The 17 Best Moisturizing Lipsticks

L’Oréal Paris Colour Riche Volume Matte Intense Lipstick

This matte lipstick contains hyaluronic acid to help plump, soften and retain moisture in the lip area during your wear. We love that it has a creamy, pigmented finish that saturates the lips quickly — seriously, in only one to two swipes — and that it won’t leave your lips looking or feeling cracked and flaky.

YSL Beauty Rouge Volupté Candy Glaze Lip Gloss Stick

If you love the look of a gloss but prefer a lipstick formula, we highly recommend swiping on this high-shine — it’s truly the best of both worlds. It slides on like a lipstick but has the shine of a gloss and the feel of a lip balm. Plus, it comes in a variety of stunning shades, from a candy pink to a moody brown.

It’s infused with a caring oil complex that will ensure a comfortable wear all day long and has reflective pearl pigment for a little extra shine. The pigment is strong on these, and so is the hydration factor!
