They’re pigmented, pampering and everything-proof
Finding a matte lipstick that’s also hydrating is a mission. The two generally don’t go hand in hand. While we love matte lipsticks for their striking look and classic appeal (you instantly look ‘done’ when you have a matte lippie on), they’re super high maintenance because they need to be regularly reapplied and their knack for turning your lips dry and flaky is not ideal. Traditionally, they can also look quite dull.
Well, the matte lipstick game has changed *a lot*, and it’s no longer a rarity to find ones that are creamy, nourishing and softly matte. We hunted down the best ones around that are comfortable to wear and go the distance from morning to night.
