When the beauty superstar Kylie Jenner launched her Kylie Glosses, I wondered for a hot sec if her latest product would sound the death knell for the matte lip trend, which she helped popularize. I was glad that super shiny lips were making a comeback, but I didn't want to kiss matte goodbye for good. Katy Perry x COVERGIRL Katy Kat Matte lipsticks are further evidence that the matte texture will continue to reign supreme in 2016, even if it has to share some retail space, be it in stores or online, with the resurgent glossy texture. Kylie Lip Kits remain coveted. Too Faced's Melted Mattes are selling out and beloved. Now, Perry has created her own makeup collection for the drugstore brand of which she has been the face for years and she's launching it with 11 matte lipsticks. The lippies are not in stores until May, but you can pre-order them now. Where are they Katy Kat Mattes available for pre-order?
To sign up for the Katy Kat Mattes pre-order, head over to the Walmart site from now through May 1 (or while supplies last). There are 11 shades available for pre-order as of press time. The matte lippies, which come in stick form, as opposed to a liquid-in-a-tube iteration like many other matte lipsticks, cost $6.94 and they ship on May 15.
The colors and the packaging for the KKMs are adorbs.
How can you choose just one shade? Honestly, since the Katy Kat Mattes are priced so affordably at under seven bucks, you can totally stock up and engage in plenty of summer lip color fun.
So, yeah, if you had any concerns or doubts about the future of the matte lip trend, rest easy, makeup mavens. Matte lips are not going anywhere and will remain a dominant trend. The best thing about the Katy Perry x COVERGIRL matte lipsticks is that they are going to be available on the mass level.
The collection is loaded with trendy shades x trendy names with a kitschy cat influence.
It's a range of cool lipstick colors that'll definitely make you meow.
You just have to act fast, since they are limited edition and you have to jump through a few hoops to pre-order. They may sell out, too. So don't delay. Pick your fave shade and pre-order it while you still can.
