NARS Powermatte Lip Pigment, $38.

Matte lip products are everywhere right now – some of them awesome, some not so much. This one, however, is well worth every penny. Frankly, we’d pay more if they wanted us to.

Why? Well, it lasts all day and stays comfortable -unlike so many matte lip colours. Plus it comes in truly lust-worthy range of smudge-resistant liquid shades. The custom doe-foot applicator allows for precise application and full coverage in one swipe, drying down instantly to create an ultra-lightweight, effortless matte finish. One word – Hurrah!
