Finding the perfect matte lipstick is a treacherous task. The wrong one can make your lips look desert dry, or flake into a patchy mess, or - perhaps worst of all - give you a classic case of Cat's Bum. However, a great matte lipstick can give you a long-lasting sophisticated look, that won't need touching up a million times a day, making it a great option for a busy person who wants to look great from dawn to dusk with minimal effort.
So which matte lipsticks on the market are a safe buy? Check out five that have reached Top Rated status after being used and reviewed by Beauty Review members, like you!
1. Mellow Liquid Lip Paint
RATED: 4.6/5
Beauty Review Member franceneellis says: This lip paint is my go to every day. I can put it on in the morning before work and it will still be on when I get home. Can’t recommend this product enough.
2. Revlon Colorburst Matte Balms
RATED: 4.5/5!
Beauty Review Member Dayna says: These matte balms are definitely not for people who prefer natural sheer lipsticks. They are very bright and show up true to colour... They also last a very long time, I find I don't have to re-apply them a lot throughout the day. They are also easy to apply as they have a smooth slightly creamy texture to them.
3. Maybelline Superstay Matte Lip Ink
RATED: 4.3/5!
Beauty Review Member jessmunn says: This is amazing! I love a matte liquid lip that makes applying super easy - so easy to get clean lines. The colour is gorgeous and it definitely stays all day! I applied in the morning. It survived multiple hot beverages and meals and maybe a cheeky kiss or two as well! Highly highly recommend.
4. L'Oreal Paris Rouge Signature Ink
RATED: 4.3/5
Beauty Review Member angehaley3 says: This is such a good liquid lip formula! It provides bold colour but it feels lightweight and it doesn't dry out your lips! It feels quite moisturizing but the colour is still long-lasting. I also love the applicator on this product as well, as it makes it really easy to apply and you don't need a lip liner with this either.
5. ColourPop Ultra Matte Lip
RATED: 4.3/5
Beauty Review Member emilypurchase says: These Ultra Mattes are some of my favourites. I love anything matte and especially when it dries down as I hate going out and ending up with a line around my lips. I love something that stays all night long and these bad boys do!
Not a big fan of mattes as my lips feel quite dry. Need one with good moisture
