Matte + lipsticks = LOVE! My matte lippie obsession is growing which meant I was ridiculously excited to hear about the new Matte Lip Liquids by Illamasqua. As part of the exclusive ‘matte’ summer range they’ve released 3 new beauties.
Full swatches below!
My absolute favourite of the two is Exotic, a stunning, bright orange red which is practically MAC’s Morange but in matte liquid formula. As you know I much prefer red shades with an orange tone which explains why this is my new fav – I even took it as the only red lippie on holiday with me last week.
The Barbie purple based pink is called Forbidden, and boy, it is bright in real life! I’m still gearing up the courage to wear this out but I think it’s stunning and would suit a tan beautifully.
I’ve seen a lot of people talking about the formula of these so I wanted to input my thoughts also. These apply as a liquid but dry to a matte effect on the lips after a couple of seconds. I find the thin brush very easy for me to apply the product and it just takes practise creating the perfect, even base. The product does feel quite drying once set, but to be honest I’ve never found a matte lipstick that isn’t (compromise, right?). I’ve found that it lasts well whilst lightly kissing/eating/drinking but will need applying after a full meal etc. I am actually wearing this in my previous outfit post here and only re-applied once in the night at that party.
I hope I haven’t rambled too much. All in all, I really love these and am definitely eyeing up the third shade already – Surrender, a gorgeous peachy nude. These are available for £18.50!
Do you like matte liquid lipsticks? Which is your fav?

I love Forbidden! I wish that I could find a matte lipstick that wasn't completely drying, but I don't think it is possible….
These are actually stunning! You look gorgeous. I'm not normally a pink lipstick fan but I love the pink one on you!

These are lovely, I've been using Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet and I haven't re-applied it all day. I love a long lasting lipstick. Exotic suits you so well 🙂

Both of these shades look absolutely stunning on you! I've found liquid matte lippies to be a bit too drying on my lips unfortunately x

These look gorgeous, especially the pink. I need to give my lips a little TLC before I can wear any matte lip products. They seem to be so dry this summer, not cute

The orange shade is soo nice! I love matte lips I just think it's easier to way on a day to day basis. Glossy lips make me feel too done up xx
The orange shade really suits you! I know the pink would be more of my sort of shade. They remind me a little of the MUA Velvet luxe matte lip colours, only (obviously) a bit more heavier on the price tag! Beautiful shades though!

I love these kind of matte liquid lip products but unfortunately I don't think any of these colours would suit me 🙁 They look great on you though! Hopefully they'll decided to bring out some more shades soon!

I've never been a fan of matte lipstick formulas at all because my lips are naturally dry and I've always found them uncomfortable. But since trying Revlon's Matte balms and Bourjois' Rouge Edition velvets I've been converted, but I think only because these ones are so easy to wear x

These look amazing! I've just ordered 'Forbidden' at your recommendation!

I like both the lip shades on you and a very nice review. I personally like matte lip colors because I hate too much shimmer or if the color is too sheer. Am loving NYX matte lip creams at the moment !
