I love a good lipstick and tried quite a few . I usually buy them on sale . What is affordable to you ? Dept stores and pharmacies can have great sales and you can even get good ones such as Revlon from $10 if you are lucky . I was being curious and bought an Ultra3 lipstick at a pharmacy for only $4. Not too bad and lasts till you eat. I bought Clinique chubby sticks on sale last year and these are great to make a lippy last longer . Test a few to see what you like as there are so many brands with different price ranges .

I’ve heard that MAC lipsticks are the best ever!

http://www.nutrimetics.com.au/tracybaker Great lipsticks that go on smooth and no nasty chemicals. Love them.

I find Avon good value and good moisture on my lips.

Nutri metics make great lipsticks.

use a stain with some gloss

I found that Nutrimetics lipsticks were really great for my lips, very moisturizing and the colour lasts for ages, even after eating and drinking. They’re not the cheapest, but the quality is good. Avon have some cheaper ones, but I haven’t used theirs in years to I don’t know what they’re like.

I like the Rimmel products. They keep their colour and aren’t too expensive.

What lipstick did you end up choosing and how did you go? Some make up prices are ridiculous. My Mum uses Avon lipstick.

there are some good comments here

Avon extra lasting lipstick is awesome

Rimmel is a good brand for this

Revlon are a great brand

I like to use Avon lipsticks. They are good for the price.

Well tough question as there are so many different brands out there.
The Rimmel London Kate Moss Lasting Finish Matte Lipstick range is really lovely.
more expensive but really lovely is the Bobbi Brown Sheer Lip color
Revlon Colorstay Ultimate Suede lipstick is really lovely
Good value is the Designer brands chubby lip crayon.
