. All lipstick shades are light and easy to remove in case you want to change it to the other wonderful color in that wide range. All of you know this unforgettable Coco touch in each detail: design, consistency, smell, quality. All Coco products can make you feel a real lady, full of grace and refined beauty. The name of the range we are speaking about is Rouse Cocoa and the cost is about thirty-five dollars.

It’s hard to choose because all the Chanel lines are gorgeous. Do you remember Le Rouge Duo Ultra one? This range is famous for a two steps system of putting the cover on your lips: you should use the first color in one end, then after a minute the gloss on the other end. This technology helps the lipstick remain on your lips all day long and needs a special remover as well. The cost is thirty-eight dollars and the range contains 38 shades.

One more Coco Chanel product we want to pay attention to is a Rouge Lovan Ink collection. A durable and attractive lip product with 31 different classy colors. The cost is also thirty-eight dollars.

An additional list of long-lasting and affordable lipsticks

All lip products we were speaking about above are more or less expensive. And if you plan to buy something under ten dollars, for example, you can turn to several stores to find them: it can be Walmart, CVS or Target and any other malls. Be sure that there are several pretty good items to choose that will serve you with a high quality of cover. Whether you need matte, semi-matte, satin or glossy effect, you can search among the following brands: ColorPop, NYX, BH Cosmetics, Revlon and Iterative lipstick (12 shades).

The last advice is about a special feature of matte lipsticks: if you buy one, you don’t need to buy a lip liner as it’s working perfectly without any complements. For other products use any lip liner to prevent the ink running.
