Price: $6 * Buy At: Ulta * Size: 0.16 oz The Nyx Matte Lipstick in Ultra Dare is a medium dark cool toned grey with a matte finish. Ultra Dare is part of Nyx’s newest release from the Matte Lipstick line. The Nyx Matte Lipsticks come in a matte black tube that is clear in the center, making it easy to see the color inside. I am quite a fan of grey-toned lipsticks, so I figured why not go bold with a straight up grey. I don’t think that it would flatter warm skin tones very much, but I like how it looks against my cool skin tone. The Nyx Matte Lipsticks are the most comfortable matte lipstick I have tried and Ultra Dare is no different. The product glides on to the lips and feels moisturizing on the lips. XOX ♥

Price: $6 * Buy At: Ulta * Size: 0.16 oz / 4.5 g The Nyx Matte Lipstick in Up The Bass is a dark grey-toned purple with a matte finish. Up The Bass is part of Nyx’s newest release from the Matte Lipstick line. The Nyx Matte Lipsticks are packaged in a matte black tube that’s clear in the center, making it easy to see the color inside. I love the formula of Nyx’s Matte Lipsticks, they are probably the most moisturizing matte I have tried. Up The Bass glides onto the lips, and feels very comfortable on the lips, despite the matte finish. The wear time of these lipsticks are more along the lines of a typical lipstick, requiring a couple of touch-ups throughout the day. However, I find that the occasional touch-ups are worth the comfortable, moisturizing wear. I personally love grey-toned lip colors, so Up The Bass is right up my alley, and could be an easier way to wear purple lips for those with cool skintones like mine. XOX ♥
Price: $21 * Buy At: Ulta * Size: 0.4 fl oz / 12 mL The Too Faced Melted Chocolate Liquified Long Wear Lipstick in Chocolate Honey is a warm medium tan with a subtle shine. The Too Faced Melted Lipsticks come in a colored squeeze tube with a soft sponge applicator. The Chocolate range of the Melted Lipsticks has Too Faced’s signature cocoa powder scent, although it is not as strong as the scent of products like the Chocolate Bar Palette. Chocolate Honey is not as intense and opaque as other shades from the Melted line, but it still has even pigmentation and coverage on the lips. Unlike most liquid lipsticks currently on the market, the Melted Lipsticks do not set on the lips and are prone to transferring. However, I am not opposed to this as Chocolate Honey is extremely comfortable on the lips. It feels very thin and moisturizing, something I always look for in a lip product. Because Chocolate Honey doesn’t set on the lips, it does not have the wear time that other liquid lipsticks have, so I would keep the product on hand for touch-ups throughout the day. XOX ♥
Price: $5 * Buy At: ColourPop Website * Size: 3.2 The ColourPop Ultra Matte Liquid Lipstick in Scrooge is a dark, warm berry with a matte finish. Scrooge is a part of ColourPop’s Christmas collection. The ColourPop Ultra Matte Lips come in a clear tube and a typical doe foot applicator. I typically am not a fan of colors like this, but for some reason, I really like how Scrooge looks on me. The formula is thin and very opaque, it needed no building up to get intense coverage on the lips. It can be pretty drying after application, but it feels more comfortable on the lips after a little bit. I honestly don't feel it on my lips throughout the day. Scrooge does have very good lasting power, but since it's a darker shade, I would keep it on you in case you need to touch up during the day. XOX ♥
Price: $6.99 * Buy At: Target * Size: 0.26 fl oz The Maybelline Nude Flush Vivid Matte Liquid Lip Color is a classic neutral pink with a demi matte finish. The Vivid Matte Liquid Lip Colors come in a clear rectangular tube with a flat sponge applicator. As apparent in the swatches, this product is not opaque, which surprised me considering this is supposed to be a matte liquid lipstick. On the lips, the product has a bit of a tingly feel, which I'm not crazy about, but I know some people do like it. The lip color never sets on the lips--another thing I was not expecting. It is never fully matte, and is definitely not transfer-proof. The color leaves behind a bit of a stain, but other than that, the Vivid Matte Liquid Lip Colors do not perform like most matte liquid lipsticks. The product is not bad, but it's more like a pigmented gloss than a liquid lipstick. XOX ♥
Price: $6 * Buy At: ColourPop Website * Size: 3.2 g The ColourPop Ultra Matte Liquid Lipstick in Platform is a medium warm tan nude with a matte finish. Platform is a part of ColourPop’s Christmas collection. The ColourPop Ultra Matte Lips come in a clear tube and a classic doe foot applicator. Platform looks really light and peachy when first applying it, but it gets noticeably darker and more muted as it dries. I really like how the end color looks on me, it’s nude, but not too light where it washes me out. Platform has very opaque coverage and a thin formula, making it super easy to apply. It does have a dry feeling on the lips since it is matte, but it feels pretty thin on the lips, so it is not bad. XOX ♥
Price: $16 * Buy At: Sephora * Size: 4 mL The Sephora Luster Matte Long-Wear Lip Color in Russet Luster is a bright red orange with a demi matte finish. The Sephora Long-Wear Lip Colors have a long flat applicator, different than the typical doe foot. Russet has very opaque color payoff; it does not need any building up during application. The formula is rather thin, and it effortlessly glides onto the lips. The product never fully dries on the lips, like a matte liquid lipstick, although it does stay feeling hydrating. Since it doesn't dry down, it's not quite the long wearing lip color that it claims to be, as it can easily transfer. I still enjoy this lip color, it's pigmented and easy to apply, but if transferring is a problem for you, this might not be the best lip color for you. XOX ♥
Price: $5 * Buy At: ColourPop Website * Size: 1 g The ColourPop Lippie Stix in Polliwog is a warm tan nude with a cream finish. The ColourPop Lippie Stix come in a long, white, twist-up tube with the product’s color on the end. Polliwog has a very smooth, creamy formula that feels slightly balmy on the lips. This makes it comfortable on the lips and it's easy to reapply without a mirror since the formula is a bit balmy. It has a somewhat glossy finish, especially for a lipstick. I typically really like brown and tan nude lip colors, but for some reason I feel that Polliwog just looks kind of odd on me. I would probably pair it with another color or a lip liner to make it more flattering on my skin tone. XOX ♥
Price: $6 * Buy At: ColourPop Website * Size: The ColourPop Ultra Matte Liquid Lipstick in Tulle is a muted burgundy with a matte finish. The Ultra Matte line comes with a typical doe foot applicator, making application quick and easy. The product applies quite smoothly to the lips and Tulle's formula is very opaque. The lipstick dries quickly, leaving the lips with a very matte look. Tulle feels rather thin on the lips, but unfortunately drying. To me, the product feels almost like a dry film on the lips. However, you don't particularly notice it unless you press your lips together. Tulle stays on the lips pretty well and does not smudge or move around, but some of the color will come off if you are drinking something. The only thing I don't like about this liquid lipstick is that if you rub your lips together, the product can sort of flake off and this can be unflattering. So, I would definitely keep the product with you throughout the day for touch ups. XOX ♥
Price: $6 * Buy At: ColourPop Website * Size: 3.2 g The ColourPop Ultra Matte Liquid Lipstick in Trap is a matte grey toned mauve. The Ultra Matte line comes with a classic doe foot applicator, making application quick and easy. The product applies very smoothly to the lips and Trap is quite opaque. The lipstick dries quickly, leaving the lips with a very matte look. On the lips, Trap feels rather thin, but unfortunately drying. To me, the product feels like a dry film on the lips. However, you don't particularly notice it unless you press your lips together. Trap stays on the lips pretty well and does not smudge or move, but some of the color will come off if you are drinking something. The only thing I don't like about this liquid lipstick is that if you rub your lips together, the product sort of flakes off and it is rather unflattering. So, I would definitely keep the liquid lipstick with you throughout the day for touch ups. XOX ♥
