The obsession with matte lipsticks has reached an all-time high. The difference between these and the other lipsticks available in the market is that matte not only manages to give you that perfect pout but it is also long lasting and it stays in place without transferring to places, unlike creamy and glossy lipsticks. But finding the perfect one which gives you that perfect velvety look without drying the skin as well as fitting into your budget may be hard to find. So to make your lives easier here are our top 5 picks on matte lipsticks that will give you that required finish without breaking the bank.

• NYX

This brand has some of the best lipsticks and when it comes to matte, they are at the top of their game. Name it and they have it. The soft liquid matte lipstick and their velvet matte lipstick are definitely the way to go and they will cost you between Rs.600- Rs.800.

• Chambor Powder Matte Rose Fresque

This brand has that perfect rose pink shade which makes you pout ready. Priced at Rs 650, the lipstick can easily last you up to 8 hrs, giving you both moisturised lips and the matte effect. If you’re looking to make a bold statement then this is the way to go.

• Maybelline New York Lip Gradation

This list wouldn’t be complete without Maybelline’s Gradation. The brand has definitely stepped up their make-up game by introducing the Gradation lipstick into the market. The best part of this is that it gives you the velvet look without making the lips flaky or drying them out, it will also last for about 8 hrs and you can get it for around Rs.600.

• Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick

If our first 3 picks are still out of your budget then you can try Rimmel’s Lasting Finish Lipstick. While it comes at a cheap price, the downfall is that it will last you only 5 hrs but it will give you that creamy matte finish. They come in 15 shades but our favourite is the rose pink and the red shade. This product will set you back Rs. 275.

• Colorbar Velvet Matte Lipstick

Colorbar Velvet Matte Lipstick is another must try if you’re on a tight budget. Costing around Rs.275, this lipstick has a very creamy matte feel to it but it will leave your lips moisturised and they also have a range of 20 shades to choose from.
