I love Besame: besamecosmetics.com/collections/lipstick?page=1

I use the Urban Decay Ozone primer around the edge of my lip and only have to top up after food/drink.

Shameless placemarking.

I wear MAC matte as they have the most incredible staying power. But they are oh so drying. Sad

user1466690252 · 25/08/2017 17:36

amazing! I find that with the MAC aswell. it's such a shame

Mmm I was going to suggest Mac too, I love Besame but I don't know if anywhere you can get it in the UK

CBB79 · 25/08/2017 17:37

Chanel Rouge - amazing!

Bluntness100 · 25/08/2017 17:38

I use Bobbi brown, I go for the one that's basically a semi matt, lasts for ages and doesn't dry out your lips.

DragonNoodleCake · 25/08/2017 17:39

Avon mattes are surprisingly good! I have several

SheGotOffThePlane · 25/08/2017 17:40

Stila do fantastic liquid matte lipsticks.

sprinklesofweirdness · 25/08/2017 17:45

I use Sleek Matte Me, affordable and good

arousingcheer · 25/08/2017 18:04

Monkeypuzzle32 Besame do free international shipping for orders over $50. But yes, idk if there is a bricks and mortar shop here that stocks it and they don't seem to do the little books of samples anymore (or not at the moment anyway).

Callamia · 25/08/2017 18:08

Chanel - lasts forever and beautiful colours.

Argeles · 25/08/2017 20:35

Sleek Matte Me are great, and really good value too.

Skinfulnappies46 · 25/08/2017 20:56

Comfort matte from Urban Decay. Fab. They feel creamy but last. Winner for me.

Monkeypuzzle32 · 25/08/2017 21:09

arousingcheer really? I didn't know that! Must tell my husband in time for Christmas! 😆

EccentricPickle · 25/08/2017 21:12

Not sure whether it's the most amazing, as I don't often wear lipstick and don't have any other Matt, liquid lipsticks to compare it to, but I have a Collection one that is good. Lasts ages and doesn't dry my lips (I get really dry lips). It only cost me 3 quid.

Cakescakescakes · 25/08/2017 21:48

Urban decay comfort mattes here too

arousingcheer · 25/08/2017 22:26

Monkeypuzzle32 nor did I until I looked at their website today. Good idea re Christmas! Grin

Monkeypuzzle32 · 26/08/2017 09:15

I've sent him a rather large hint (email with links!)

violetbunny · 26/08/2017 09:40

Lots of good suggestions above. I would also recommend MAC's Lip primer. It makes matte lipsticks adhere longer and is also really moisturising. I always wear it under lipstick now to prevent dryness.

daimbardiva · 26/08/2017 09:43

Revlon ultra HD matte also good

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 26/08/2017 09:45

Primark matte crayons. Seriously.

MonumentsAndMelodies · 26/08/2017 10:01

There's a make called Ofra that's amazing. Can be a bit drying if you put too much on but the colours are so bright you don't really need too ( I went in a bit heavy handed first time I wore it so thought I'd mention lol) I'll try find the company I got it from.

MonumentsAndMelodies · 26/08/2017 10:03

Hookedupshop is the site I got it from. Sorry cant do links Blush

absolutelynoway · 26/08/2017 19:22

dame On the back of your post I read the reviews which are pretty good. I've ordered one in Wine. Thank you! I hope its not shit

user1466690252 · 27/08/2017 07:32

thanks everyone. I will get the primers for definite. I found the perfect colour in Nars- Olivia. Has anyone got this one?
