Margarita Virova
It's no secret that matte lipstick, perhaps the main beauty-insanity of recent years. Today they are released and democratic, and luxury brands, and the choice of shades varies from neon blue to software red. The only contraindication of such means has always been their dryness, but finally the time came when liquid lipsticks became comfortable. We recall the best representatives of the species and talk about new products with improved formulas.

465 rubles
The British brand, which produces budget versions of various hit products, boasts excellent matte lipstick. Velvet Lip Lacquer dries your lips uncritically, but easily fits into a given contour and lasts for a long time. The most interesting shades are a few variations on the theme of purple: bright, almost neon Depravity and deep Velvet Vamp, turning almost black on the lips. Wearing sensations cause nostalgia for Lime Crime Velvetines, in which Makeup Revolution lipsticks still benefit in price and availability.

There is a heightened interest in the latest, just presented Giorgio Armani novelty: there are no more shades in the online store, but in the chain stores and the Moscow boutique of the brand "magnets" are presented in abundance. All shades are conventional, which does not negate the pleasure of choosing between red and wine. The main thing in this lipstick - increased comfort.

It leaves, by the way, without stains and spreading and recovers in a couple of movements, which is important for those who are not ready to sacrifice dinner for the sake of makeup.

That old friend who is better than the new two. Lipstick Jeffrey Star is already familiar to Russian lovers of cosmetics, and despite the fact that they belong to the classic armor-piercing coatings (that is, they dry their lips noticeably), it is difficult to imagine this selection without them. First, the designer gathered, it seems, all the shades already existing in nature: here it is blue, and bloody wine, all the variety of nudes and beautiful green. Secondly, the scope of these lipsticks is wide - in particular, they can be easily worn before our eyes. Even the brightest and nonstandard shades behave like excellent students and do not allow bald spots and rolling.

The choice of colors is traditional, but it is very difficult to call them boring: pay attention to the bright Magenta and the successful Light Nude, which is well suited to owners of fair skin.

Wycon once again get into our reviews, but it’s really difficult to do without them - the Italian brand made a liquid matte tool, close to the ideal, before others. You already know that it is easier to list the colors that are not in the line, and once again we praise Wycon lipstick for durability and comfort: the same “put and forget” effect that Smashbox and Armani can boast, but again for less price
LASplash Forbidden Kiss

The brand has a decent selection of matte lipsticks, which, of course, will require moist lips and a neat application, but her durability is excellent. If nudes and other clear colors do not bother you, pay attention to the small Forbidden Kiss collection: five uneasy and beautiful shades are enclosed in tubes decorated with prints - yes, we have seen it somewhere, but to refuse the shade of Springbreak with blooming flowers on the lid we can categorically.
