Matte Lipsticks : Why, What and How
When you decided that you want to buy
lipstick to be added into your collection, and you’re aiming for the usual type, think
again, take a step back and get a matte lipstick instead. Matte lipsticks are
taking the beauty world by storm for its wearability which is said to be way
better than usual lipsticks. Be it whether it comes in the usual solid form, or
liquid, the matte finish gives off a modern vibe to the finished makeup look.
Plus, they also come in variety shades that normal lipstick don’t usually have.
So you're saying that you're new to matte lipsticks and you’re not sure which
shade to get? Don’t worry! This handy guide will help you get through your new
love for matte lipstick.
Red
The most obvious choice is of course, the classic red. But
why bother getting a red matte lipstick when you already have so many reds in
your collection? The formulation difference between a matte lipstick and normal
lipsticks is on the longevity. A very good quality matte lipstick can help you
survive through your dinner date because it is
basically lasts a lot longer, even after a meal! Imagine when you already
applied your red lipstick on, it boosted up your confidence and suddenly after
a meal or drink when you check back on your lips in the mirror, you get this
horrible situation where your lip colour disappears on the inner rim of your
lips. Ew! Everyone's fear. The colour red itself comes in different intensity
meaning you can wear it as light as possible or as deep as possible. You can
wear it lighter for that barely there look or thick for an obvious sexy pout.

Brown/Nude
Sometimes it is hard to find any nude or brown shade with
normal lipstick formula that will stay long enough for it to look pretty on
you. When it comes to matte lipstick though, its formula sets onto your lips
directly and doesn’t budge unless you eat something oily. Nude matte lipsticks
are my go to lip colours for everyday wear or when I want that no makeup makeup
look. Brown shades are getting more popular in the market since Kylie Jenner
releases her own matte liquid lipsticks. People have been testing and finding
out different brands and colors of matte lipsticks to dupe hers. So if you
don't have any matte browns or nudes in your collection yet, I would say it's a
must have!

Purple
Don’t be scared away! It may be too brave for some people
but there are definitely awesome variations in matte lipstick version of the
colour purple that’s great for everyone. Certain shades are very wearable on
daily basis actually. You don’t have to buy the real purple. It can be
something that’s more like wine red, burgundy or mauve. These are neutral
purples that look amazing on any skin tone.

Tips and Tricks On Using Matte Lipsticks
1. Scrub
Make sure you exfoliate or scrub your lips
because matte lipstick looks ten times better on smooth lips. If you have dry
chapped lips, you gotta treat it first. The last thing you want is your dead
skin cells on to clumps with the liquid lipsticks applied. Yikes!
2. Moisturize
Always moisturize and hydrate yourself and
your lips. This is important because sometimes the matte lipsticks could be
settling into the lines of our lips if you don't moisturize them beforehand.
You will notice that the matte lipsticks will glide on better upon application
on smooth and plumped lips. So just use your favourite lip balm before applying
you matte lipsticks!
3. Be Quick
Other than that, be quick when applying
because some matte lipsticks dry faster. So it can get tricky to build up the
intensity once it is dried and set. Also, avoid smacking your lips together
like you usually do after applying normal lipstick because it can cause
unevenness to the color applied.
So there you go, super easy and I hope you
enjoy your matte lipstick journey soon!
