Matte lipsticks are the best choice for a subdued or formal appearance. The best aspect about matte lipsticks is that they give your lips a luscious appearance, feel feathery light, and rarely smudge when worn with a face mask. Matte lipsticks are a crowd favourite in Singapore due to their muted appearance.

Matte lipsticks make your lips feel extremely light, look rich, and rarely smudge. Matte-finish lipsticks are very comfortable on the lips. They are lightweight and come in a wide range of colours. They keep your lips moisturised, leaving a lovely matte finish with less effort, apt for Singapore weather. The applicator of these lipsticks is the best option, as they are unique and gentle on your lips. They diffuse easily and give a soft focus effect. Some of these lipsticks also have ingredients like hyaluronic acid, shea butter, and avocado oil. These matte lipsticks are long-lasting and do not make your lips feel dry. Not to worry, we’re here to help you pick your best matte lipstick choice!
