Anastasia Beverly Hills Matte Lipstick Swatches

The Anastasia Beverly Hills Matte Lipsticks have become my recent favorites to reach for and in this post I'm sharing my most favorite of the nudes from this range. These lipsticks are true to their name with their matte finish, they are also richly pigmented and do not feather as you wear them. They do require lip prep in the form of proper exfoliation and hydration before application the formula is not forgiving to dry/flakey lips. I personally don't find them drying on my lips but as I just I do the prep, which is not something I'm doing for this specific lip product I prep for every brand and every formula. If I want to soften the matte effect I'll use my lip balm as a base and blot before application leaving just a thin veil of it underneath the lipstick, if I'm going to the matte effect something I've recently started doing is using my face serum as a light non-greasy hydrator to hydrate and plump without disturbing the matte wear.
