Clinique has announced the launch of Long Last Lipsticks Soft Matte. Three years in the making, the collection features eight matte shades including Magenta, Crimson, Mandarin, Beauty, Peony, Suede, Petal and Plum. This matte yet moist, comfortable, non-drying and stain-free formula contains Porous Silica beads and Porous Silica to set the colour, while the lipstick pigments are ground in Cetyl Octanoate, an ingredient that develops colour to its true intensity. Long-lasting moisturisation comes from a beeswax derivative, while a special polymer, originally developed for surgical use, helps protect lips from moisture loss.
