20 Bold Matte Lipsticks You'll Want To Wear ASAP (Even Under A Mask)

I am obsessed with lipstick–so much that I own literally hundreds (and yes, I wear all of them). While I love a good gloss, there's nothing that has quite as much impact as matte lipstick. Opaque and pigmented, matte lipstick packs the most punch when you're looking to make a bold statement.

If you're worried about drying out your pout–fear not. After trying countless formulas out there, I've come up with a comprehensive list of matte lipsticks that give you that incredible color payoff and won't leave your lips feeling sucked lifeless. For best results, I highly suggest using a light sugar scrub beforehand, like this one from Lush, or even just rub your lips with a towel or toothbrush to create a smooth base for application. Then, follow with your favorite lip balm, or a primer like this one from MAC to make color stick even longer. Top it all off with one of the 20 all-time best matte lipsticks, ahead.
