The Lipstick a Wonderflaw Editor Swears By

I’ve been obsessed with lipstick for as long as I can remember. Even before I knew what it was, I was drawn to the look of colorful lips—and I wanted mine to be just as vibrant. Once I started wearing makeup, I cycled through countless brands to find the perfect shade and formula. My goal? A lipstick that felt weightless yet lasted for hours. That search finally ended with Dior Addict Lip Tattoo Long-Wear Colored Tint. Here’s why it’s the one.

Whenever I buy a lipstick, I consider three things: staying power, effortless application, and a scent that doesn’t overwhelm. I prefer formulas that glide on smoothly and stay put for hours. For a while, I relied on The Balm’s and MAC’s liquid matte lipsticks, but over time, they left my lips looking dry and cracked—not ideal. Dior, on the other hand, has mastered the balance of color, comfort, and longevity.

The moment you open Dior Addict Lip Tattoo, you’re greeted with a refreshing minty scent. The applicator makes it easy to define your lips before coating them in a rich, even layer of color. It starts off slightly dewy, then melts into the lips, leaving behind an ultra-lightweight stain that feels like nothing—in the best way possible. And because it’s seriously long-lasting, you can go hours without a touch-up.

Here’s a little trick to get even more out of it: While it’s still fresh on your lips, tap a bit onto your cheeks and nose with your ring finger for an effortless sun-kissed glow.

For over five years, the shade 771 Natural Berry has been my go-to. It pairs effortlessly with everything in my wardrobe. At night, I enhance it with lip liner and shimmery eye makeup for extra definition. During the day, I keep it simple—just the lipstick, with a little extra on my cheeks and nose for a fresh, cohesive look. The color alone makes a statement, no extra tricks needed. It’s quick, foolproof, and makes getting out the door that much easier.

Even with daily use, a single tube lasts me almost two years. A lipstick this versatile, weightless, and long-wearing? What’s not to love? Consider me a lifelong fan.
