    The ladies of Hollywood love a bright, bold matte lip. So too do the trend-setting ladies in the 'real world'. And we don't blame them. Not one little bit. There's just something striking about a colourful pout that's sans the shine...

    But how do you adopt this fun make-up trend if you don't actually own a matte lipstick? You don't need to go out and buy one, that's for sure. I've got a trick that'll see you turning your trusty ol' favourite satin or shine finish lipstick into a matte one – and all you need is a similar coloured blush.

    So, watch on above to learn this nifty make-up trick, and enjoy the attention that's sure to follow when you're rocking a sexy, colourful matte lip.

    We used the following products to create this look...
    Australis Lip Pencil in Nudie Rudie
    SunSense Lip Balm SPF 50+
    Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butter in Sweet Tart
    ck one color Cream + Powder Blush Duo in Fun

    Do you like the look of a matte lip? Will you be making use of this nifty make-up trick? Or do you already own a few matte lipsticks?

    Looks great on Miley, but I need a fresher, glossier look on my lips.

    I didn't even know you could get a blush that red! A good idea though.

    ...or you could just buy the australis mattifying lip base

    I like to switch it up between lippies, but usually rock a gloss finish because usually they offer better moisturisation

    manveen 5 Jul 2013 8:11 AM

    i love matte lipsetick. great video

    Kassalee 5 Jul 2013 7:40 AM

    That's a make up tip I'll definitely be trying - and a great way to use blusher too!

    maggieball 5 Jul 2013 5:50 AM

    Wow - looks so easy and I have so many blushes. I'm going to try it.

    jewl 5 Jul 2013 5:36 AM

    Matte lippies are so in!!

    Karen440 5 Jul 2013 4:44 AM

    What a neat idea; why didn't I think of this myself? I wear matte lipstick all the time now, as my over-49 lips are wrinkled and make satin, moisture-laden lippies 'feather' and bleed all over. And there's NO room for that with streetwalker red lipstick, believe me. Never smoked a day in my life but my lip crinkles make you think I might've.
    I wish I could wear a beautiful shiny, glossed-to-the-max lip colour, but those days are gone. Is there a (sticky, 'Kissing Potion'-type) gloss out there which is guaranteed to stay put and not feather? Clear/colourless is the only one I feel safe with, although Mary Kay has some good ones which I wear in pale colours. Can't wait to get some blush powders now and start experimenting! Thanks BH!
