I’ll start this by saying that the Milani Color Statement Moisture Matte lipsticks are some of my most favorite lipsticks ever. They have such a gorgeous color range, I’m obsessed with the gold lipstick tube, they’re easy to apply and they are so affordable. Definitely worthy of being a favorite! I have four colors to share with you and there are a total of eight available. I plan to add some more to my collection soon!
The four shades I have are Glam Matte (a cool toned purple), Matte Diva (a bright, cool toned pink), Matte Innocence (a pinky nude) and Matte Confident (a bold, almost brick red). These are probably colors I never would have chose for myself, and with the exception of Matte Innocence (my skin tone really doesn’t suit such light shades), I really love these colors on me.
For a matte lipstick, they are surprisingly non-drying. Though they are formulated with grape seed extract, I wouldn’t call them moisturizing either- they are kind of somewhere in the middle and as far as matte lipsticks go, I’m okay with that. They wear quite well, too. I had Matte Diva on for a couple hours while I was doing some other product swatches and photos (and I was sipping on my water during that time) and it stayed on my lips surprisingly well.
As for scent, they have a very light cupcake-y scent that doesn’t linger after application. The packaging obviously gets two thumbs up from me, because gold, haha. And the very best part? These retail for $5.99, so you’re not breaking the bank to try a few new shades of lipstick.
Which of these shades is your fave?

Love all of these shades, but the glame matte is way too gorgeous. So different and such a fun pop of color!

Cindy ingalls says
I really like that these matte lipsticks aren’t too drying. Plus the color payoff looks amazing.
Zoë says
I love Matte Diva on you! I am a huge fan of Jordana so I’m sure that I’d love these Milani lipsticks too. I just got a few of the original line :)
Mai says
I think Matte Diva is beautiful!
Sammi the Beauty Buff says
I think Matte Innocence is my fave! I would say Diva, but I think it’s too cool-toned for my complexion. I’m also a fan of the red one!
Brooke elise says
matte confident is gorgeous. i always hear so many things about these lipsticks, i really can’t believe i haven’t picked up any yet, the formula always seems so nice!

Now where did I put all of mine? They are so pretty
Rachel says
I hear great things about Milani products, so I should pick some up next time I’m at CVS

Matte Innocence looks way better on your lips than it did on mine. I had issues getting it to apply evenly.
MarciaF says
These sound promising with the word Moisturizing in the name. I’d try Innocence since I like to have a light color during the day.

Ohh! Innocence is definitely on top of the list for me ;-) All four colours look amazing on you ;-) Wish I could pull off a purple like you do!
Brooke @ Blushing Noir says
One of my fave drugstore lippies! Confident is a MUST!
Anastasia says
Matte Confident looks amazing with your skin tone! I agree, Milani lipsticks have probably the best drugstore lippie formula.
Lisa Heath says
Glam and Diva are 2 of my favs from Milani!
Kath TheFabZilla says
I love mattes. I love purples. I therefore conclude I need those purple mattes.
Nidia - Lit From Within says
Milani rocked this collection, though I thought it was a little heavy on the pinks. Matte Confident is one I picked up. I have way too many (and also not enough) red lippies.
Leelo R says
These look lovely!
Lamesha says
Is matte glam a dupe for Max’s heroine? My fave is matte innocence.
Laura MyNewestAddiction says
YASSS A few of my favorites for sure!
