Sometimes, we all need a little extra reassurance that our lip makeup won’t fade away. “Transfer-resistant lipstick just stays on your lips and won’t even transfer to your glass of water,” explains professional makeup artist Emily Gray. She adds that these are “self-styling lipstick formulas,” so they won’t come off your lips anyway.
