Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick

Ever wish your lipstick can stay all day or even half the day? Well, Stila may have the answer to your wish. Their Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick is long-lasting and even though it does fade a bit as the hours pass, it doesn’t fade completely. It can take me all the way from morning to lunch time and even after I’ve had my meal, there is still a hint of colour.

This has a creamy-matte, full-coverage formula. It goes on like a lip gloss but once it dries and it dries quite fast, it looks more like a matte lipstick. It claims to have a hydrating formula as it’s enriched with vitamin E and avocado oil but I found it rather drying on my lips so I had to apply lip gloss over it or if you prefer, use lip balm.

Here are some swatches:-

As you can see, the colours are generally very vibrant and intense as is the sample which I am reviewing (Fiore or “flower” in Italian). Fiore is a very bright pink which will really make your lips stand out so I’d go easy on the eyeshadows with this one.

Although the colour pay-off is superb, just one layer and it’s fully opaque, I wish it was more hydrating as I feel like my lips are chapping with this one on. Perhaps it’s the long stay formula which makes it so drying. I’d prefer a more hydrating formula even if it means shorter staying power.

Each Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick retails at RM71 (available in 10 shades).
