2018 Is All About Soft, Sheer, Matte Lips

Here's how to rock the blotted lip look
Remember the early days of Glossier? This was one of the brand's first color cosmetics products — and what a win it was (and is). It's lightweight like a balm and has a lovely, low-key, semi-matte finish that's oh-so-natural (officially making it the best of both worlds).

Peripera Ink Velvet Lip Tint, $13.49
This lip tint is quite unique: Though packed with pigment, it's easy to sheer out to your desired level of drama. And once it's dried and set, it feels like nothing on your lips — and leaves a long-lasting stain all day long.

Though these have a less matte finish than some of the other lipsticks in this list, they're still perfect for achieving that same lived-in, blotted look. Plus, it's very comfortable and so easy to wear, which makes it a great pick for lower maintenance looks where you still want to add a bit of panache.

ColourPop may be most famous for its ultra-dramatic matte shades but don't sleep on this lower-key option: These lippies offer buildable, sheer-to-medium coverage that's just right — and the lightweight formula also happens to be pretty darn transfer-proof to boot.
