Shiseido
This product was recommended by Alaina Kirkpatrick from Innovative PR
Using revolutionary Triple Gel Technology, this breakthrough formula allows high levels of pigment to converge with water for cushiony, comfortable, weightless color that stays put for six hours. This ultra-sleek lipstick bullet glides on to deliver bold, high-impact color in a single stroke. Available in 28 shades inspired by modern Tokyo. Dermatologist-tested.
Stila
This product was recommended by Stacy Caprio from AcneScar
Stila is one of the best luxury lipstick brands because it isn’t too heavy on your lips but also stays on all day without having to touch it up. Congress woman Alexandria Cortez is also famous for her bright red lips in the red Stila color, and has touted the brand’s effectiveness of staying put all day without needing to reapply or touch up the color.
Burt’s Bees
This product was recommended by Jessica Rose from Clean Beauty Gals
My favorite luxury lipstick that can be purchased at the drugstore is Burt’s Bees Satin lipstick which is made with 100% moisturizing ingredients. It contains castor oil, moringa extracts, and raspberry seed oil, which keep your lips soft and nourished for 8 hours after application.
I love that this lipstick is available in 18 fantastic shades (I own 7!) and that it provides intense color that suits many skin tones. Beeswax and vitamin E are some of the other ingredients in the formulation that will ensure your lips remain conditioned throughout the day. I would definitely recommend this lipstick to anyone looking for a moisturizing lipstick that is affordable and contains clean ingredients.
