The Best Long-Lasting Lipsticks In Australia

8 Long-Lasting Lipsticks For Budge-Proof, Bleed-Proof Colour

We swear some of our lipsticks have commitment issues – even if we’ve prepped and primed our pouts to the best of our abilities, sometimes the colour itself just isn’t willing to stick around.

Anyone who drinks, eats, talks or breathes throughout the day will be well aware: your lipstick often doesn’t last beyond your morning caffeine hit. It’s a damn shame, too, because nothing else holds quite as much polishing power as a slick of your favourite statement shade.

You’re in luck though – we happen to have sampled more than our fair share of formulas over the years, and we’ve found the best long-lasting lipsticks on the market along the way…

Chanel Rouge Allure Luminous Intense Lip Colour

The first formula to prove to us that lipsticks can in fact have long-term relationships? This sheeny-finish Chanel colour. Loaded with sweet almond oil and a nifty adherent ester, it keeps pigment in place all day long.

Tom Ford Lips & Boys Lip Colour

Don’t let this bullet’s precious miniature status fool you – what’s not small is the amount of wear you’ll get out of the colour, thanks to its hydrating Brazilian murmur butter blend.

$52 at David Jones

Burberry Kisses Lipstick

Burberry Kisses is designed to make an impact - and that it does. With its satin finish and long-lasting formula, the lip colour has an intense pigment that creates coverage that stays put. Better yet, the hyaluronic acid-enriched formula adds a nourishing and hydrated finish.

Dior Rouge Dior Couture Finish Refillable Lipstick

Dior lipstick formulas have always been durable, but this floral extract-enriched pick takes long-wearing to a new level. It looks (and lasts) like a lacquer, but feels like you’re wearing nothing but a comfy balm.

$59 at Sephora

Tarte Sea Colour Splash Lipstick

If it’s something buttery smooth but sturdy you’re searching for, this creamy bullet is your guy – it coats lips in conditioning colour that won’t feather, bleed or fade (even after that third coffee or sneaky snack break).

$32 at Sephora

Guerlain KissKiss Shaping Cream Lip Colour Lipstick

The good news is that this hydrating hyaluronic acid-infused colour smells like vanilla. The bad (but really even better) news is that you will only get one whiff daily, because reapplication won’t be necessary.

$56 at Sephora

Givenchy Le Rouge Luminous Satin Matte Lipstick

A matte so moisturising you might just forget you’re wearing it, the incredible level of one-swipe-only colour coverage it provides is surpassed only by the length of time it lasts on lips.

$61 at Sephora

Bobbi Brown Crushed Lip Colour

A fade and feather-proof beeswax-powered balm formula, this lush lippy leaves lips velvety soft, offering comfort and colour in one hit. The pigment is buildable, but whatever boldness level you choose, know that it’s here to stay.
