It’s no surprise Dresher says the same. “It really makes makeup resilient,” she tells Glamour, adding that an alternative for sensitive skin-types is MAC Prep + Prime Fix. “It also does a really good job at making makeup last,” she says.

MAC Retro Matte Liquid Lip Color
Commerce editor Malia Griggs’s must-have lippie? MAC Retro Matte Liquid Lip Color in Dance With Me, due to its long-lasting matte formula and serious color payoff.
Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Fenty Icon Velvet Liquid Lipstick in the MVP
It’s no surprise a fellow musician Rihanna made sure to budge-proof her beauty line’s lipstick. Glamour editors are huge fans of Fenty lip products, and we’re pleased to say that the brand’s cult-favorite liquid lipstick is no exception. Social media manager Jazmin Gathers’s is a huge fan of Fenty’s Velvet Liquid Lipstick in the MVP, a gorgeous blue-based red shade with a velvet matte finish that’s super long-wearing.
Violette_fr Petal Bouche in Amour Fou
Tannenbaum also swears by Violette_fr’s Pet Bouche in Amour Fou, and it’s not hard to see why. Highly pigmented, dramatic, matte, and long-lasting, if you want to make a serious statement, this lipstick will do the trick.
Nars Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Dragon Girl
Look, you can’t write about makeup for blasting Taylor Swift—or really, even lipstick—without at least nodding to what she wears. So while Swift has been rumored to wear MAC Cosmetics Ruby Woo, she has also definitely worn Nars Red Lipstick in shade Dragon Girl, warranting its mention. Swift was even photographed holding it ahead of the 2014 Met Gala. Do with that info what you will!
Now that you’re an expert in all things budge-proof beauty, you’re free to blast TTPD accordingly. Tears and all!
