The matte lip is making a huge impact on the beauty scene right now – pitched against the ever dominant gloss, matte gives you a more natural, fuller and healthy looking lip that is easy to pull off both in the day and night, no matter how bright you like it.

As a beauty trend the Talent Management team would recommend investing in, we thought it only right to round up our top three tried and tested matte lipsticks…

1. Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet Luminous Matte Lip Colour, £23.50

One click releases this gloss alternative from its sleek lacquered case to reveal a velvety soft matte lipstick. While we can always reply on Chanel to make us look chic, their Velvet Luminous Matte Lip Colour has to be top of our list for another reason – comfort. As moisturising as a satiny lipstick, it feels as weightless as a second skin. And with eight intensely pigmented shades to choose from, Chanel is sure to match one to your every mood.

2. Estée Lauder Pure Color Velvet Lipstick, £18.50

This limited edition Pure Color Velvet Lipstick has the word velvet in its name for a reason – its smooth and creamy formula has all opulence of velvet while remaining soft, sensuous and non-drying. Its rich and intense high-pigment shades Fuschia Velvet and Red Velvet are perfect for the high drama evening look, while the subtlety of Nude Velvet works great in the daytime.

3. Nars Pure Matte Lipstick, £18.50

Bright, bold and perfectly matte, the models here love Nars Pure Matte Lipstick as it strikes a perfect balance between intense, stay-true matte colour and hydration. Choose from dark and sensual shades including the deep aubergine pigments in Volga and the black cherry colour in Terre de Feu, right through to the nude shades in Madère and Tashkent, and the soft rose tint in Bangkok. Use it alone or with other NARS lip products for lips that look lush, fresh and vibrant.
