Please help me find a long lasting, matte, non drying lipstick.....because I can't! 🙄

Hi,

So I'm really struggling to find what I'm looking for.

I have dry lips, but I much prefer the matte look, to the shiny look. I don't like my lips without liner and lipstick. I feel a bit naked without it, but I feel like I'm constantly reapplying!

I'm a bit of a tricky customer because not many colours actually suit me. Can't do bold colours at all really and tend to stick to nudey , pinky brown tones. Currently wear Charlotte Tilbury Wedding Belles with Spice liner from MAC. Not long wearing at all, but love the colour. I'm cool toned, but honestly I don't really know what you'd call Wedding Belles - cool or warm. I also suit Velvet Teddy by MAC. I was under the impression you should stick to tones that match your skins undertones, but I'm pretty sure I heard Velvet Teddy was super warm. Not sure about Wedding Belles 🤔

Anyway, I'm rambling. Please can you find me something?! Ideally something I can get on next day delivery. I thought the Dior ones looked quite nice, but for the money they'd need to be!

TIA

I've tried a couple of the Lisa Eldridge velvet ones after someone recommended on here and very impressed. I've always used the MAC mattes but I find they can be very drying, the LE ones are much less so.

HUDA beauty do a really long lasting matte lip stain - think it’s for lips and cheeks.

They do one called Rose something which is definitely cool toned as I struggle to wear it as I’m very warm but as a formula it’s wonderful. Not drying at all but does not budge all day.

I am currently hooked on the Maybelline Superstay liquid lipsticks. I bought one and loved it so much I bought two more.

They do a Vinyl one in a square tube which is described as glossy finish, but isn't really, just looks like a regular lipstick, and they also do a Matte Ink one, which might suit you better.

Both types last for hours and hours, literally from when I get up until I scrub it off at bedtime, and there is a good range of colours. I prefer the Vinyl one personally, because I found the colours a little bit less harsh.

Primark have a couple of nice matte nudes. I didn't find them drying at first, until the lid kept falling off . They were £1.50.

Another vote for Maybellibe.

Maybelline matte ink is amazing. Only lip product I ever use.

AngelinaJowly · 31/07/2024 15:31

Thanks for your replies! Can somebody recommend me a Maybelline shade? Looks like that's the winner so far 👍

Have you thought of a tint? I use benefit cha cha tint which is a mango colour, and play tint which is a lovely red- and that looks lovely and matte

Came to recommend these

WeRateSquirrels · 31/07/2024 15:48

I also think the Lisa Eldridge ones are great, and I'm not usually a fan of matte lipsticks.

OneRealRosePlayer · 31/07/2024 16:06

i love rom&nd at the moment. They mainly have lip stains. They feel soft but last a while

SaintHonoria · 31/07/2024 16:38

I bought a three of these recently, they aren't drying and are long lasting.

I got a Stila Stay All Day lip colour in a beauty box. Although the colour didn’t suit me it had a gorgeous velvety matte texture and felt very nourishing (my lips are quite dry too). Staying power was also very good too.

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 31/07/2024 17:01

Avon hydramatic I think they're called,really good.

SwordBilledHummingbird · 31/07/2024 18:50

I've got a couple of Vieve ones and they're brilliant. Very long lasting and not at all drying.

learieonthewildmoor · 31/07/2024 19:01

Peripera Ink Velvet lip tint is matte and non drying. Absolutely the best. Comes in about 40 colours with a huge range of cool nudes. #17 Strawberry nude is a lovely cool pink nude.

AngelinaJowly · 01/08/2024 17:20

Thanks again everyone. I purchased a Maybelline lipstick in the shade Seductress and I LOVE it 😍 Hasn't budged all day and keeps my lip liner in place too, which was an unexpected bonus 👍 I put a little bit of EA 8hr cream over the top, just to give a bit more moisture, but it hasn't altered the longevity.

I really hope I don't wake up tomorrow with scaly lips! 😬

The Wonderskib lipstain has changed my life!

Max Factor Lipfinity. Acceptable range of colours and stays on all day.

Fathomless · 01/08/2024 22:58

ooh following!

Max Factor Lipfinity. Acceptable range of colours and stays on all day.

I used to swear by that as it does stay in but it is very drying.

heinztomatosoup · 01/08/2024 23:15

I just came on to say Maybelline Seductress and see you found it! It's my daily go to, dries darker than when applied. It's amazing!

TheFormidableMrsC · 01/08/2024 23:30

MUA in Superdrug do lovely Matt lipsticks. I have Super Nude with matching lipliner. Cheap as chips and really Matt but I don't find them drying.
