The drop of Fenty Beauty's Mattemoiselle Lipstick line has had a lot of speculation and buzz surrounding it. About a week before it launched, Rihanna took to Instagram and began leaking photos of her wearing mystery lip colors in the most tantalizing, beautiful shades. From sharing a paparazzi snap of her wearing rock-candy-pink lipstick, to her at an event rocking a navy blue lip, to a close up shot of her in a lilac lip color (with her lips tagged with Fenty Beauty's account), fans were going wild trying to guess what it could all mean. And when the answer was that the singer-turned-beauty-mogul-turned-our-lord-and-savior has gifted us with a whopping 14 new lipstick shades, we were all besides ourselves.
Mattemoiselle is a matte lipstick line that not only gives beauty lovers a chance to pick up their favorite nude and pink shades, but a spectrum that also includes playful colors like forest green, lilac, and chocolate brown. And as you can imagine, choosing just one can be a hard decision to make. Do you go the sensible route and try out all the different shades of nudes and browns? Or do you give yourself room to play and instead veer towards the more off-beat hues, like navy and purple?
And all those questions leads us to our next question: Can you can buy Rihanna's Mattemoiselle lipsticks as a set? After all, it's just too hard to choose.
Many beauty brands are offering set deals for their products, letting you bundle your favorite products together for a small discount. I mean, who wants to own just one Mattemoiselle lipstick?
Unfortunately, it turns out that as of right now, there are no sets like that available for Rihanna's new line. There aren't any bundles that mix and match some of the wilder colors with the more tame. What you can do, though, is treat yourself and make your own bundle. Just buy three or more colors you're obsessed with, and you'll get them in the mail in bulk. Tempting, isn't it?
To tempt you further, below is some of Fenty Beauty's most exciting Mattemoiselle shades, modeled by Rihanna herself. Prepare to drool.
1Clap Back
Here is an up-close swatch of what is now the infamous navy color that first hinted of a lipstick line on Instagram. As you can see, it's a dark blue shade but with purple and black undertones, making it a little different from the rest of the blue lipsticks on the market.
2One Of The Boyz
A bright and airy lilac, you have to love that Fenty Beauty is releasing traditional spring colors during the dead of winter. It just shows how the brand is reinventing the beauty game and its rules, and is giving us so many more options to work with. Plum and oxblood lipsticks are great and all, but sometimes an outfit calls for a bright lip.
3Spanked
A dusty coral, "Spanked" is a warm pink shade that will translate beautifully on all skin tones.
4Candy Venom
Looking for a pink lipstick with some kick to it? Candy Venom is here to deliver. A deep pink shade that mimics rock candy you would find in a candy store, it gives off the effect that you've been eating a lollipop for the last hour. It's a playful color with a lot of personality.
5Freckle Fiesta
A burnt sienna color, Freckle Fiesta is the perfect mix of red, brown, and orange. It gives you that '90s vibe of brown lipstick, but is also wonderfully warm and adds some understated color to the face.
6Midnight Wasabi
Have you been wanting to try out a forest green lipstick? Midnight Wasabi could be the perfect foray into that color palette. The green color is creative and unexpected, but since it's on the darker side, it also looks like it could easily blend with other makeup and accent an outfit. It's definitely a show stopper shade — but it won't drown out the rest of your look.
While you can't buy official Mattemoiselle sets, it will definitely be easy to buy more than just one of these lipsticks come Dec. 26. Just make sure to get your wallets ready in time.
