NYX's Smushy matte lip balm has been making the rounds on TikTok, and the the now viral product proves one thing: Matte lip balm is the latest makeup trend on everyone's lips.
Matte lip balms are the secret to creating a blurred lip look, which features diffused, feathered edges rather than sharp, defined lines.
Blurred lips have been popular in the K-beauty space for quite some time. And matte lip balms are the secret to creating the trendy undone look by providing an effortless just-bitten wash of color. Matte lip balms give more an "I woke up like this" vibe and less "I spent hours on glam."
They're similar to a tinted lip balm, only with a soft matte finish instead of a high-shine glossy one. These fuss-free formulas deliver sheer to full coverage color without the stickiness of a gloss. But since they're made with hydrating ingredients like vitamin E and hyaluronic acid, you're lips are left moisturized just like with a balm.
From punchy hues to nude shades, achieve blurred lips with these matte lip balms, starting at $5.
