No7's Pro Artist range sits at the more "make-up bag staple" end of Boots' own-brand line-up, competing with mid-range matte lipsticks from the likes of Maybelline and L'Oréal. This Limited Edition Matte Muse Lipstick in Berry Couture comes as a set of three full-size 3.3g bullets, aimed at anyone who wants a classic, opaque berry tone without the shine.
Who will get on with a matte berry lipstick?
If you like a more polished finish, matte formulas tend to photograph well and won't reflect light like a gloss. Berry shades are also forgiving: they read bold without being as high-contrast as a true red, and they can work day-to-night with minimal effort. Matte can feel drier than satin, so it's worth pairing with a balm underneath if you're prone to lip lines.
- 3 x 3.3g lipsticks, enough product for regular wear, plus spares for handbag and desk.
- Limited Edition shade, useful if you already know Berry Couture suits you and want backups.
