For a statement-pout matte lips are undeniably your best bet. The shine-free, flat-pigmented craze hit the runways last season and has been every fashionista’s obsession since. It’s no wonder that internet sensation Kylie Jenner launched her own range of Matte Lip Kits. What’s more amazing was that every product went out of stock within seconds, a minute to be precise!
Now, if you weren’t one of the first few to snag those shades, stay calm, we’ve got our own rival reveal! The Faces Ultime Pro Creme Lip Crayon range. Confused? The Canadian brand, Faces, recently introduced another gloss-free collection. Thinner than a chubby stick available in ten gorgeous hues, all your colour cravings end here. Read on for a review of each tint.
1
If you love classic red lips like Marilyn Monroe or Taylor Swift, this is your go-to shade. Line your pout with a lip balm first and swipe on this scarlet tube for a full-lipped luscious kiss.
2
This more orange-than-coral hue complements all skin tones. The easy-to-use crayon will steal a place in your handbag as it adds that pop of colour to instantly up your glam factor.
3
If you’re the keep-it-simple-kind, this warm peachy nude with undertones of brown is your perfect pair with daily work outfits.
4
This super-cute, girl next door red colour has the slightest orange tinge and will soon be your favourite accompaniment to a gal night around town filled with chuckles, sangrias and chick flicks.
5
Just as the name suggests, this crowd-pleasing mocha brown looks more detectable on your lips than your “but first, coffee please” caffeinated formula.
6
Ever wondered what happened if you blended a dash of brown and oodles of orange? Our spotlights on Sun Dew, this nude-ish mix suits any mood.
7
Inspired by the current nude matte lip fad this crayon is a muted light rust-brown, that will soon replace your current everyday fave.
8
This maroonish raspberry jam like pigment glides on easily and lasts almost all day. With its ultra-hydrating formula, the added plus point is that your lips won’t feel dry at all.
9
A slightly darker version of rose taupe, this pull-to-open pencil settles into the crevices of your lips for a deep burgundy camera-ready pout.
10
The last shade is by far our favourite. Travel back in time to the ’90s for a grunge look as this colour dries into a light dusty brown.
There you have it, each of the shades explicitly decoded. What’s your first buy going to be?
