Our lips may have felt dry, but they looked fabulous AF.

But we REALLY love lipstick that stays on and doesn't let us down. So we decided to try out five different kinds of lipstick for a day and see how they held up.

1. We all would apply at the same time. (9 a.m.)
2. We would all eat the same thing for lunch to make sure we wouldn't skew results between a hard-to-eat burrito and easy-to-chomp sushi.
3. And we would keep track of how many times we each had to reapply.

Macey: Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in Damned Black Cherry ($20)

Macey's thoughts going into this: I usually only wear matte MAC lipsticks, so trying Kat Von D's liquid lipstick was a totally different experience. Applying it was the hardest part for me, since I've gotten used to perfecting the shape with the lipstick itself or lip brushes with other products — it's also not a forgiving color, so it was hard to fix once it was applied. At first it went on a little patchy, but it smoothed out eventually.

Macey's thoughts during: It held up pretty well on the outer edges of my mouth, but any area that touched glasses/food/straws, etc., came off completely in little flakes. Of course this can be fixed by reapplying, which I only did once throughout the entire day. It was drying and felt annoying at times, but it wasn't visibly flaky — and that's without lip scrub/gloss/primer!
