If you’re like me and not at all sure on mattes, it doesn’t make any sense to do a big splash for a ‘let’s see’. Makeup Revolution has released some new mattes. I’ve put Red Carpet to the test (yes, I even went to Tesco wearing it!) and even though it’s a £3 lipstick, it didn’t dry my lips. It didn’t moisturise them either, but crucially, my lips aren’t as shrivelled as raisins which is often what can happen with mattes on my mouth.
From bottom to top are: Members Club, Best Friend, Diamond Life, Red Carpet and Chauffeur. In terms of colour stay, they aren’t the longest lasters I’ve ever come across, but pigment is great – no complaints at all in that respect. I would mind having to top up on a £25 lipstick, but I can’t say I would find that a problem on a £3 one. Matte formulas are really improving and this is a good one to try if you’re in the oh-no-I-can’t brigade. Because, as I’m discovering more and more myself, you probably can. Better still, there isn’t any taste to these and they’re mildly, slightly sweetly scented – no big smack down of vanilla.
They’re available from TAM Beauty HERE.

These are lovely shades and although their lasting power isn’t that impressive, they’re great for £3! Those darker shades are gorgeous for fall x

Red Carpet is my choice. Love the punch in that one!
Love Red Carpet, such a good price as well! x

I struggle with matte lipsticks. I bought MAC Ruby Woo and was so excited waiting for it to arrive but it is terrible to put on and my lips feel awful. I will get some of these and a bargain too!!
Hi Jane – I have just recieved Chauffeur – I don’t normally like mattes but this is just gorgeous. It really is not drying and I love it. It ers on the cool, dark nude and is flattering against my medium fair skin tone. By the way, I also finally recieved your collaboration palette ‘Fortune Favours The Brave’ – I can’t ever see myself tiring of this or running out of options – I am a neutrals girl normally – I was so excited about receiving it and it has certainly exceeded my expectations – well done and thank you xx
