Matte lipsticks: review of 11 types and 25 photos of matte lipsticks

Matte and velvet textures were at the peak of popularity in the mid-80s of the last century, and now they are back in fashion! Matte lipsticks have slightly replaced their glossy “friends”; they look good on the lips and give them a special attractiveness. Even girls who didn't like the feel of lipstick on their lips became more forgiving of velvet textures. But for matte lipstick to really look beautiful in makeup, it needs to be applied correctly. We talk about all the intricacies of applying matte textures and invite you to pay attention to really interesting specimens.

Features of lipsticks with matte texture

Four essential facts you need to know about matte lipsticks.

Any lipstick is based on waxes, oils and coloring pigments, but matte lipsticks contain a higher percentage of wax and a lower percentage of oils.
Matte lipsticks contain more silica than glossy or creamy lipsticks. It is this component that provides the lips with that matte effect, absorbing excess moisture and sebum.
Due to their composition, matte lipsticks often dry out lips. But many brands today solve this problem by adding vitamins and emollients to the composition, increasing the percentage of oils.
Lipsticks with a matte texture can look different on the lips. So, matte lipstick can leave your lips completely dry or provide a light satin finish - you can see the difference in the photo below.

Benefits of matte lipsticks

Three main reasons why you should try matte lipstick.

Higher durability

Matte lipsticks don't wear off as quickly. If you have to renew a layer of glossy lipstick after every meal, then matte lipstick will last through breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Matte lipstick does not smear

The product literally “freezes” on your lips: you don’t have to check every half hour to see if your lipstick has smudged. Tints have the same property, but matte lipsticks also provide a truly bright shade.

The color of the stick matches the actual shade of the lipstick

When it comes to glossy lipstick, you can never be sure exactly how the shade will look on your lips. In the case of matte, the whole truth comes out: the color that remains on the lips will not differ significantly from the declared one.

How to apply lipstick correctly?

Many girls speak negatively about matte lipstick, not knowing how to apply it correctly. We expect a similar effect: matte shades instantly focus attention on the defects of the lips, so it is important to get them in order before applying such cosmetics.

Exfoliate your lips before applying matte lipstick.

Perform an exfoliation procedure so that your lips stop peeling. Next, moisturize your lips with hygienic lipstick and only then apply matte lipstick on top.

How to choose matte lipstick? 3 rules

To find the perfect matte lipstick, follow these pro tips.

Keep in mind that dark matte lipsticks visually make your lips appear smaller, while light ones, on the contrary, add volume.

Test the lipstick and make sure that it applies easily and evenly, and does not settle into the folds of your lips or crack immediately after application.

Choose the shade of matte lipstick, like the color of any other cosmetic product, to suit your color type.

If you have dark or tanned skin, give preference to shades with warm undertones (brick, cherry), and for girls with porcelain skin, lipsticks with cool undertones (raspberry, cranberry) are suitable.
When choosing lipstick, consider your hair color. We have collected detailed tips for brunettes here, and you can learn everything about makeup for blondes from this material.

How to wear bright shades of matte lipsticks? 5 ideas

We tell you what to combine bright matte lipsticks with and what shades to choose in 2021.

Red

Matte lipstick always attracts attention, so it can become the only accent of your look. Bright matte lips plus perfect skin and neutral eye makeup is one of the most fashionable combinations. Any red lipstick - scarlet, ruby, tomato - in this case will look especially impressive. This article will help you choose “your” shade.

Pink

The most fashionable pink shade is fuchsia. And if you have decided on such a bright color, go all the way! Complete the look with unusual eye makeup, for example, as at the Concept Korea spring-summer show. If you prefer more traditional shades of pink, study a separate material that will help you choose the right color.

Yagodnaya

Girls with cool-toned skin should give preference to raspberry lipstick, and dark-skinned and tanned girls should prefer cherry lipstick. Try adding the same shade to your eyelids, pairing it with metallic eyeshadow like the Emporio Armani show. The festive evening look is ready!

Purple

Lilac or purple matte lipstick beautifully emphasizes the tan, so it will be an ideal option for the summer. Pairing it with minimal eye makeup will also work flawlessly. Of course, provided that the tone is perfect: any bright lipstick (and matte lipstick in particular!) emphasizes skin imperfections.

Orange

To make your makeup look harmonious with matte orange lipstick, use blush of the same shade. Well, which shade of orange you should choose – coral, orange or carrot – these tips will help you decide.

Who is suitable for using matte lipstick?

Without exaggeration, matte lipstick suits all girls at any age, with any type of appearance. Of course, due to the clear delineation of the contour, the volume of the lips is slightly hidden. Therefore, unconditionally matte lipstick is suitable for owners of medium and full lips. If in a cosmetic store you have a question about which matte lipstick to choose, you can apply a little product to the inside of your wrist. If the veins begin to stand out more against the background of lipstick, then this is not a suitable option. Also, lipstick is not suitable if it looks like a separate spot on the skin. The correct and beautiful tone of matte lipstick will hide skin imperfections (in this case, it will not highlight the color of the veins). The correct shade blends harmoniously with the skin color and does not make you want to wash off the product.

Recommendations from makeup artists

Experts recommend choosing beige shades, which are produced by absolutely all brands of matte lipsticks

Those with fair skin should be wary of this shade, as the beige tint is complementary to the skin tone. This lip color gives fair-skinned girls a sickly look.

In this case, the contour is outlined with a lip pencil of a darker tone.

Makeup artists consider natural muted red color to be universal.

The exception is that this color does not suit pale skin, does not emphasize aristocracy, on the contrary, it makes the complexion unattractive. For those with porcelain skin, warm red lipstick suits them. In general, for pale skin it is not recommended to choose cool shades of any color.

All warm shades are ideal for dark brunettes - caramel, coffee with milk, brown.

Pink lipsticks suit girls of any appearance, the main thing is to choose the right tone. Scarlet colors are preferable to blondes, and burgundy colors are preferable to brunettes.

Dark matte lipsticks

Three trendy dark shades to try right now.

Burgundy (wine, Marsala)

Dark cherry, burgundy, plum or wine lipstick with a matte finish does not create such a dramatic effect as a glossy one; it looks aristocratic and noble. Perhaps this is why this lip makeup is more common than others on the red carpet. Let's take an example from Hollywood stars and models on the catwalk!

Black

For everyday makeup, black matte lipstick, of course, is not suitable, but for thematic makeup it is just right. Remember her when you come up with an outfit for Halloween.

Gray

The classic gray color is quite difficult to use in lip makeup if you are not a professional makeup artist, but the fashionable shade taupe in a matte finish will not let you down. Complete your look with clear, graphic arrows, like at the acclaimed Le Defile show. By the way, this exact shade can be found in the L'Oréal Paris lipstick collection, created in collaboration with Balmain.

Unusual matte lipsticks

If the classic shades of matte lipsticks no longer surprise you, try a product with an unusual “finish” - for example, pearlescent or metallic. NYX Professional Makeup has a whole collection dedicated to such textures: the Soft Matte Metallic Lip Cream series has as many as 12 iridescent shades, from peach to bright purple.

And the Urban Decay brand recently introduced a separate palette of matte lipsticks, Metal Meets Matte Vice, which has both regular matte textures and iridescent ones. “Pure” metallic is also in fashion – different shades of gold, silver, bronze.

What types of burgundy lipsticks are there?

Long-lasting liquid lipstick L'Oreal Color Riche L'Extraordinaire #304 Ruby Opera

In color they are more reminiscent of dark (rotten) cherries. This color is extremely appropriate for the autumn season. If you chose a warm shade of burgundy lipstick, then stick to “warmth” in the rest of your makeup: eye shadow and blush.

cool burgundy lipsticks

Maybelline Color Sensational Vivid Matte Liquid Lipstick #Possessed Plum

Bordeaux of this tonality contains a purple pigment. The biggest advantage of choosing this particular burgundy is that your teeth will look much whiter due to the purple undertone in the lipstick.

glossy burgundy lipsticks

Lipstick Bourjois Rouge Laque#07 Purpledelique

A glossy burgundy lipstick would look appropriate in the evening. The intense dark shade and shine go perfectly with an evening outfit.

burgundy lipsticks with shimmer

Matte liquid lipstick NYX Soft Matte Metallic Lip Cream #Budapest with light shimmer

Avoid bronze shimmer in glossy burgundy, otherwise you risk making your lip makeup look terribly old-fashioned. But in the matte version, fine shimmer will not look “retro”, and delicate shimmer will visually enlarge your lips, despite the matte finish.

matte burgundy lipsticks

Inglot HD Lip Tint Matte #20

The matte finish of burgundy lipstick makes lips extremely seductive. The trendy velvet finish is perfect for fall. But, we warn you, before you paint your lips with matte burgundy lipstick, scrub and moisturize them with balm. Matte and, especially, long-lasting velvet textures highlight flaking and unevenness of the lips, and also dry out a little.

Review of long-lasting matte lipsticks

Three lipsticks with a matte effect that are characterized by increased durability.

Vice Liquid Lipstick, Urban Decay

As Urban Decay promises, Vice Liquid Lipstick will stay on your lips until you decide to take it off. The long-lasting formula is not afraid of water and touch, and the soft, delicate texture moisturizes lips. All that remains is to make a difficult choice between 30 highly pigmented shades.

Tatouage Couture, YSL

In this case, the name speaks for itself: YSL have developed a formula that provides the lipstick with phenomenal longevity. Thanks to this formula, Tatouage Couture is practically invisible on the lips and does not tug on them, as many matte lipsticks do. The applicator gives her additional points in our rating, with the help of which it has become much easier to apply lipstick in an even layer.

L`Absolu Rouge Matte, Lancôme

Among the many lipsticks from the L`Absolu Rouge series, the shades of L`Absolu Rouge Matte are particularly durable: you do not need to reapply it every few hours. The matte finish will look natural on the lips without making them dry or revealing skin imperfections. Lancôme also developed a new stylish case that opens with one click.

Types of matte lipsticks

In addition to the classic lipstick stick, you can also find other matte lip products on the shelves of cosmetics stores.

Liquid matte lipstick (lipstick-gloss)

Liquid lipstick is two products in one. It provides the lips with a rich color, like classic lipsticks in a stick, but at the same time has a soft, creamy texture, like lip glosses. The last property becomes especially important when it comes to matte lipsticks.

Liquid matte lipsticks are available in bottles with an applicator; they are more convenient to use. Due to their texture, they do not tighten the skin, providing greater comfort to the lips. Many brands produce such products; look for decent ones from Maybelline, L'Oréal Paris, NYX Professional Makeup and Urban Decay.

Matte lipstick pencil

For beginners in makeup, it is difficult to use matte lipsticks without a contour pencil: matte textures require more precision in application than glossy ones. Beauty brands have solved this problem by creating lipstick sticks. The thin tip allows you to apply lipstick strictly along the contour, and it is also easy to fill in your lips.

In this case, the shade will be as rich as when using regular lipstick. Pay attention to the Ombre Lip Duo pencil lipstick from NYX Professional Makeup, with which you can create a fashionable gradient effect on your lips.

Gel matte lipstick

There seems to be an obvious contradiction in the name of this product - how can a gel provide a matte “finish”? Very simple! For example, Giorgio Armani has such a velvet lip gel: in the bottle Lip Maestro really looks like a gel, but after application it hardens and the surface of the lips becomes matte. An obvious advantage of this product is its comfortable application.

How to properly paint your lips with matte lipstick?

You need to apply matte lipstick in several stages. Follow our photo instructions.

Matte lipstick emphasizes the slightest flaking and cracks, so take time to prepare your lips in advance. Lightly exfoliate with a special lip scrub or massage the skin with a toothbrush. Then apply lip balm and let it absorb properly. Be sure to remove any remaining residue with a napkin: apply matte lipstick strictly to dry lips!

Outline your lips with a pencil to match your lipstick (you can find out how to do this correctly here). Until you get the hang of it, you won’t be able to apply matte lipstick evenly without a pencil.

Apply lipstick without going beyond the boundaries of the pencil. You can first fill the entire surface of your lips with a pencil, and only after that apply lipstick. Firstly, this will make your makeup even more durable, and secondly, the color of your lips will definitely be uniform.

Advice! To make your lips look fuller, apply a little dry highlighter to the center of your lower lip and blend. If the lipstick has a cool undertone, use a silver highlighter, otherwise use a gold highlighter.

Find a video tutorial on how to apply matte lipstick below.

How to remove matte lipstick from lips?

Some matte lipsticks can be easily washed off with regular micellar water. If the long-lasting texture does not give in, try an oil-based makeup remover. Apply a cotton pad soaked in makeup remover to your lips for 10 seconds, then gently massage away any excess lipstick.

How is matte makeup done?

Some girls avoid matte makeup, thinking that it can highlight their tired look. Of course, too much purple can highlight the circles under the eyes, but only if the eyes are not properly made up, so there is no need to worry about this.

Matte shades do not immediately apply smoothly, so you need to distribute the shadows with special brushes

Another problem may be difficulty in application. Matte shades do not immediately lie flat, so you need to distribute the shadows with special brushes, creating a smooth transition from light to shadow.

Classic makeup is performed according to the following principle

Before applying eye shadow, you need to prepare your eyelids by applying primer. The base is applied to oil-free, clean skin. When the primer is absorbed, you can proceed to the main makeup.
Use matte foundation and concealer to hide blemishes. As with matte lipstick, shadows reveal imperfections in a woman's facial skin, such as small wrinkles around the eyes.
Set your foundation with powder.
Fill in your eyebrows. To do this, you need to comb them with a special eyebrow comb, trim them and fill them in with eyebrow shadows. Afterwards, use a special gel to style and fix the hairs.
Apply white shadow under your brows to highlight the contrast between them and your skin.
Use brown eyeliner around your eyes. You can draw small arrows.
Use brown, latte or chocolate eyeshadow and spread it gently over the entire eyelid with a brush.
Apply black or chocolate mascara to your eyelashes.
Pay special attention to contouring your face: use dark powder to highlight your cheekbones and gently blend it with a sponge.
Apply lipstick in a natural shade.

How to make glossy lipstick matte?

If you don't have a matte lipstick yet, you can create the desired matte finish in another way.

Apply regular glossy lipstick or gloss to your lips and blot your lips with a paper napkin.

Place a clean, single-layer paper towel on your lips and, without removing it, dust your lips with transparent powder.

Repeat this procedure two or three times until the shade is sufficiently saturated.

At the end, powder your lips without a napkin.
