Perfect Matte Nudes

I love the nude shades by the Balm. Not so much any other color - they do get very dry and wear off, but the Nudes are perfect. They last a good while so I feel like I get my money's worth.

I'm committed

I'm not much of a makeup person. In fact, it's not unfair to say I'm a no-makeup person. The last time I bought makeup, it was for my daughter's dance recital, and it definitely wasn't for me.

Occasionally, life will put me in the sort of situation that demands I put some kind of effort into my face. When that happens, in a rather embarrassing cognitive quirk, I find myself spooked if my face looks too different from the unvarnished one I see every day. Apparently my brain can look at green hair in the mirror and think "yes, this makes sense," but will start screaming in incoherent terror when confronting a red lip.

All of this is my long-winded way of saying that Meet Matt(e) Hughes Committed is, in my mind, the perfect lipstick. It has descended from Hyperuranion to be the Platonic ideal for lipstick here on Earth. It is long-lasting, pleasantly vanilla-mint scented, and offers me a pinky-neutral that both makes it clear I've Made An Effort™ and doesn't short circuit any important areas of my brain. The packaging is cute, the applicator does the job, and theBalm is a cruelty-free company.

I would marry this lipstick if I could. The least you can do is give it a try.

TheBalm is the Bomb!

I ordered the Meet Matte Hughes lip stick from TheBalm.com and love it! The shade was SO true to all the pictures on their IG. Which is always great! The only thing I didn't care for was the fact I had a hard time getting the lip brush to collect the lipstick evenly, therefore I had to go over it a few extra times in a few spots. Then again I'm a newb SO that could have been it too lol. Sign up for their emails and you'll get good coupons ;)

This is a long lasting matte liquid lipstick. It applies smoothly without streaks, smells wonderful (like chocolate mint), tingles just slightly, stays on really well, does not transfer and wears away beautifully (no weird inner lip ring).

This has become my new number 1 favorite matte liquid lipstick. I will be buying more (probably all of them...lol)!

They cost a very reasonable price of $17. I would recommend to all matte liquid lipstick lovers!

I bought this in the shade "Committed" and while it looks a lot more pink in the bottle, it goes on very nude when applied to the lips. I found the formula to be extremely drying and the product sank into the dry cracks of my lips so if you have very very dry lips (winter woes!), then I would highly recommend prepping your lips first before using this very matte liquid lipstick. I will still purchase this liquid lipstick but am going to try another colour. I would recommend swatching these if the store has samples for you to try as the colours that you see on the tube and what you see on your lips could be very different!

Well I recieved this liquid lipstick in one of my Ipsy Glam Bags and i fell in love with it! Its my most favorite lipstick yet for a few reasons. It applys really smoothy on your lips, it lasts a long time almost like a lip stain so no need to reapply often, has a pleasant smell to it, comes in some really flattering shades. I recieved it in the shade "commited" and I wear it all the time.
I recommend this liquid lipstick forsure! :)

I am new to trying out lipsticks. I received a sample of the in a monthly beauty bag. I love the product, it's long lasting and smells amazing!

This was the first liquid lipstick I have ever tried and I have to say I was very impressed. It is a nice matte lipstick and it last for a long time. I have the colour in committed.

I had never heard of liquid lipstick before I received this in my ipsy bag. I love it! The colour goes on smooth and dries matte, and has great staying power. The applicator is a perfect tool. It's a little on the expensive side, but a great splurge item. And the chocolate minty scent was a very welcome surprise!

I like the color. But I don't like the strange sweet vanilla mint flavor. I also found it got kind of cakey looking quite soon after application, not what I expected and not an issue I've ever had with outer matte colors. It does however have great staying power. If they'd make it a bit less 'scented' and somehow make it not get cakey, I'd love it. But until then, I won't be repurchasing.
