Its upgraded vegan-friendly formula delivers intense color with a single swipe, ensuring an ultra-comfortable, non-drying wear for up to 8 hours.

The Huda Beauty Liquid Matte Lipstick excels in delivering on its promises in everyday scenarios. For best results, ensure your lips are clean, exfoliated, and lightly moisturized before application. The one-swipe application feature truly simplifies the process, providing full, vibrant Red color saturation instantly.
Once applied, the velvety formula glides on smoothly, and its weightless feel is immediately noticeable. It quickly sets to its signature buttery, suede-matte finish. The critical step for achieving transfer-proof, smudge-proof, and mask-proof performance is allowing it a few moments to fully dry down. Once dry, you can confidently wear it through meals, drinks, and daily activities without worrying about unsightly marks or fading.
Its non-drying formula infused with moisturizing ingredients is a significant advantage, particularly for a matte lipstick, meaning your lips will feel comfortable and supple for the duration of the 8-hour wear, avoiding the tight or cracked sensation common with other liquid mattes. This makes it an ideal choice for long days, special events, or any situation where reapplication isn't convenient.
For example, wearing it during a long workday or a night out, you'll find the color remains vibrant and the finish intact, requiring minimal, if any, touch-ups. Its flake-proof and streak-proof properties ensure a consistently polished look, even as the hours pass.
Prep Your Lips: For the smoothest application and best wear, ensure your lips are clean, dry, and free of any dead skin. Gently exfoliate if needed.
Moisturize (Lightly): Apply a thin layer of a non-oily lip balm. Allow it to absorb fully or blot off any excess before applying the liquid matte lipstick. This helps keep lips supple without compromising the matte finish.
One-Swipe Application: Using the applicator, start from the center of your upper lip and follow the contours of your mouth. Glide across the bottom lip.
Allow to Dry: For optimal transfer-proof performance, allow the lipstick to fully dry for 30-60 seconds without pressing your lips together.
Lip Liners: This lipstick pairs well with a matching or slightly darker lip liner to define the lip shape and prevent feathering.
Other Lip Products: For best long-wear results, avoid layering with glossy or oily lip products over the top, as this can break down the matte finish and compromise its transfer-proof properties. If you desire a different finish, apply the liquid matte first, allow it to dry, then sparingly dab a non-oil-based gloss onto the center of the lips for dimension.
Storage: Store the lipstick upright, in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures to maintain its consistency and longevity.
Cap Securely: Always ensure the cap is tightly sealed after each use to prevent the product from drying out and to protect the applicator.
Removal: To remove, use an oil-based makeup remover or micellar water. Apply to a cotton pad, press gently onto lips for a few seconds, then wipe away. Avoid harsh rubbing to prevent lip irritation.
