Smudge-Proof Pouts: Top Waterproof Lipsticks for Monsoon, Weddings And Beyond

Ever walked out with perfect lipstick and come back looking like you never applied any? Blame the weather, oily snacks, and endless hours. The truth is, most lipsticks can't handle our daily hustle, especially during the monsoon or back-to-back wedding functions. But thankfully, new waterproof formulas are changing the game. They're matte, comfortable, and built to last from the first cup of chai to the last dance of the night. Here are the top ones that deliver on colour, comfort, and serious staying power.
