They’re not sold as a liquid lipstick, but Illamasqua’s intense glosses may as well be, and I think they’re fantastic, great colours, great staying power and a really nice glossy finish.
I have to agree with you! I have an intense lipgloss in move and I love it. It looks wonderful, pretty wearable shade (I wear it at work) has great staying power and its not very sticky.
I love the Lorac liquid lipsticks! They are not sticky or dying, last at least 4 hours, and come in really pretty colors!
I really like the NYX Soft matte lip creams. I have the colors Addis Ababa (hot pink) and Tokyo (bubblegum pink). ๐
I like NYX matte creams too! Very dramatic and affordable! Monte Carlo is my fave!
I’m with you guys on these. I have four and I LOVE THEM, I would happily buy more. I dont love the taste, but I can get over it for such great color and feel.
I’m a big fan too ๐ I have Amsterdam, Monte Carlo, and Sao Paulo (my fave, for the color and also because I used to live in Sampa ๐ ) My sister has Tokyo and London.
it’s gotta be sleek pout paint. it’s like occ lip tars but cheaper. best colors too!
I gotta give props to L’Oreal Infallible. I never would have tried it, but then I won some Beyonce Red in a Temptalia giveaway. That stuff is UNREAL! It applies smoothly and wears for hours without drying out my lips. I use it for theater and special occasions all the time when I need a KAPOW! red lip.
L’Oreal HIP liquid lipcolors are also fantastic. I have two of them. They apply beautifully, have lots of color, and smell like caramel! Yum!
Dior Rouge Creme De Gloss.
I so agree! I can’t believe they’re discontinuing these ๐
Chanel rouge allure laque all the way! Beautiful depth to the colours, opaque coverage, last forever and feel comfortable on the lips!
I agree!
Yes Yes and YES!
A to the MEN!
TOTALLY AGREE !
I just bought one in Phoenix. LOVE it!
My two favorites are Chanel Rouge Allure Laque and OCC Lip Tars. MAC’s Lip Mix is a great formula, too, but I think they’ve discontinued it.
Lip Mixes are still around, their just sold at pro stores now! Love them too!
i LOVE korres liquid lipstick but its insanely overpriced. they are so moisturizing and stay on forever
absolutely agree!! i’ve always wondered why you don’t hear much about them but it may be the price point. quite expensive but super nice to wear and long lasting, too. ๐
for day were MAC’s Cremesheen is my favorite, the wear really well for a moister rich formula, for long wear I like OCC Lip Tars. ๐
Chanel Rouge Allure Laque all the way… loooooooooooove them
I do NOT care much for the ones Bare Escentuals makes. I have a pink and a red: I LOVE the pink, but the red goes EVERYWHERE when I try to wear it.
Chanel’s Rouge Allure Laque! I’m smitten with Dragon (which is apparently your go-to special occasion red, as well). ๐
the only ones I’ve used are the NYX soft matte lip creams; I have milan and antwerp
the only one to work for me is stila’s long wear liquid lip color in fiery…
hands down, it’s Chanel Rouge Allure Laque. I just wish they have more colors…
Chanel Rouge Allure Laque.
bare escentuals pretty amazing lipcolor! i like the colors free will and charisma, theyre so creamy, pigmented, glossy, moisturizing, AND LONG LASTING, some even consider them lip stains because even after eating they stay on pretty well
โข Chanel Rouge Allure Laque for its superb quality. And hello? Dragon is the most stunning red I ever witnesses. My favorite are Dragon, Ming, Santal and Stunt (which btw, why it has to be a limited edition?).
โข Korres Raspberry Antioxidant Liquid Lipstick for its moisturizing factor on my lips. I only have Natural & Berry and loving it!
โข MยทAยทC Kissable Lipcolour for its variety and surprisingly almost every MยทAยทC’s lipstick/lipgloss are drying on me but this one is an exception. I can’t believe MยทAยทC didn’t make this permanent. Super, Flaunting It and Temper Tantra are my favorite.
Chanel Rouge Allure Laque all the way! Me and my mom swear by them. The formula is incredibly luxurious and comfortable to wear and it comes in the most perfect stunning colors. It’s kind of pricy but totally worth it.
Chanel Rouge Allure Laque.
MAC lip lacquers from awhile back were THE definition of a liquid lipstick, to me. They were fantastic-so thick!
also the kissable lipcolours were pretty sweet as well but still a bit thick for a “liquid” but they deserve a nod.
A more affordable option would be Avon Smooth Velvet Lip Color. They are SO opaque. They’re like a really thick gloss with a hint of shine and dewiness.
CHANEL ROUGE ALLURE LAQUE!
the Rouge Allure Laques by Chanel have got to be the best liquid lipsticks I’ve ever tried…!
Max Factor Lipfinity ! (But, Max Factor has been discontinued in the US), I still have my fav color, get it online (;, but very expensive!!!
OCC Lip Tar has the amazing color range, but I actually prefer NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams for ease of application. I think they feather less, too. However, I find them very hard to buy online, as the NYX site has terrible color swatches and doesn’t give you any textual description to aid you.
Must try the Chanel…..
NYX soft matte lip cream in Tokyo. It feels silky and smells nicely too.
OCC Lip Tar, ftw!
I love Maybelline’s 24/7. Its a longwear color, but its amazing and stays on (while looking great the whole time)!
NARS lip laquers! I especially LOVE Chealsea Girls, it’s the perfect pink color!
Ellis Faas lip products! Opaque but can be sheered and lasts practically the whole day!
I also love the packaging design – I usually hate twist products but this one actually works!
Absolutely, positively the BEST๎!!! I bought my fave colors & now they’re being discontinued :~(((! Hopefully, 3CC will b able to successfully recreate my “absolute need” shades. If not, it may take some effort, but I’ll find something close enuf๎๎๎
