The best long-lasting lipglosses

Marie Claire Beauty Academy: Skincare

Lipglosses get bad press for their staying power, but the newest formulas last just as long as traditional lipsticks, and have the added benefit of continual moisturisation.

First of all, look for a non-sticky gloss; those that are too tacky will just stick to your hair and smear everywhere other than where you want it.

If you like an ultra-shiny finish, Lancôme Color Fever Gloss, £17, is the perfect choice. Layer it up for a fuller lip look and added staying power. (We also love the special Roses editions, which are available exclusively at Lancome.co.uk this summer.)

Other glosses worth spending your pennies on include Dior's Dior Addict Ultra-Gloss Reflect, £15.50, with its lip-plumping properties and catwalk-worthy range of colours, and Chantecaille Brilliant Gloss.
