Are you sick of high-gloss, so-shiny-you-could-see-your-reflection lips? The kind you rocked each and every day a few years ago? The very same ones you see tweens piling on just before a Justin Bieber concert?
The fact is, super-shiny lips just aren’t the pinnacle of lip looks that they once were. Kate Moss is well aware of that. The global superstar has been at the forefront of fashion and beauty trends since her career began, with no signs of slowing down. Especially now that she’s spearheading yet another big beauty trend – matte lips – and they’re going to be big news, let me tell you.
Now you may have flirted with matte lips before, but you’ve probably never seen matte lips, Kate Moss style. Kate has re-established the matte lipstick trend in the form of her newest beauty offering: Rimmel London Kate Moss Lasting Finish Matte Lipstick. This super-nourishing, long-lasting, bolder-than-bold collection provides beauty lovers with the matte fix they’ve long been waiting for.
Here are five reasons this is one trend you need to try…
REASON YOU NEED A MATTE LIPSTICK #1: They’re bang on trend
We’re having a matte-attack over here. Whether it be foundation, nail polish or indeed lipstick – matte finishes are the way forward. Matte is the perfect way to provide you with a fresh, clean make-up look that seems as though it’s been pulled straight off the runway (and Kate’s lips, don’t you know.).
REASON YOU NEED A MATTE LIPSTICK #2: They’re winter-appropriate
You pull out your suede boots and your velvet jackets as soon as you start to feel the chill of winter in the air, so it only makes sense that you rock a lipstick with a bold, velvety finish, too. No matter which of the six wearable hues you choose, they tend to look warm and inviting and won’t fade away at the first sign of hot cocoa.
REASON YOU NEED A MATTE LIPSTICK #3: They’re not sticky
There are timeless tales of traditional glosses and high-shine lipstick causing havoc as soon as the wind picks up. These matte lipsticks are smooth as a baby’s bot, won’t act as a sticky trap for your locks and allow you to rub your lips together with ease (without a hint of that tacky feeling you get with some matte lip products).
REASON YOU NEED A MATTE LIPSTICK #4: They’re luxurious-looking
Rimmel London Kate Moss Lasting Finish Matte Lipstick contains ruby powder to provide a feather-light, rich, pigmented colour that transfers effortlessly on to your lips. The colour sits comfortably, kind of like a velvet blanket that fits like a glove. Such a super-smooth, luxurious-looking finish of the lipstick is complemented by its striking red packaging, which features the signature of the supermodel herself.
REASON YOU NEED A MATTE LIPSTICK #5: They can be nourishing, too!
Well, this one certainly is. The formula contains a triple blend of lightweight lip-loving emollients that make for one easy-to-glide-on lipstick that makes your kissers feel nourished and protected – and fabulous!
