Save, Spend, Splurge: 3 lust-worthy matte brown liquid lipsticks
If you are a fan of the Kylie Jenner matte, brown lip look, prepare to add to your lipstick collection. We have three beauties for you for every budget
Kylie's lips have shot to fame in the last few years; she is best known for a plump, matte, brown pout. The shade she uses really suits her, but you have to remember she has an olive complexion, dark eyes and dark hair. This can look completely different on a fair-skinned person with, say, blond hair. Everyone can wear a brown lip, but you have to find the shade of brown to suit you.
If you have pink tones in your skin, pick a brown with a pinky undertone. If you have auburn hair, a brown with a reddish undertone could complement your colouring. Cookie Dough from the Penneys PS... lip kits might be your colour. If you love a dramatic lip against your porcelain skin, you could try out the darker shades of brown.
If the matte brown trend is something you haven't tried, it might be an idea to start with a cheap version to test it out. This look is not for all tastes. It's quite dramatic; the matte finish makes it a real statement lip. If you are not used to it, you will be out of your comfort zone. Give it a few hours, though, it takes time to get used to a new feature on the face you know so well. Take lots of pictures before you decide if you love it or hate it.
