Reviewers say that CoverGirl Outlast All-Day Lip Color is smudge-proof and can withstand almost anything, including drinking, eating and kissing. The color lasts up to eight hours but can be incredibly drying, a fact that turns many users off. The moisturizing topcoat can be applied as often as needed, however, to make the lipstick more comfortable and to provide extra shine. If you prefer something a bit less drying, experts say that MAC Matte Lipstick (*Est. $15) has strong staying power as well. CoverGirl Outlast is available in 41 shades.
