The Best Lipsticks for Kissing, According to Rom-Com Makeup Artists

The one thing all romantic comedies have in common? They celebrate the two things everyone wants in life—rom and com, of course. To honor that, we’re devoting a whole week to the genre. More on the rom-coms we love, past and present, here.

Kissing is one of the most fun, low-stakes activities you can do with a significant other—or a not-so-significant other, or a crush, or someone you literally had a meet-cute with five minutes ago. And while the consequences are generally zero to none (as The Killers immortalized: “It was only a kiss!”), it does require a small investment: your lipstick. Whether it’s a peck or a full-on make-out session, a subsequent trip to the mirror is usually required to scope out the damage.

But that’s never the case in a romantic comedy, where the lead can get away with kissing with lipstick, no touch-up needed. So we asked the makeup artists behind some of the most popular rom-com movies to share their secrets for the best lipstick. Find out the best lipstick for your next make-out and shop, below.
