Matte lipsticks have regained a tremendous amount of traction lately, and have enjoyed tremendous popularity this season. There are heavyweight contenders, like Tom Ford Beauty, setting hearts aflutter with gorgeous and visionary interpretations of the matte lipstick, but don't forget that Burberry Beauty has a delightful range of mattes that are an absolute delight to wear.

Burberry's interpretation of the matte lipstick is exceedingly comfortable on the lips, has the perfect amount of cushion, and as the name suggests has a long-wearing formula. Unlike many mattes, Burberry's are not drying to the lips, and are in fact slightly moisturizing.

I have two of them in my collection, and these beauties glide across the lips effortlessly, deposit color evenly, and they do not settle into lip lines. Furthermore, they achieve full opaque coverage in a single pass, have gorgeously luscious pigmentation, and do not have a flat finish. If you are sensitive to fragrance, however, be advised that these lipsticks have the same rose scent for which Burberry is known. However, I detect no taste once applied to the lips.

According to Burberry Beauty,

Burberry innovation brings a new finish for lips: a velvety matte radiance, inspired by the most opulent of English fabrics. Iconic pigments provide incredibly dense and luminous color, gel technology gives comfortable long-wear performance, while triglycerides and wild rose continuously hydrate. The result is effortlessly elegant, protective and breathable.

Antique Pink No. 303 is a neutral pinky brown.
