Most beauty trends these days are all about looking as dewy as possible. Glass skin and glossy lips, anyone? And while we are totally in love with a plump and juicy pout, I think we can all agree that a classic matte lip will always be timeless.
Now, we admit that finding the perfect matte lipstick can be difficult. Although the pigment payoff is amazing, most matte lippies tend to be overly drying, heavy on the lips, and just downright uncomfortable. But much has changed in the beauty industry, and with the new cosmetic innovations, the newer matte lippies aren’t the same as the mattes we remember.
Ahead, we’ve list down some of the new matte lipstick releases that you need to try out. Who knows? They might just convince you to go back to matte!
