Top 10: Best Matte Lipsticks In India with Reviews, Prices
On a bad day, there is always a lipstick to look forward to. Lipsticks are truly a girl’s best friend & add color to a dull & monotonous day. Whether it is glossy, satin or matte, I am sure we all love to flaunt that pretty pout! I personally love a matte lip. Matte lipsticks never go out of style & surely make a statement. They scream class & elegance. In fact, matte lip is also an ongoing beauty trend and it goes well with both formal as well as casual outfits. While matte lipsticks are relatively long-lasting and do not smudge easily, their major limitation is that they usually tend to make the lips dry. But lately, several beauty and makeup brands have been coming up with matte lipsticks
which have a comfortable finish. This way the lipstick feels light on the lips & provides the necessary moisture without making them dry. I’m presenting a
round up on the must have 10 matte lipsticks available in the Indian market along with their reviews and prices.
At times, a matte lipstick can be tricky to pull off , but in order to do full justice, it is always preferred to prep the lips first by exfoliating them properly & applying a lip balm to keep them hydrated. In addition, this helps to reduce the appearance of lip lines as well. Now let us take a look at some of the best matte lipsticks. Keep reading to find out more!

I was curious if you ever considered changing the layout of your website? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or 2 images. Maybe you could space it out better?
