Matte Makeup is Back and Better Than Ever

It’s the season of sparkle and shine, so amid the glitter and gloss, perhaps the easiest way to stand out is actually to dial it down. It’s true. Matte makeup can lift and blur the skin to new heights of flawlessness. It acts like a filter that gives off an airbrushed effect, which means it’s the kind of trend you’ll want to add into your makeup routine. This season, there’s a big focus on lips, which are soft, hydrating and blurring all at once. But it doesn’t stop there. The formulas are equally impressive across foundations, primers and even blushes too. Ready to commit to a less is more approach to makeup? Say goodbye to shine with 7 matte makeup picks that look good one everyone—especially you.
