Need your lipstick to stay put? The models at Talent Management are with you on that one. And with the cold weather sticking around, we not only need a longwearing lipstick, but a moisturising one too.

We know what you’re thinking; long-wearing formulas leave your lips feeling like the Sahara. But don’t fret just yet. The team here at Talent Management have trialled countless lipsticks over the years, and have stumbled across three gems that will stay put and keep your lips pumped full of moisture all in one go.

Nars Velvet Matte Lip Pencil, £ 17.00

For all the convenience of a pencil, with the application of a lipstick, this jumbo-sized crayon comes top of our list. It instantly coats lips with rich colour that truly does last for hours. And, despite a combination of unique silicones ensuring long-lasting wear, which usually goes hand in hand with drying out your lips, its special emollients and Vitamin E-enriched formula gives you a creamy and velvety matte finish. And for an added bonus, we’ve discovered that if you fancy adding lip balm on top for extra moisture and sheen, it won’t smudge an inch. With 19 shades to choose from, we recommend trying Forbidden Red, an exclusive brick red shade that is sure to put you in a brighter mood.

Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Pur Couture, £22.00

Dubbed ‘The Lipsticks for Heroines’, this product combines all of Yves Saint Laurent’s expertise, resulting in sublimely vibrant and silky lips. Its moisturising and protective texture gives you a comfortable silky finish, which is perfect for the cold months. Available in a range of unique shades inspired by the three YSL emblematic colours: Red, Fuchsia and Orange, try our favourite, No1 Le Rouge for the ultimate red lips. For a great day look, dilute the shade by applying sparingly with your fingertips, and for night, go dramatic and deep with sustained and intense colour by applying directly with the product. And don’t worry about the mishaps of layering up your long-wear lipstick, with this one you can apply coat on coat and still retain a balm-like feel.

MAC Pro Longwear Lustre Lipcolour, £16.00

Famous for their long lasting make-up, MAC’s duel-ended Pro Longwear product is perfect for those glamourous parties. Its long-wearing lightweight colour seamlessly combines with a mirror-finish top coat in a harmonious two-step application. And, true to MAC’s promise, its rich, lustrous, moisturising finish is exceptionally comfortable on the lips – all without shifting, transferring, feathering or smudging. In comparison with the regular Pro Longwear, the Lustre Pro has a slight glitter effect in the gloss, making your lips more dazzling than ever. Betwixt is our recommendation; its rich copper-red with pearl provides a strikingly unique colour. Wear with minimal makeup on the eyes and face for maximum impact.
