2018 Is All About Soft, Sheer, Matte Lips

Here's how to rock the blotted lip look

Urban Decay's newest lip product is so good, we're counting it as one of the best lipsticks ever. Between the innovative packaging (you'll love how the doe-foot applicator pops out when you open the pint-sized compact), the edgy shade range and the light-as-air formula, this sheer blotted lipstick's a winner.

Though a new addition to Burberry's lineup, this unique lip product is already starting to disappear off of shelves. And it's easy to see why: It's got a buildable formula that dries down to a lovely matte stain that wears evenly (and comfortably) throughout the day.

Paint your lips with a few swipes of this new matte liquid lipstick formula — it's light as a feather and though it's got a gorgeous velvet-matte finish and a whole lot of color payoff, the formula is sheer and blendable enough that you won't find it intimidating (and if intimidating's your game, just add another layer — or check out the line's more dramatic Victoria's Secret Velvet Matte Cream Lip Stain, $14).

"Creamy Plumping Lip Powder" might seem like a contradictory collection of words, but somehow this lippie manages to live up to its name. It applies smoothly with its sponge-tip applicator, adds a tingly plumping effect and has a lovely, semi-matte finish. We recommend blending with your fingers to get that sheered-out, lived-in look.

Remember the early days of Glossier? This was one of the brand's first color cosmetics products — and what a win it was (and is). It's lightweight like a balm and has a lovely, low-key, semi-matte finish that's oh-so-natural (officially making it the best of both worlds).
