The Return of Matte Lipsticks

We've been through various lipstick trends from the glossy lips, metallic, lip tints, to even the very bold glittered lips. However, it seems that we are taking a trip down memory lane and revisiting the reign of matte lipsticks. Known for their dense pigment and absence of shine, matte lipsticks offer a more refined and sophisticated look. They might not be as glamorous as their glittery counterparts, but they definitely have an understated elegance about them. Plus, matte lipsticks are extremely versatile. They can offer bold edge for a night out, subtle sophistication for a business meeting, or a soft romantic touch for a date.

Indeed, the return of matte lipsticks reinforces the adage: 'old is gold'. The beauty industry is constantly innovating, creating trends designed to express creativity, but sometimes, the classics are revisited for their timeless appeal. The matte finish provides long-lasting wear, reducing the need for frequent touch-ups. Its non-reflective nature also makes it an ideal choice for photography as it doesn't produce glare under lighting. Matte lipstick is a staple piece that every woman should have in her makeup arsenal for its diverse range of advantages.

There are a range of matte lipsticks available in the market, from drugstore labels to high-end brands. Popular colours for matte lipsticks range from subtle nudes to popping pinks and, of course, the daring reds. When applying matte lipstick, ensure your lips are well exfoliated and moisturized. Due to its formulation, matte lipstick has a tendency to highlight dry patches and fine lines. Proper lip care can maximize the stunning effects of matte lipstick. So, brace yourself up: the reign of matte lipsticks is returning, and it is time to matte-ify your makeup routine!
