If there's one thing we learned from the first New Year's special of Friends, it's that you have to be prepared for a kiss that evening (even if it's from your best friend). Whether you're hoping to get a peck from your date or even just the puppy that's been running around the loft of the party you decided to stop by, you're going to want to a lipstick that lasts.
Before you pack your purse for your New Year's Eve festivities, consider bringing along one of these long-wearing formulas — the ones that will last you through that midnight kiss, and all the way through to 2019.
YSL Tatouage Couture Liquid Matte Lip Stain ($37) dries down to be impenetrable. It goes on with maximum opacity and staying-power, despite it's super thin consistency, for all-day wear.
Ask any beauty editor what their first impression of the Maybelline SuperStay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick ($10) was. The answers will be variations of "It does not move," or "It won't come off!" This lipstick will last through anything from back-to-back beverages and midnight makeout sessions; but be warned: it has grip. You might need a little help taking this one off.
Fenty Beauty Stunna Lip Paint ($24) swipes on perfectly with its unique, ultra-precise doe-foot. The liquid formula dries down matte and won't budge or transfer during quick pecks or lengthy (and hot) kisses.
Sephora Collection Cream Lip Stain Liquid Lipstick ($14) will stay on all night while wearing comfortably with its silky texture that never feels too drying.
ColourPop Strike Twice Mini Liquid Lipstick Kit ($18) is a set of five nude and pinky-nude toned lipsticks that won't transfer as soon as they've dried down.
Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick ($22) in its shimmer formula is both festive with its finely-milled flecks of glitter and long-lasting.
Huda Beauty Liquid Matte Lipstick in Showgirl ($20) is a metallic pink, liquid lipstick that feels has a finish that is so lightweight, you'll forget you left the house with it on.
