Any beauty aficionado would know about the iconic Professional Makeup Soft Matte Lip Cream — which is why it comes as no surprise that this lippie is well-loved by many across the globe.

Otherwise known as one of Maybelline’s most bestselling shades, the Superstay Matte Ink lipstick is a force to be reckoned with. The lippie is also said to last up to 12 hours with no transfer or smudge, and it also comes in an extensive range of colours — think: reds, pinks and nudes — making it one of the staples in any beauty arsenal.

#3: Kylie Jenner Lip Kit

Keeping Up With The Kardashian star, Kylie Jenner needs no introduction. Her beauty label, Kylie Cosmetics first launched in 2014, and it has garnered the likes of millions all over the world. In fact, some of her products have also received the seal of approval by some of the biggest names in the makeup industry including NikkieTutorials, Jeffrey Stars and Carli Bybel.

But which of her products made the cut? Of course, it’d have to be her signature Kylie Lip Kits that many beauty junkies swear by. Some of the popular bestselling shades include the Candy K Matte Lip Kit — a soft rosy nude — and the Bite Me Matte Lip Kit, which comes in a darker, vampy red hue.

#7: Urban Decay Vice

This lipstick is beloved for its ability to look good on virtually everyone. Available in 9 different shades, most of its lipsticks are already sold out online on Sephora — which goes to show how popular it is amongst the masses.

More importantly, what many love about this particular lipstick is that it hugs the lips, and feels ultra-comfortable upon application. It glides on effortlessly and it leaves your lips feeling hydrated, soft and conditioned thanks to ingredients like aloe vera, jojoba, avocado, and babassu oils, just to name a few.

This lippie is easily a favourite for many for its amazing formula that glides on seamlessly like a gloss but dries with the matte finish of an opaque lipstick. What’s more, the lippie also nourishes your lips and prevents it from cracking and flaking while staying vibrant all day.
