I have many drugstore liquid lippies in my collection, and some are better than others. Why not compose a list of the best non-drying drugstore liquid lipsticks! I am diving into each one of these lippies in terms of pigmentation, how they wear and feel, and why I am picking them.

Maybelline Superstay Matte Ink

They have a very unique formula. These are full-coverage and matte without any dryness at all. The formula really hugs, or grips to the lips. I think of it almost as a liquid latex, which is the best way that I can say it. This formula does feel tacky on the lips, which is most noticeable when you rub your lips together. It is not bad, and diminishes over time. These hold up well with eating or drinking. You need to be mindful in the way that you eat or drink for the best results with anything.

Nyx Soft Matte Lip Cream

As far as I know, I have all of the colors in my collection. This formula is not entirely full-coverage. You can build it up to suit your liking, but I cannot tell you that it will be as strongly vivid as the other lippies discussed here. But, these feel great on the lips, and they virtually cannot streak. These do fade gracefully with eating and drinking, and you can touch these up easily. I will also note that applying this formula is different because it is more dry, so you have to dip back into the tube more, but this does not equate to crusty lips which is why they are a best non-drying drugstore liquid lipsticks winner.

wet n wild megalast Liquid Catsuit Matte Lipstick

I have every shade ever made, including the limited edition shades. Typically, for special occasion makeup, this is the line that I turn to. If you ever wondered what was on my lips in college, including for graduation, it was this line. Do these feel drying on the lips? Yes, a bit, but it never bothers me that much. These are full-coverage and not streaky. I can trust these with eating and drinking, but they may need one minor touch-up during the day. A true sign of their lasting power is the challenge to wash these off.

    1. Yes!! I’m pretty sure I have every shade because I bought this NYX lip vault from Ross. I kinda regret doing that lol, just too many lippies for one set of lips. But yeah, they are awesome.

  1. I have yet to try the Wet ‘n’ Wild ones! In my opinion the least drying liquid lipsticks from the drugstore are by L’Oreal, the new ones that are like tints, I can’t remember the name because they don’t have it on the packaging, something like Signature matte maybe? I love the shade I Rule, I legit forget I have it on.

    1. I have not yet tried that line, but it sounds like I must! Thank you for adding your recommendation to my list here!
