Matte Black Lipstick Recommendations?

[Venusinfleurs]

I’m looking for a good matte black lipstick. I usually buy MAC lipsticks but they don’t seem to have a black on their website. Any recommendations?

@Venusinfleurs  Are you looking for a liquid matte, or a matte bullet? Or would either formula work for you? 

Most of my black lipsticks are cream/satin finish. But I do love Black Moon Liquid to Matte in shade Sleepwalker. Ulta might carry it, or you can buy it direct from Black Moon Cosmetics. You can also try Danessa Myricks Colorfix 24 Hr Cream Color, which comes in various shades, including black. Her Cream Color is a liquid pigment you can use however you want. I have 2 shades, including Galaxy which is a black matte with a bit of silver shimmer, but I haven’t put it to a true test yet. Beautylish sells Danessa Myricks, or you can order direct from the brand. 

Have you ever tried NARS - Powermatte Lip Pigment in shade Paint It Black? It’s not jet black like Sleepwalker, but I love the Powermatte formula: comfy to wear and long lasting. 

The black matte bullet I wear most often is Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Mattemoiselle Plush Matte Lipstick F'N Black which is more blue toned than my black cream/satin bullets. Oh, and there’s NYX Suede Matte Lipstick in shade Alien, which I still haven’t given a full day wear-test (I keep forgetting to test it). 

Here’s one of my older swatch photos where you can see how Fenty F’N Black compares to other black bullet lipsticks: 

Squid Ink is a blue so dark, it’s almost black.
