Lipsticks have been women’s best friend since a long time now. Be it a bold red shade for the date night or a nude shade for everyday office, lipsticks have always helped us to add an extra lustrous tint to our beauty. But nowadays for our everyday styling a lipstick that stays up to maximum 6-7 hours is becoming quite essential as it is quite a discomfort for women working in a nine-to-five office to touch up their lipsticks every hour. But not only long-lasting, the lipsticks should not create a hole in the pocket so the ‘oh-so-lipstick-obsessed’ women can fill up their make-up boxes with different shades of them—from bold red to everyday nudes.
