Get ready to pucker up confidently with the perfect kiss-proof pout!

The Best Types of Lipstick for Kiss Proof Lips

Each of the following types of lipstick is a tool in your arsenal for achieving that long-lasting lip look you desire. Whether you prefer the velvety finish of cream lipstick, the intense color of liquid lipstick, or the precision of lip liner, you can tailor your lip makeup routine to suit your style and make your lips truly kiss-proof.

Bullet Lipstick

A good lipstick sticks to your lips and nothing else– not your glass, not your teeth, and not your partner. Not all lipsticks fit the bill, but when you find one that lasts, it will hold a permanent place in your makeup collection.

If you want to avoid smudges, look for bullet lipsticks that are designed to stay put, like the Revlon ColorStay Suede Ink™ Lipstick. Formulated with a built-in primer that extends wear and prevents transfer, it has a matte finish and up to 8HR wear.

Liquid Lipstick

If you want a precise lipstick application that doesn’t budge, then liquid lipstick is the way to go. It offers a much more precise, sharp-lined application than the traditional, softer lines of cream lipstick. Once your liquid lipstick dries, it isn’t going anywhere. Revlon’s ColorStay Ultimate ™ Liquid Lipstick, for example, offers a 24HR wear time that keeps your lips looking amazing all day and all night.

Lip Liner

If you want to add some depth to your lip look, lip liner can help you create gradients and emphasize different parts of your lip. It can accentuate your lip shape and help your lipstick stay on. Lip liner, like the Revlon ColorStay™ Lip Liner, makes it easier to apply lipstick and gives the lipstick something to stick to. You can opt for a shade that matches your natural lip color, or you can color-match your liner to your lipstick, which works better for bold shades.

Lip liner is an extra step in your makeup routine, so if you prefer a more minimalist experience, it might not be your favorite. But if you want a little extra definition on your lips, lip liner is a great way to achieve that.

Popular Lipstick Looks Right Now

While some lipstick trends will always be popular (the classic red lip, for instance, has been popular for thousands of years), there are always new and changing looks to explore. Following these trends isn’t just fun– it also allows you to express your personal style and adapt your makeup to the ever-evolving world of fashion.

Natural Lip Color

Natural-looking lipstick shades are very popular right now, especially for no-makeup makeup looks. Shades that match your natural lip color add a polished, professional look to your makeup.

Your ideal natural lip color should be just slightly darker than your skin, with a hint of pink and brown for extra color. Try not to go too light with your lipstick color, which can leave your skin looking washed out and makes your lips look somewhat unnatural. The goal of this lipstick look is your natural lips, but just slightly enhanced.

Matte Finishes

Another popular lipstick trend is the matte finish. Matte lipstick comes in many shades; what sets it apart is its finish. Unlike a gloss or shiny finish, matte lipstick offers a velvety, non-reflective texture that provides a sophisticated, transfer-proof look.

If you want to wear matte lipstick, look for ones that contain ingredients that help keep lips hydrated, preventing dryness and flakiness. For example, the Revlon Super Lustrous™ The Luscious Mattes Lipstick contains Agave, Moringa Oil, and Cupuacu Butter to smooth and hydrate instantly.

Bright and Bold

If you want to try a bright, bold lip color, good news– your time has come. Bright lipstick colors are extremely popular right now, especially pink. You can find beautifully bright colors in all types of lipstick, so choose the one that feels the most comfortable on your lips. This trend is perfect for the person who wants to live boldly. Don’t be afraid to experiment with different shades.

If you want to wear bright lipstick, consider planning the rest of your makeup look around the statement lip. You could take a more subdued route with the rest of your makeup and let your lips really stand out, or your lips could be just one piece of a daring, over-the-top makeup look complete with fun eyeshadow and graphic liner. Makeup is a fun avenue for creativity and self-expression, so don’t be afraid to take chances on a hot new lipstick color.

Lipstick Looks That Last

If you want lipstick with staying power, you have lots of options. Cream lipstick, liquid lipstick, and lip liner can all contribute to a lipstick look that lasts.
