It can be tough to swing matte lipstick. If your lips aren’t prepped, matte lip color can look drying and chalky. But if the conditions are right, it can look chic and modern. Many of today’s matte formulas are light and smooth, as well as long lasting. It also helps to look for formulas that are “luminous” or “conditioning.” Our round-up includes 14 matte formulas that come in vibrant colors and are highly pigmented with great color payoff.
