MY 2 CENTS
I’m a big fan of the original Elizabeth Arden Beautiful Color Moisturizing Lipstick collection and now with these new matte shades, I’m an even bigger fan.

The Beautiful Color Matte Lipsticks are available in 8 shades. The one I’ve been using is ‘Raspberry’ (as seen above).
These lipsticks are so pigmented. One coat of Raspberry gets you a fully opaque coverage. They’re creamy but bleed without a lip liner, and they are so hydrating and long lasting!
In an 8hr day, I reapply once after eating. Some matte lippies are so drying and clump up on your lips after a little while but Elizabeth Arden’s Beautiful Color Moisturizing Matte Lipsticks don’t do that at all. My lips stay silky smooth all day!

The new Beautiful Color Matte Lipsticks are housed in a sleek gold package with Elizabeth Arden’s signature Red Door design.

Key ingredients:

• Satin-Texture Powders: form a flexible film for added comfort and wear
• Maxi Lip: provides lips with 60% more moisturization
• Moisture Enriched Pigments: help condition the lips for a rich, long lasting color
• Mango, Shea, and Murumuru Butters: help protect, condition, and sooth
• Argan Oil & Vitamin E: improves moisture retention and provides antioxidant protection

Elizabeth Arden Global Makeup Artist Rebeca Restrepo recommends “exfoliating the lips by gently brushing them with a toothbrush. Then, add a pea-sized dab of lip balm to seal in moisture. This removes any imperfections, leaving you with a flawless matte finish.”
