Finding a kiss-proof formula that’s moisturizing and stays put from photos to the after-party is essential. It also needs to be available in an assortment of pretty hues. After all, a girl needs options! Sounds like a tall order, sure. But there are plenty of products that deliver. Even better, a bunch of the best are natural—because who wants to pucker up to a tube full of chemicals, amiright?
