Matte lipsticks don't always get lots of love. That's because most people think lipstick and lip gloss are supposed to shine. That rationale makes practical sense during the holidays when there's always a party to attend. Now that things have wrapped up, those wet-look lip colors should be carefully tucked away in your makeup bag until Valentine's Day or a wedding rolls around. In the meantime, you need to build up your matte arsenal.
Just because they're matte doesn't mean they're boring. Our favorite formulas deliver serious color that lasts at least 10 hours. Whether you're looking for a somewhat subtle nude or a bright pop of red. We couldn't forget pink picks, of course, because they're still the most popular shades.
