Best For: Long-Lasting Shine
SuperStay Vinyl Ink Long Lasting Liquid Lipstick, £5.39 (was £11.99) | Maybelline

Best For: A Budget Plumper
Plumping Lip Liner, £2.49 | Catrice
This liner shapes and defines while giving lips a subtle boost. The texture is smooth and comfortable, helping lipstick to last longer and prevent feathering. A clever option if you like your liner to do more than just define.

Best For: Hydration With Shine
Lifter Gloss Hydrating Lip Gloss, £8.99 | Maybelline
Hyaluronic acid makes this gloss as hydrating as it is glossy. The oversized applicator coats lips in one swipe, leaving them looking juicy and plumped with zero stickiness. It layers well over lipstick but is just as good worn solo.
