Here’s Moira’s YBB Rating for mature skin

If your looking for a liquid lipstick that isn’t drying and has a weightless feel, this is the one for you. Stila’s Stay All Day Liquid Lipsticks have excellence full coverage with great color payoff. They work best if you apply one thin layer, which means they will last longer. The lipstick goes on smoothly and drys to a lightweight matte finish that doesn’t feel super drying. Stila’s lipsticks last all day without transferring unless you eat oily foods then you may notice a slight transfer. The only downside is that the shimmery shades and the lighter shades can crack a bit or settle in the lines of your lips and the color payoff isn’t as good as the vibrant colors. For the lighter shades, you may need to apply a slightly thicker layer.

Coverage: Full coverage, highly pigmented

Finish: Matte

Feel: Lightweight, not super drying

Transfer: No, only slight transfer if you eat oily foods

Lasting power: 12-hour wear

Worked as expected: Yes

YBB Rating 4 out of 5 stars

Here’s Natassia’s YBB Rating for youthful skin

As an avid lipstick lover and lipstick junkie, I have a vast collection of liquid lipsticks. I can be quite picky about the lipsticks I buy because I don’t like products that transfer, bleed, or require multiple touch-ups. Stila’s Stay All Day liquid lipsticks have been one of my top two lip products for years. They have a smooth, creamy formula, that is very pigmented. It drys to a beautiful matte finish that doesn’t feel drying and wears all day (I mean literally all day). I haven’t tried any of the shimmery shades though because I am not a fan of shimmery lipsticks. You only need a thin layer to get great coverage, and it doesn’t bleed or transfer. Side note, it does transfer a tiny bit if you eat oily foods, but if you blot it with a napkin your right as rain. The only con is that some of the nude colors can settle in the lines on your lips, and that bothers me, but the bright or dark colors wear perfectly. My favorite shade is Bacca a beautiful deep berry red, which you can see below.

Coverage: Highly pigmented, great coverage

Finish: Matte

Feel: Soft texture once dry, lightweight

Transfer: No

Lasting power: Looks almost the same as when first applied, 12-hour wear

Worked as expected: Yes

Pros: Looks beautiful all day, lightweight creamy formula, highly pigmented

Cons: Light shades don’t apply dry as smooth as darker shades
