What is the best matte lipstick?

I love our Retro Matte Liquid Lipcolour's, which are a twist on the classic matte texture, for when I want a rush of pigment-soaked colour that's going to last all day. They come in a wide range of colours from gorgeous nudes like Topped With Brandy to a wide range of red tones like Carnivorous which is a stunning burnt red, have a really beautiful velvety, mattest of matte finishes and a special doe foot applicator for easy and precise application. The formula doesn't bleed and stays in place even when I eat and drink! Because of the matting agents they contain and the longwear formula, I would highly recommend popping some of our MAC Prep + Prime Lip on before application. It's a solid primer designed to help condition the lips and enhance the appearance of lipstick, enabling professional-looking application that reduces feathering. Apply it over the edges of the lips as well as the lips themselves and give it a few seconds to go a little it tacky. Pop on your desired colour and there you have it, comfortable colour that doesn't budge!

Another amazing matte lipstick range that MAC offer is the Powder Kiss Liquid Lipcolour formula, a liquid lipcolour with a whipped, mousse-like texture that delivers soft-focus moisture-matte and comfortable colour with ten hours of hydration. Matte has definitely been reinvented as these lipcolour's give you a blurred, high-impact matte look whilst feeling completely weightless. It has a whipped, mousse-like texture and feels totally comfortable on the lips. Give Devoted To Chili a go for a gorgeous soft burnt red tone!
