2018 Is All About Soft, Sheer, Matte Lips

Here's how to rock the blotted lip look
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).

Peripera Ink Velvet Lip Tint, $13.49
This lip tint is quite unique: Though packed with pigment, it's easy to sheer out to your desired level of drama. And once it's dried and set, it feels like nothing on your lips — and leaves a long-lasting stain all day long.
