Fenty Beauty Stunna Lip Paint Is Easy for Opaque Coverage

Fenty Stunna Lip Paint has a weightless feel and effortless application.

Liquid matte liquid lipsticks are usually hit or miss for me. While some feel lightweight and apply easily, others are stiff, look dry, and settle into lip lines. My lips tend to be drier, and, most of the time, matte lipstick feathers and cracks on my lips. Initially, I wasn’t sure what to expect with the Fenty Stunna Lip Paint, but I was pleasantly surprised with the outcome.

Promises vs. Performance: Is this liquid lipstick long wearing?

Rihanna’s Fenty Stunna Lip Paint promises a long wear so weightless “you might even forget you’e wearing it.” The matte liquid lipstick has no immediate feathering, staying what Fenty Beauty calls “kissably smooth.” Stunna Lip Paint comes in 8 high impact shades that work for all skin tones. And (my favorite part) it has a precise wand that makes it easy to define and fill in lips.

I’m most impressed by the doe foot applicator of Fenty Stunna Lip Paint. It helped me easily and precisely cover my lips, for “one stroke intensity,” as the brand website claims. Because of this, I don’t need to use a lip liner, which is nice if you’re going for a more minimalistic routine. The formula is interesting, too. While it’s opaque, it also feels like an oil and is very lightweight and smooth on the lips and doesn’t settle into lines. However, it doesn’t have the longevity I expect from a liquid lipstick. While some of the color was still on my lips. after a day of eating, drinking, and talking, it looked like I just had lip liner on instead of a full coverage lipstick.

How It Compares: Is Fenty Stunna Lip Paint the best liquid lipstick?

Fenty Stunna Lip Paint has a gorgeous formula that is comfortable to wear. Pair that with the precise doe foot applicator and you have a solid liquid lipstick. But, it isn’ the longest wearing. It begins wearing off after just hours, and, by the end of the day, I’m left looking like all I have on is lip liner.

There is a cult favorite product that just beats Fenty’s performance: Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick. Coming in 23 gorgeous pinks and reds, Stila Liquid Lipstick has more shade options than Fenty Lip Paint. It’s highly pigmented, feels weightless, and retains lip moisture all day long. It never transfers or smudges, either.
