"Lip lacquer" has a lot of possible meanings, but we're choosing to define it here as a unicorn of a product that somehow manages to combine a) the shine of a gloss, b) the color payoff of a lipstick and c) the wear time of a stain. It's a difficult balance to achieve — but unlike actual unicorns, they do, in fact, exist.
So, if it's shiny, long-lasting lip products you seek, read on. With lip lacquer picks spanning from budget drugstore faves to buzzy mid-range picks to ultra-luxe high-end splurges, we've totally got you covered.
Is this lip lacquer magic or something? It's comfy and light as air on your lips, the color payoff is insane and it leaves behind a gorgeous, even stain as it fades. Plus, the cheery bright shade range is perfect for that "just ate a popsicle" look and the packaging is next-level adorable.
With a mirror-like finish, this high-shine, high-impact lip lacquer is quite the stunner. It wears well for hours (though be sure to prep with a lip balm beforehand).
This long-lasting lip color has opaque coverage that's oh-so-shiny. The deeper shades fade to a nice stain and, while sticky, the gloss itself is longwearing and hydrating.
This lacquer ink imparts lips with shine that lasts and we can't get enough of the shade range. Each color is high-impact and dramatic in its own special way.
