Every woman needs that perfect matte lipstick as part of her make up arsenal. For the unfamiliar, matte lipsticks are different from ordinary lipsticks that have no shine and produce a deep, pigmented and bold look. But prior to buying and wearing matte lipstick, be sure to exfoliate your lips so the lipstick does not crack and watch out for oily foods which could lead to the lipstick melting out and staining your teeth. Always remember to line your lips prior to application.
L.A Colors Matte Lipstick (Ksh600)
It’s ideal for the woman who is on a budget, and being a low end brand makes it affordable albeit with a poorer quality in that it doesn’t last very long. It makes up for that by having amazing pigmentation.
Jordana Sweet Crème Matte Lip (Ksh 750)
Jordana is fairly decent, with a variety of well pigmented colors and a creamy-like finish. It’s infused with Vitamin A, so your lips never really dry out and it can also last for up to 16 hours. However, it can run easily if not lined properly and it’s best to avoid very oily or greasy foods that could melt it out.
