Liquid Lipstick

Bold, Long-Wear Colour with Liquid Lipstick

Liquid lipsticks are designed for high-impact colour with longer wear than traditional lipstick formulas. Depending on the finish, they can create anything from a soft blurred lip to a more defined matte look. At ARC, this category includes options from Fenty Beauty, Dolce & Gabbana, Chanel, MAC Cosmetics, and Anastasia Beverly Hills.

Matte vs Velvet Liquid Formulas

Not all liquid lipsticks feel the same on the lips. Matte formulas tend to deliver stronger pigment and longer wear, while velvet or soft-matte textures create a more diffused finish with added flexibility and comfort. Fenty Beauty Fenty Icon Velvet Liquid Lipstick is designed to balance rich colour with a softer feel, while Chanel Rouge Allure Ink Matte Liquid Lip Colour offers lightweight pigment with a more fluid texture. Dolce & Gabbana Everkiss Liquidlip focuses on saturated colour with extended wear. 

How to Get the Best Finish from Liquid Lipstick

Liquid lipstick tends to work best on smooth, hydrated lips, especially with more matte finishes. Applying thin, even layers usually creates a cleaner finish and improves comfort throughout wear. For those who prefer more shine or flexibility, formulas like Chanel Rouge Allure Laque combine liquid colour with a glossier finish, while Allure Liquid Velvet offers a softer matte effect that feels lighter on the lips.
