Why Anastasia Liquid Lipstick Is A Must-Have

Nothing took the beauty world by storm in 2015 like liquid lipsticks. Almost overnight, every company added a liquid lipstick formula to their collection and everyone began to scramble to find their perfect shade and formulation. If you've been debating dropping a few dollars on a quality liquid lipstick, you may be wondering "Are Anastasia Liquid Lipsticks worth it?" I'm here to help you answer that question.

If you're not familiar with the popular product, here's a quick rundown: Liquid lipsticks are long wearing formulas that go on wet like a gloss but dry ultra matte, like a lipstick. They won't transfer like a typical lipstick formula, but they are also significantly more drying than a gloss or even a typical matte lipstick.

Anastasia Beverly Hills was one of the first companies to release a 19-shade liquid lipstick line in January 2015, and today the collection has expanded to 20 shades that literally cover every color of the rainbow. On the site, ABH describes their lipsticks as an "ultra-saturated liquid formula delivers an intense shot of matte pigment in one easy swipe. A single application gives you smear-resistant coverage that stays put for hours." Each shade retails for $20.
