Thanks to one Miss Kylie Jenner, the matte lip look is currently all the rage. Love it or hate it, the trend seems to be here to stay.
Us mere mortals -- who don't have the luxury of having our own makeup artist for constant touch ups -- face the same problem when it comes to matte lipsticks: they look great on for the first 15 minutes until your lips start feeling and looking as dry as the Sahara Desert.
In the past, the formula of matte lipsticks tended to be drier than regular versions, in order to achieve a velvet smooth texture. This caused issues like flakey lips.

Thankfully, cosmetic brands have figured out new formulations that now help to fill in unsightly lines, plumps our pouts and stays on even after that burger we had for lunch.
So hold off on forking out hundreds of dollars on eBay for Kylie Jenner's Lip Kit. The perfect matte lip can still be yours with these products that are hitting the market.
