This year I became totally obsessed with matte lipsticks, running through the entire NYX counter and scooping almost 20 different shades in just one month. I’ve always been a lipstick girl and matte shades are my favourite as I have oily skin and my face is always shiny. As a result, I like a non-shiny lip to contrast and bonus points go to any brand that craft a matte lipstick in liquid form.

NYX have a huge selection of colours, enough to compliment all skin tones. My go to shade is Cannes, a fairly natural shade that doesn’t look impressive in the bottle but when worn, it looks amazing! I’m also a big fan of London and the pastel pink Tokyo. The fact all their shades are named after cities, adds to the allure of NYX’s liquid lip colours.

Another favourite product is MAC’s Retro Matte Liquid LipColour, I first tried this out while getting a make up lesson with Dominic Skinner at MAC. It stays on for a really long time, I’ve even woken up after a night out and it’s still on my lips, with none left on my pillow. My number one shade is LADYBEGOOD, which is a similar colour to NYX’s Cannes lip colour. There are amazing shades of red, pink and plum available too at maccosmetics.co.uk
