Pat McGrath LiquiLUST: Legendary Wear Matte Lipstick

Dame Pat McGrath is known as the mother of makeup for her legendary skills — and legendary beauty offerings. And her matte LiquiLust is all about luxury with its velvety smooth finish that is both smudge and transfer-proof. It’s also formulated with a proprietary stretch effect to avoid cracks in the lips and wears for up to 12 hours. It comes in nine shades, ranging from deep nudes and berries to bold reds.
