Too Faced La Crème Color Drenched Lipstick There is such a thing as lip color being too creamy — if the lipstick is too soft, a smearing situation is pretty much guaranteed. This one, however, strikes just the right balance between too soft and perfectly hydrating. The vibrant shades last all day without turning dry, and oils, peptides, and flower extracts keep lips looking smooth and plump. $22 at TooFaced.com![3]()
Kosås Weightless Lip Color It's not an exaggeration to say that this formula is so light on lips, you might actually forget you're wearing anything at all.
