Matte Lipstick

Pros:

• Bold and vibrant look

• Doesn’t smudge easily

• Ideal for photos (no flashback shine)

• Long-lasting without frequent reapplication

Cons:

• Can be drying, especially on chapped lips

• May emphasize lip lines or texture

• Requires prep (exfoliation & moisturizing)

Application Tips:

1. Exfoliate lips – use a lip scrub or toothbrush to remove dead skin.

2. Moisturize – apply a thin layer of balm; let it absorb.

3. Line lips – use a lip liner to define and prevent feathering.

4. Apply – use a brush or applicator for precision.

5. Blot – dab with tissue and apply a second layer for longevity.
