I put Merit’s Matte Signature Lipstick to the ultimate wear test and it offered vibrant buildable color, didn’t dry my lips out, and stayed on for over five hours — no application needed. Shop it for $26.

Before joining the InStyle and Shape commerce team, she was a freelancer for Byrdie and ESSENCE.. They need to be pigmented, long-lasting, and moisturizing — there’s nothing worse than a drying lipstick. I have this experiment I do when I acquire new lipsticks and it’s called the date night test. I apply.
When I ran my experiment, I applied about two layers so I could get the true richness of the shade, and the color was vibrant and despite it being matte, which I'm way more critical of, my lips didn’t look super textured. I shared a kiss with my boyfriend and noticed on my wine glasses that it did transfer onto the glass and his skin, so be mindful of what you wear and do when wearing this product.
I went on to have steak, potatoes and strawberry cheesecake. I had a bit of pigment left on my utensils afterwards, but the color was still on my lips. When I got home and had the chance to closely examine it in the mirror, I found that the color wasn’t as vibrant, but still left a nice stain on the lips and felt hydrated and soft.
