We have to admit, having to wear masks all the time makes us feel like omitting lipstick. But somehow, every time we take off our masks to smile for pictures, we can’t help but wish we had some lipstick on. Well, if you feel like that too, then it’s time to stop limiting yourself. This year, Anastasia Beverly Hills wants you to express yourself despite having to wear face masks. And they’re starting out right with some new lip liners and matte & satin lipsticks! These are set to launch in late January 2022. But fret not as Beauty Insider is here to give you all the inside scoop, and which shades we love most!

Matte & Satin Lipsticks

If you’re in the know, you’re in the know. In a single swipe, Anastasia Beverly Hills’ Matte & Satin Lipsticks are all you want. Glide it on smoothly with a pro-level control thanks to the bullet tip shape, which is brilliantly pigmented and easy to wear. When you encounter the luxurious, velvety-soft featherlight finishes – offering looks from day to night – this game-changing formula is addictive by design. Change your look from natural to glam in the blink of an eye! You can expect these magnificent colours to last and be ready to impress once the mask is removed, thanks to their high colour payoff. In addition, it comes in 18 universally pleasing colours that suit all skin tones.

How To Use:

  • Start by tracing the Cupid’s Bow. 
  • Fill in the top lip with the rest of the colour. 
  • Draw a line around the bottom lip and fill it in. 
  • For a sculpted and defined effect, use Lip Liner. 
  • If your lips are dry, use a lip primer before applying lipstick.

Here’s What We Think

Our favourite Matte Lipstick shade: Royal Red

Why we love it: First of all, the lipstick glides like butter and one swipe is all you need! Aside from that, it isn’t drying, no matter how long you’ve had it on. Plus, this red is so beautiful, we just couldn’t stop staring at it. It’s the red you see at Christmas, and the red you’ll definitely want for the upcoming Lunar New Year.

Our favourite Satin Lipstick shades: Soft Brown & Dusty Rose

Why we love it: Truthfully, if we could pick the entire collection of shades as our favourites, we would. But we have to say that Soft Brown and Dusty Rose stood out the most for us! Soft Brown was our favourite nude shade that beautifully complemented our simple makeup look. In fact, you can even wear it with no other makeup. It’s a must-have shade for sure!

On the other hand, Dusty Rose is the perfect pink mauve hue that we believe every girl should own. Whether you’re dressing up or dressing down, we guarantee Dusty Rose adds the most gorgeous rosy tone to your lips. As for the satin formula, we love the sheen it gives – that you won’t need a gloss! Furthermore, it’s incredibly hydrating which is a definite plus point for our dry lips. 

Anastasia Beverly Hills New Lip Liners

Introducing Anastasia Beverly Hills Lip Liners, your newest love and the reason why Y2K beauty trends are back and here to stay. Define the perfect lip with ABH lip liner, which provides accurate shaping and contouring. It has a velvety, creamy matte finish (but never shiny & slippery). The distinctive square-shaped form of the lip liner allows you to sharpen your liners to a tiny point for exceptional precision. Wear it alone or with the Matte & Satin Lipsticks to complete the look. With 18 colours to pick from, you’ll be able to create an endless number of combinations!

How To Use:

  • Before applying lipstick, line and sculpt the lips to achieve the desired shape. 
  • For a fuller-looking result, use a hue that is somewhat darker than your lipstick. 
  • Use a tint that is close to your lipstick shade for a natural look.
  • Pick 2-3 shades darker than your lipstick for a contoured look.
  • To make a base for your lipstick, fill in the entire lip. For an ombré appearance, apply in the centre of the lip and smooth out with a brush.

It’s without a doubt that this has become our new holy grail! From the formula to the actual pencil, we’re truly blown away. We love that the Anastasia Beverly Hills Lip Liners are in pencil form and not mechanical to enhance precision. This is because mechanical lip liners typically become dome-shaped after a while, which can be difficult to use when focusing on the cupids bow.

Another feature that we absolutely love is the square-shaped pencil that’s designed to stay put on your table and not roll around. Moreover, the formula of the lip liner is so creamy that it glides on like a dream! But the best part is that it has a matte finish, which combines beautifully with the matte & satin lipsticks. Lastly, the shades available are super fun to mix and match with all of the matte & satin lipstick shades. 

The Matte & Satin Lipsticks (RM105) and Lip Liners (RM90) will be launching on 25th January 2022 at Sephora’s Website and 10th February in-stores.
