Matte lipstick is a type of cosmetic application for lips which is known for its ability to last all day and its lack of shine. Matte lipstick has gone through periods of popularity since it became common for women to wear lipstick in the early 1900s. Although there hasn’t been a hard rule, matte lipstick is usually preferred by younger women. The long-lasting nature of matte lipstick creates a drying effect which isn’t usually preferred by older women who tend to have dry skin. Additionally, it does not work well on the chapped lips of women of any age because it doesn’t contain any emollients, which are responsible for moisturizing the skin.
Matte lipsticks stick to your lips longer than their glossy counterparts. You just need to apply them once for them to last a day. You can still wear a bold color without looking as though you are about to go overboard with your makeup. This is probably one of the biggest benefits of wearing matte lipstick. You don’t have to worry about them smudging with every little thing that you do with your mouth, especially when you’re eating. You won’t feel all too concerned about always carrying a mirror or looking at yourself on your phone to see if your lipstick has spread out of bounds.
