If you love matte lips, you must definitely try Huda. Once applied, it lasts all day and doesn't budge, even after eating oily foods, kissing, or wearing a mask. It minimizes lip flakiness, and among matte lipsticks, the affordable Korean drugstore options can't match the quality of Huda. Especially in these times when we have to wear masks constantly, I don't think I could survive without Huda's matte lipstick.

The signature dryness of the matte lipstick can be a bit strong. It's tricky to remove during cleansing, but surprisingly, there's no staining. The chocolate-like scent may be divisive and the nudey color range of Huda may not suit those who are more accustomed to the vibrant, bold K-beauty color palette.

I'd recommend applying it as a full-coverage lipstick. If you want to create a gradient lip look, it's best to apply a lip liner first, as the liquid formula doesn't blend well with the liner once it dries down.
