Question of the Week: Are you on board with the current matte lip trend? If so, which products are you loving lately? If not, what other finish do you prefer?
Answer: YES! I have always been a fan of bold, matte lips. In fact, I avoid shiny lipsticks and flat out dislike lipgloss. So I am thrilled they are in vogue and new options are flooding the market. My current faves include NARS Pure Matte Lipsticks and Milani’s Color Statement Moisture Matte Lipsticks.

for me this is not a trend I have always been fan of matte and bold lipstick. I don’t like gloss, shine or frost just not my thing. I like more the 50 ties style.
