Time and again, NYX proves hardworking products needn’t break the bank – and few liquid lipsticks have gotten quite as much praise as this one.

BEST FOR HYDRATION
Air Matte Lip Colour, 104 AED | NARS
A classic matte liquid lipstick, this goes on like a cream, before drying down to a velvet matte finish. Regardless of whether you’re eating or drinking, this won’t budge – but while it’s on your lips, it won’t cause dryness, flakiness, or texture either. Instead, it helps the lips feel smooth and healthy – plus, there are so many flattering shades to choose from.

BEST FOR A SUBTLE TINT
Almost Lipstick In 'Black Honey', 135 AED | Clinique
While this colour may look bold in the tube, it actually delivers an incredibly natural flush to the lips – just ask TikTok. With an effect that looks like you’ve just eaten a handful of cherries, the stain-like finish is both long-lasting and nourishing – pop it on in the morning, and you’ll still be able to see the colour come evening.
