A thrifty makeup lover is always on the lookout for beauty bargains, and Revlon Matte Lipstick, $8, is one of the best. These velvety matte lip colors can be used to create a wide variety of looks, ranging from natural to drama queen.



What Is It?
Revlon Matte Lipstick is a lightweight lip pigment with a velvety finish. The gel formula glides onto the lips, and the pigment stays put for hours. It is designed to provide the lips with a helpful dose of moisture, which keeps them feeling hydrated and healthy throughout wear.

This lipstick comes in a stylish plastic tube. You can see the vibrant product shade through the translucent container. These lip products are available in 16 shades, which are all highly pigmented and provide full coverage with one application.

How Do I Apply It?
To apply this Revlon lipstick, simply use the lipstick applicator wand that comes with the product. Start by applying the lipstick to the bottom lip, moving from one corner to the other with the smallest point of the applicator. Then press your lips together, which will transfer some color to the upper lip. Now that you've evened out the color distribution, move to the top lip. Be especially careful when lining your cupid's bow!

Why Is It So Great?
If you love long-wearing, lightweight liquid lipsticks, Revlon Matte Lipstick is for you. Its gel-like formula goes on easily and doesn't fade. It's an effective, affordable way to achieve a highly pigmented lip.

Are There Any Cult Favorite Shades?
There are 16 high-definition shades available, and there's something to suit every lipstick lover. If you're looking for the perfect pink, consider Revlon Matte Lipstick in HD Obsession. This bright shade of pink positively pops, and the subtle sheen makes it even prettier.

If bright red is more your scene, consider HD Love. This cherry red lip shade is classic, but it's certainly not boring. Other favorite shades include HD Devotion, the perfect "my lips but better" color, and HD Seduction, a flattering neutral color.

What Are the Reviewers Saying?
Revlon Matte Lipstick is a favorite of online bloggers and beauty reviewers who love its winning combination of affordability and versatility.

The blogger Musings of a Muse raves about the formula, saying, "I think Revlon reinvented the idea behind matte lip color here. These have a hybrid consistency that reminds me of a lip balm, lip gloss and lipstick all in one."

Miranda Mendoza of Slashed Beauty is also a fan although she wonders whether these products really have a matte finish. However, she says, "The color is outstanding, the formula is comfortable, and the lasting power is there."
