Matte lipsticks from high street makeup stores are some of the best budget-friendly beauty finds.

They offer great color payoff, comfortable formulas, and shades that can easily fit into any collection!

1. Rimmel Stay Matte Liquid Lip Colour

I came across these shades thanks to a thoughtful gift and was pleasantly surprised by the formula. The shade Blush is a lovely soft pink that truly resembles its name, while Raw Kiss is a peachy that felt a little too light at first but pairs perfectly with a darker lip liner. The texture is transfer-proof, and wears for hours without fading too quickly.

2. NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream

This line has always been a personal favorite because of how lightweight and comfortable it feels on the lips. The shade Capetown — a cool-toned was my top pick, though it seems harder to find now. While the formula isn't the longest-lasting, it makes up for it by being one of the most wearable and easy-to-reapply mattes out there.

3. Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick

This is one of the most long-lasting formulas available at mass markets. The staying power is impressive, but the formula can sometimes feel a little heavy and settle unevenly if layered too much.

Each of these lipsticks has its strengths. Together, they cover different needs, from daily wear to all-day events. High street mattes are proof that you don’t need to splurge for gorgeous lips!
