Love or hate it matte lipsticks are back for Fall 2015 and I’ve compiled a list of the best matte lipsticks for Fall 2015 that I think are utterly wearable, easy to apply, and easy to wear without drying your lips out.

I remember when I started my blog nearly 8 years ago and matte lipsticks were all the rage. Unfortunately, at that time I didn’t feel like the formula of any of these matte lipstick formulas on the market weren’t completely draining the moisture from my lips. For serious, wearing matte lipstick was a lot like that scene in Tank Girl where Kesslee stabs a water bottle into a dude’s back and proceeds to extra all the water from his body.

Needless to say matte lipsticks weren’t a pleasant experience. But mattes have evolved so much since 2007 with formulas that are creamier, longer wearing, and not nearly as moisture draining as they once were.

As we head into Fall 2015, matte lipsticks are going to become more and more popular with a possibility of the trend following into the Holiday season so here’s a list of the best matte lipsticks for Fall 2015 that are both new and older formulas I’ve used, loved, and didn’t have an issue with them draining the life moisture from my lips.

Too Cool for School is now sold at Sephora.com! Well, not the entire line but this popular Korean brand does have some potted lip balms available and hopefully Sephora will bring more Too Cool for School makeup products in stock soon!

Lately, Sephora has been dominating the Korean makeup scene and offering up many K-beauty brands like Tony Moly, Dr Jart, and many more! Plus they seem to be embracing many Korean brands like facial masks lately too.

I’m quite intrigued by all the K-Beauty trending at the moment and I have a feeling that we’ll see even more come Fall 2015.

This is very exciting for me as I’ve been blogging Asian makeup and skincare since 2007 and finally to see it come full circle and more readily available in the US makes me quite happy.

I look forward to seeing the trend continue!

You can shop Too Cool for School now at Sephora.com.
