Price: $4.99 * Buy At: Walgreens * Size: 0.21 oz / 6 g The Wet n Wild Liquid Catsuit Matte Lipstick in Nudie Patootie is a light nude with a cool undertone. The Liquid Catsuit Matte Lipsticks come in a clear tube and have a spongy applicator. The applicator has a divot in the middle, it is interesting and I haven’t seen another liquid lipstick with a similar applicator. I actually really like it however, it prevents too much product building up along the lip line. The product is thin and glides on easily to the lips. It is easy to get the color completely opaque on the lips and it dries down quickly. Naturally, being a matte liquid lipstick, the Liquid Catsuit formula is drying on the lips, but it is not as drying as the ColourPop Ultra Matte Lips. I really love the color of Nudie Patootie, it is my kind of nude. I think the formula is great, and with a $5 price tag, how can you go wrong? XOX ♥

Price: $6.99 * Buy At: Ulta * Size: 4 mL The Nyx Liquid Suede Cream Lipstick in Foul Mouth is a muted navy with a demi matte finish. The Liquid Suede Cream Lipsticks come in a colored plastic tube and have a long, slanted wand. Foul Mouth has intense pigmentation and applies opaquely onto the lips. Foul Mouth is similar to a typical matte liquid lipstick in the sense that the color won’t move on the lips, but it feels much more comfortable on the lips. Foul Mouth doesn’t dry down to a complete matte, but it gets pretty close to it. As you wear it, the product can get a bit uncomfortable, but it is easy to re-apply over the remaining color. I love the color and I think it is so unique--it is a pretty wearable version of a blue lip, so if you want to try the trend, this may be the way to go. XOX ♥
Price: $6 * Buy At: ColourPop Website * Size: 3.2 g The ColourPop Ultra Matte Liquid Lipstick in Jellies is a muted dark royal blue with a matte finish. The Ultra Matte Liquid Lipsticks come in a long clear tube and have a typical doe foot applicator. Jellies has a thin formula that applies opaquely onto the lips. As you can probably imagine, the formula does feel drying on the lips, but it does tend to feel more comfortable as wear goes on. The product will have a very good wear time, as long as you don’t rub your lips together or eat oily or greasy foods, as it will break down the color. Jellies is definitely not a color for everyone, but if you are familiar with my preferred lip colors, you would know that I love bold, edgy colors like Jellies. Blue lip colors are having a bit of a trend at the moment, and Jellies is a very affordable way to try out the trend. To add some comfort on top, I will sometimes use the Nyx Soft Matte Lip Cream in Moscow which is a navy blue. This will give you the lasting power of Jellies, but with more moisture on the lips.

Price: $2.99 * Buy At: Kmart * Size: 0.11 oz / 3 g The Jordana Sweet Cream Matte Liquid Lip Color in Mango Sorbet is a bright red-orange liquid lip color with a natural matte finish. The Jordana Sweet Cream Matte Liquid Lip Colors come in a clear tube with a classic doe foot applicator. The product has a subtle vanilla scent, but it is not sickly sweet or overpowering. I find the formula to be a mix between the Nyx Soft Matte Lip Creams and a matte liquid lipstick. It has a moussy texture, but it sets more on the lips than the Nyx Lip Creams. Mango Sorbet is intensely pigmented and applies super smooth and evenly to the lips. Since it doesn’t dry down completely like a matte liquid lipstick, it doesn’t appear or feel drying on the lips, giving the lips a smooth appearance, not the “desert mouth” that some super matte lip colors tend to give. Mango Sorbet is an intense, vibrant color and the formula works well with it. I would only use a matte liquid lipstick for a bright lip color. Mango Sorbet doesn't have quite the wear time as the ColourPop Ultra Matte Lips, but it does stay on the lips better than a lipstick. XOX ♥
Price: $6.99 * Buy At: Ulta * Size: 4 mL The Nyx Liquid Suede Cream Lipstick in Brooklyn Thorn is a dark grey mauve with a demi matte finish. The Liquid Suede Cream Lipsticks come in a colored plastic tube and have a long, slanted wand. Brooklyn Thorn applies opaquely to the lips thanks to its highly pigmented formula. Once applied, the product will not move around on the lips, but it does not dry completely matte, which makes it more comfortable than a traditional matte liquid lipstick. On the lips, the product is not sticky whatsoever and has a slightly moisturizing aspect. Brooklyn Thorn can get a bit uncomfortable throughout the day, but it reapplies easily on top of the existing color without crumbling or appearing uneven. The wear time is between a typical lipstick and a matte liquid lipstick, so it is best to keep the product on you for touch-ups. I love grey toned lip colors, and Brooklyn Thorn could be a more easy-to-wear shade if you are interested that kind of color. XOX ♥
Price: $7 * Buy At: Ulta * Size: 0.13 oz The Nyx Embellishment Lip Lingerie Liquid Lipstick is a medium dusty purple with a matte finish. The Nyx Lip Lingerie Liquid Lipstick comes in a long, clear tube and has a flat applicator. The formula of the Lingerie Lip Lingerie is quite interesting, and different from a typical matte liquid lipstick. It doesn’t go on opaque like a paint, but it quickly builds up to a full coverage on the lips. Personally, I find the texture to be a cross between Nyx’s Soft Matte Lip Cream and a typical matte liquid lipstick, like one from ColourPop. The product feels a bit uncomfortable on the lips following application, but after a bit, the wear is quite comfortable. Embellishment lasts on the lips like other liquid lipsticks, and needs some kind of oil to remove (I like using coconut oil). XOX ♥
Price: $6 * Buy At: ColourPop Website * Size: 3.2 g The ColourPop Ultra Matte Liquid Lipstick in Zipper is a dark purple liquid lipstick with a matte finish. The ColourPop Ultra Matte Lips come in a clear tube with a classic doe foot applicator. Zipper’s formula is a bit more patchy than other shades of the Ultra Matte Lips that I have tried. It wasn’t bad, or even all that noticeable, but it definitely did not apply as opaque as other colors. Zipper still feels thin and light on the lips, but like most matte liquid lipsticks, Zipper does have a dry feeling. For the most part, you won't notice the dryness unless you press your lips together. Zipper has good lasting power, as long as you don't rub your lips together, as it will cause the product to flake off. XOX ♥
Price: $20 * Buy At: Sephora * Size: 6.6 mL The Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in Requiem is a medium grey toned lavender with a matte finish. The Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipsticks come in long, thin tubes with a cute tattoo design. They come with a typical doe foot applicator. Requiem has intense color payoff, not needing to be built up on the lips for an opaque look. It dries to a very matte finish, fairly quickly, and feels pretty comfortable on the lips. Any matte liquid lipstick is going to feel at least a bit dry on the lips, but Requiem is pretty comfortable as far as matte liquid lipsticks go. I personally love purple lip colors, so Requiem is right up my alley, and could maybe be a gateway into purple lips for the nude lips lover. XOX ♥
Price: $6 * Buy At: Ulta * Size: 0.16 oz The Nyx Matte Lipstick in Haze is a warm toned grey with a natural matte finish. Haze is one of Nyx’s newest releases from their Matte Lipstick line. The Nyx Matte Lipsticks come in a matte black tube with a clear middle, that lets the product’s color peek through. While Haze looks pretty grey, it is noticeably warmer in tone to the other grey in Nyx’s Matte Lipstick line: Ultra Dare. These lipsticks are some of my favorite matte lip products; they have a smooth formula that feels comfortable on the lips, despite the matte finish. Because it is in a typical lipstick format, it will transfer, unlike the popular matte liquid lipsticks, but, this makes the wear much more comfortable and makes application easier. If you are wanting to try out this edgier lip color, I would recommend purchasing either Haze or Ultra Dare, depending on your color preferences. XOX ♥
Price: $6 * Buy At: Ulta * Size: 0.16 oz The Nyx Matte Lipstick in Minx is a medium tan brown with a matte finish. Minx 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, showcasing the color inside. Nyx’s Matte Lipsticks are one of my favorite matte lip colors. They are very comfortable, and even moisturizing, on the lips, something that you don’t always find with mattes. It does not dry down to a completely dry, flat matte, but it definitely is without any kind of glossy finish. Minx is pretty opaque and applies smooth and even to the lips. Minx may not be a color for everyone, but I personally love brown lips, and prefer them as a statement lip instead of, say, a bright pink. XOX ♥
