5 Reasons Why These YSL Beauté Lipsticks Got Us Swearing Off Matte Lips
In my 11 years as a self-professed lipstick connoisseur, I’ve learned three things: I will never not find it strange to see my own face without a matte red lip, ‘moisturising’ matte lipsticks are a myth to some extent and if your friend/loved one says she’s ‘not a lipstick person’, there’s no changing their minds about it no matter how many gorgeous lipstick selfies you send them.
Lipsticks have been around centuries and they’ve pretty much gone through every phase imaginable; from frost to satin, glitter to powders and everyone’s got a formula they’re loyal to. For the past few years, thanks to Insta-famous MUAs and one Kardashian/Jenner daughter, matte lippies reigned supreme until sometime this year when our attentions shifted towards glossier finishes.
I’ll admit there’s a certain youthfulness that comes with wearing gloss, but is it really worth your hair getting caught in it? Not for me.
