Getting the perfect color and keeping it on smudge free can get tricky, but picking the right product is just as important as priming your lips and sealing the color with a touch of translucent power.
Layering color over a nude lip liner is also a good idea, but if you really want long lasting wear without any smudging or feathering, try one of the best smudge proof lipsticks. They’ll stay put and keep the perfect shade on your lips for longer.

Available in 35 shades, the Infallible Le Rouge lipstick delivers high-impact color, while also keeping your lips moisturizer and proving a long lasting wear with no smudging.
