Matte Battle!

Matte liquid lipsticks have taken 2016 by storm. I have gathered a few different brands of liquid lipsticks to compare the consistencies, durabilities and pigmentation.

(From left to right: Revlon Devotion, Revlon Seduction, MAC Rich & Restless, Bourjois Cool Brown, Bourjois Peach Club, Bourjois Nude-ist, Bourjois Don't Pink Of It!, Kylie Jenner 22, Kylie Jenner True Brown K) 


 The Revlon ULTRA HD MATTE LIP COLOUR lipsticks retail at £8.99.
These lip colours are very watery and don't really dry too matte. That being said, the colours are really stunning and as they don't try too matte they aren't drying on the lips. I would recommend these products although I wouldn't consider them to be a matte lip product. 

MAC Retro Matte Liquid Lip Colours Retail at £21.
This product was extremely pigmented and not too watery. The product glided on the lips effortlessly and dried very matte. The only downside to this product is that as it did dry so matte, it did start to crumble after a while and was very drying on the lips. 

Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet Lipsticks retail at £8.99.
These products were slightly more pigmented and opaque than the Revlon lip colours, although didn't dry very matte. The colours however were very complimentary and weren't too drying on the lips. The darker shades had a better and slightly thicker consistency whereas the lighter shades seemed more watery. 

Kylie Jenner Lip Kits retail at $29 (£20.49)
These products are my favourite out of all 4 brands of liquid lipstick that I reviewed. The colours are insanely pigmented and even though the product seemed very watery, glided on the lips effortlessly and dried very quickly. They dry very matte (the most out of all products) and are extremely long wearing. 

After swatching them I could see the higher-end products were much more matte and much more pigmented (not much of a shocker)
I would recommend all four products, although if you're looking able to spend a little bit more on a longer lasting and a proper matte finish product, I would recommend the MAC lip colours or the Kylie Lip Kit. 

Hope you're all having a lovely spring :)
