Walk into a powder room at a party and stand next to a stranger who's probably washing her hands. Ask her if she's got a lipstick you could borrow to touch up your makeup and I bet she won't say no. Something so small that could fit into the tiniest of our purses, connects us so incredibly. This symbol of power and femininity is a staple in every girl's purse. And with the start of the festive season in India, it's that time of the year when we're stacking up our favourite shades. Whether it's a nude or blush for office, or a classic red for an evening out – we love our lipsticks and we want them to last long. Unless you're going for a 'smudge-on-purpose lips', which has been a trend and can be described as a soft yet carefree look, nobody wants the colour running out after an hour of application. I've rounded up five long-lasting lipsticks that promise to stay, come rain or shine.
