The newest trend right now in terms of makeup is matte lip gloss. With so many options, how do you know which to choose? I've started experimenting with different brands as well as my friends and sister. After gathering different opinions, I've rated five different matte lip glosses to let you choose which works best for you!
1. Kylie Lip Kit by Kylie Jenner
The Kylie Lip Kit is what got my attention to the newest crazy of matte lip glosses. Until Kylie came out with her lip glosses I really hadn't paid much attention. My roommate and sister both have different colors of Kylie Lip Kit and they both really like it. It's called a lip kit because each box comes with a gloss and liner.
Price: $29
Number of Colors: 7 (22, KoKo K, Posie K, Candy K, Dolce K, True Brown K and Mary Jo K)
*Colors listed are in a different order than picture above
Pros: Long wear and great taste
Cons: Expensive, hard to come by and takes a while to ship
Kylie Lip Kits are only available online at http://www.kyliecosmetics.com/. They sell out in less than 30 minutes so, if you want to try out this brand, you have to stay updated on Kylie's social media because she will announce when a release is and then, before you know it, they're gone. This gloss is on the more expensive side but from personal reviews as well as online reviews this stuff seems to be the real deal!
I'm giving this gloss a 4 out of 5.
2. NYX Lip Lingerie
NYX Lip Lingerie is my newest find and if you follow me on Pinterest, you have probably noticed I've been pinning this stuff like crazy. NYX in general is a great brand so their coming out with a new matte gloss was really exciting to learn about.
Price: $7
Number of Colors: 12 (Baby Doll, Lace Detail, Push-Up, Bedtime Flirt, Embellishment, Exotic, Ruffle Trim, Satin Ribbon, Teddy, Beauty Mark, Honeymoon and Corset)
*Colors listed are in a different order than picture above
Pros: Long wear, inexpensive and easy to find
Cons: Colors are very similar
NYX Lip Lingerie is really one of the best I've tried so far. It is SO cheap, I mean, hello, $7?? I don't think you can beat that. This product is long lasting and fun with its flirty names. It was hard to find a con but I do think that a lot of their colors look very similar and it's easy to get confused on which color to by. Other than that, this stuff is pretty great! You can find Lip Lingerie at Target, Ulta and online at http://www.nyxcosmetics.com/lip-lingerie/NYX_315.h....
I'm giving this gloss a 5 out of 5.
3. NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream
Before NYX Lip Lingerie came out, LYX Soft Matte Lip Cream was already on the market. This isn't as popular as the other brands mentioned so far but it's still good to mention it now.
Price: $6
Number of Colors: 34 (You can find the full list at http://www.nyxcosmetics.com/soft-matte-lip-cream/N...)
Pros: Inexpensive, easy to find and so many color options
Cons: Not long lasting and flakes easily
This was the first matte lip gloss I got for myself. I was honestly pretty let down by this gloss. It really dried my lips out, and I found myself reapplying it multiple times in one night. I will say that the amount of colors available are great and again the price is amazing! Maybe this gloss works for others, but it wasn't my favorite.
I'm giving this gloss a 2.5 out of 5.
4. ColourPop Ultra Matte Lip
Price: $6 (plus shipping)
Number of Colors: 43 (You can find the full list at https://colourpop.com/product-category/lips/ultra-...)
Pros: Inexpensive and long wearing
Cons: Online only
This matte lip gloss is amazing! My friend showed me this brand and I immediately was hooked. My favorite color so far is Beeper. This gloss is great because it really lasts for a long time. Another perk is how cheap it is, minus the fact you have to pay for shipping. The only annoying this is that you have to wait for this gloss to come in because they are exclusively online.
I'm giving this gloss at 4.5 out of 5.
5. Dose of Color Matte Liquid Lipstick
I have never personally tried this brand, but my best friend refers to it as her "holy grail for liquid lips!" She uses this brand a lot and swears by it!
Price: $18 (plus shipping)
Number of Colors: 16 (You can find the full list at http://doseofcolors.com/collections/matte-lipstick...)
Pros: Long lasting and great colors
Cons: Online shipping costs
This gloss seems to be one of the best! The only annoying part is the price is higher than some others mentioned but not the most expensive and it's only online. According to my friend, those cons are worth it! This stuff is the real deal.
I'm giving this gloss at 4 out of 5.
