The matte lip trend held strong during the winter and doesn't seem to be going anywhere fast for the upcoming spring season. So if you haven't gotten in on this yet, it's about time that you did! There is just so much to love about matte lips. Not only are they ultra stylish and sophisticated but they also translate easily from day to night, complementing your most subtle daytime look as well as your most glamorous evening makeup.
The reason why so many people tend to avoid matte colour, though, is the fear of lips becoming dried out and flakey. So, we've found some yummy matte lip options that are both creamy and hydrating while still delivering excellent colour payout. As with any lip colour, however, always be sure to prime and prep before applying. Gently exfoliate if necessary and condition well with a moisturizing balm as often as possible! Then swipe some of this stuff on to get totally on trend.
If a statement lip is to be made, do it with the Maybelline Color Sensational Vivid Matte Liquid ($13). This line of liquids deliver hyper-pigmented colour of striking intensity that refuses to fall flat. They actually used both foundation and lipstick technologies to create a velvety matte full-coverage finish that feels smooth and comfortable. Available in 10 fierce shades (and, in case you’re curious, we gave this a try during Toronto Fashion Week and stood the test of several daily cups of coffee).
