The Return of the Matte

The hottest lip trend this season is without a doubt worn matte. A favourite with makeup artists, celebrities have been captured wearing velvety textures in punchy shades on (and off) the red carpet. Here’s how they’re celebrating the return of the matte.

But why have matte lips had such a breakthrough effect? Well, they lend to a much more sophisticated look than glossy lips. And because of matte lipsticks creamy consistency you’re less likely to smudge them, plus they’re longwear so you don’t have to top up your coverage. Chic and easy? Yes, please!
