   There's tons of trends in the beauty industry right now -ombre lips, purple lips, bold brows, pointed nails, contouring etc. However my favorite trend right now is a matte lip. To me, a matte lip can instantly turn any look into a classy look! Its definitely more subtle than a lip with shimmer or gloss. A matte lip can be worn in any color and is appropriate for any occasion! I'd have to say my favorite shades in matte are reds and purples. These colors are already bold as it is, but lose the gloss and shimmer and you have an everyday sultry look.
   
   
   

   

   
   
   My current matte lip obsessions are from Lorac Pro, Mac, and NYX.
   
   My newest additions to my matte lipsticks are "Lorac PRO Matte lip colors". 
   I purchased these in the colors Violet and Merlot.
   This product is great because its not really a lipstick, but more of a mechanical lip pencil. It goes on your lips smooth like butter but has a matte finish. Its like a lip liner and lipstick in one. The colors are extremely pigmented, which is a requirement when it comes to matte lipsticks. I guess you could say its a mix between a lip stain and a lipstick. This product is shaped like a cute little stick thats convenient for storage and travel. Its definitely a must have especially for a girl on the go. They are $16.00 at Ulta. 
   
   

   

   
   

   

   
   

   
   

   Next I Discovered the luxury of MAC Cosmetics, Matte Lipsticks. There's so many colors to choose from in the collection. I decided to go with "Sin". This color along with its matte finish is the epitome of fall. They go on like velvet. Its extremely pigmented and the color lasts all day. I get so many compliments when I wear this lipstick. Its such a sexy color. I can't wait to purchase more! 

   $16.00

   
   

   

   
   

   

   
   

   
   

   
   

   
   

   Finally my Go-To Matte Lipsticks, that are easy on my wallet, are NYX Matte Lipsticks. 

   They have a variety of colors to choose from in this collection. As always I Love all the darker shades such as "Siren, Alabama, and Aria". But I want to try all the bright pink/purple shades in this collection. They go on so smooth and they don't dry out your lips throughout the day. If you're not too sure about matte lipsticks, I'd definitely start with this brand. None of the NYX lipsticks have let me down and I'm absolutely positive you'll have the same results. And most importantly they are less than half the price of the other two brands. They are $5.99 at Ulta and Target and can also be found at CVS.
