Matte Lipstick Shades



Makeup is no longer just about concealing your scars and imperfections, it is now a form of self-expression and art. From rainbow highlighters to blue lipsticks, the makeup world has seen it all. The last couple of years have seen an increase in popularity of fun and unconventional matte lipstick shades. But no matter what colours you experiment with, some matte liquid lipsticks never go out of style.


Here are five matte lipstick shades that every makeup lover should have in their collection.


1. Red

There’s nothing as classy as a bold red lip. Red lipstick shades have been around for decades, and they are not going away anytime soon. Try different red matte lipstick shades like maroon, burgundy, reds with hints of orange, cool-toned reds, etc. to find one that works best for you. For example, the Maybelline Sensational Liquid Matte Lipstick shade Flush It Red is a cool-toned bluish red whereas the shade To The Fullest has orange undertones and is more warm. The weightless and non-sticky formula stays put on your lips without drying it out, perfect for when you want to give your lips a break without compromising on style.


2. Nude

Classy or casual, a nude matte liquid lipstick can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. Finding the perfect nude matte lipstick shade for your skin tone is not always an easy task, but be patient and try out different nude shades to find your best match. From pinkish nudes to nude matte liquid lipsticks with brown undertones, there is something out there for everybody. The Maybelline Sensational Liquid Matte Lipstick in the shades Barely Nude or Truly MLBB are both great options for nude matte lipstick shades that look flattering on all skin tones.


3. Brown

A 90s staple, brown matte lipstick shades have made a gradual comeback. Try a soft brown matte liquid lipstick shade for the daytime or deepen it up for your next dinner date. The Maybelline Superstay Matte Liquid Lipstick in the shade Fighter is the perfect brown lippie for different skin tones. Feeling iffy about brown lipsticks? We understand your apprehension, not everybody jumps on the brown bandwagon with the same level of excitement.

For days when you are wearing some simple no-makeup makeup, a soft pink lipstick that is close to your natural lip colour will help you achieve the “your lips but better” look.
