There's nothing like putting on a bit of lippy - it makes you feel good, it brightens up your face and you're never fully dressed without a red lip (at least if you're heading on a night out). Over the years I've tried various brands of lipstick - some expensive and some not so expensive - but is it really worth splashing the cash on expensive make up when the cost of living is rising and we're all trying to cut back?
I went to find out, and tested a selection of lipsticks by different brands to see if they actually vary. Is the quality different? Do some stay on longer than others? Do some make your lips dry?
There are various things to think about when it comes to lipstick but - for me - the main thing I want to know is how long it's going to stay on. If you apply your lipstick before heading out the door you want to know that it's going to wear well no matter how much you eat and drink throughout the day.
