Editor Quote: “Unlike most matte formulas that feel drying and almost suction to the lips, making them incredibly uncomfortable to wear throughout the day, I experienced nothing of the sort with this lipstick. No matter how much I layered on, the product felt like nothing on my lips and they never looked dry. As if I needed any more convincing that these lipsticks will be my new go-to, I looked in the mirror after eating a pasta dinner to find the color still looking near-perfect.” — Alyssa Kaplan, former assistant beauty editor, Makeup.com
