Ravenous for Red Lipstick: Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick

January 31st, 2019 by Karen 14 Comments

Valentine’s Day 💖 is right around the corner, so this is a purr-fect time to celebrate that most sanguine of seductresses — scarlet! The Ravenous for Red Lipstick series features the crimsons I’m currently cuckoo for.

Your makeup fun fact of the day: Beso, as in the name of Stila’s stunning Beso lipstick, means “kiss” in Spanish.

MWAH!

I actually kissed everyone in sight while I was wearing this lipstick yesterday.

OK, maybe not everyone… I didn’t think the grumpy checkout lady at Target would appreciated it, but Tabs got a smattering of kisses on the top of his head (right between the ears is the sweet spot), Connor got a few tummy kisses, and El Hub got a few kisses on the cheek.

Matte true red Stila Beso liquid lipstick left a whisper of crimson behind, so FYI, Beso isn’t kiss-proof, but it is long-lasting enough to survive two cups of coffee, a snack and a meal.

I think it fades very well, as a matter of fact, and it doesn’t leave that gross line of product on your bottom lip as it wears off (you know the one).

Kisses!

Most liquid lipsticks vacuum every last molecule of moisture outta your lips, but this one is downright comfortable. I wore it all day long yesterday and there was absolutely no sign of flakes on my kisser at the end of the day.

NOT EVEN ONE!

The creamy feather-light formula is thinner than Maybelline Super Stay Ink in Dancer (but not as light as the NARS Powermattes), and I can barely feel it at all.

Have you ever worn the MAC Retro Mattes? If so, do you like them? If you do, you’ll probably dig Stila Beso.

  • It’s unflavored, although there is a slight floral fragrance, which dissipates quickly.
  • Highly pigmented, so expect 100% coverage
  • The precise doe-foot applicator means you won’t need lip liner.
  • I get about six hours of wear time.
  • It doesn’t settle into my lip lines, yay!

The short take? Beso is so fabulous that I could 💋 kiss it! Smooch it at Sephora, Ulta or online.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    That left over bottom lip line is so annoying!

      Hi Jessica,

      The gold hoops are ancient; I got them from Macy’s years ago on sale. The sweatshirt is by Honolua Surf Co. and while they don’t have this exact sweatshirt online, here’s something similar with a hood.

    How would you compare these to the Smashbox liquid lipsticks? The Smashbox formula is one of my favorites, but I feel like the Stila line has better shade options.

    I love the pop of color; it looks great on you, and it’s a nice contrast to the grey Bay Area weather 🙁

    I remember reading a while ago that you felt a little unsure about growing out your greys… but on that last picture, I think the grey hairs add a STUNNING contrast to the red lip and you look fabulous!

    This is the awesome red lippie Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wears! Definitely an endorsement.

    YAY my favorite red lipstick series is back! Love bright red! I tried a Stila liquid lipstick when they first came out and while I didn’t have a problem with the formula, the smell/taste was awful for me. Maybe they’ve changed it since then?

    Hi Karen! I’ve been reading your blog for years, and love it! When you first said you were stopping hair color, I said to myself noooooo! But oh my goodness, these photos of you are gorgeous. You look beautiful. Stunning. You are doing a great job, and we all appreciate you! Amy H

    Great review Karen,

    The vivid red colour is so stunning on you! I had a quick look at the Stay All Day ingredients and I’ve got to say I’m impressed! I love that there’s no ricinoleic acid included in the ingredients (it’s a well known allergen).

    Thanks again for the great review and fab pictures – can’t wait to get my hands on this liquid lipstick,

    Laura.

    Your grays look wonderful! I stopped dyeing my brown/black hair last year too and have been pleasantly surprised by the results. I love my grays, and I love the freedom of not worrying about covering them up – very liberating. And love that we’re not exposing ourselves to more chemicals than needed. This Stila Beso looks amazing on you!

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
