I don’t know about you, but I’ve been all about matte lipsticks ever since Lime Crime came out with their Velvetines. Unfortunately, as I wrote in another post of mine, Lime Crime has done some very shady business that I would rather not deal with, so I’ve been looking high and low for good quality, vegan matte lipsticks that are not only just as good as Lime Crime, but possibly better, and more affordable.
Here’s what I found in my search. I hope you like them as much as I do!
1. BLACK MOON COSMETICS
Black Moon doesn’t officially launch until September 27th, but I’m already incredibly excited. In addition to having stunning colors, they are also paraben free and gluten free. To see their beautiful packaging, and to see people wearing their colors, check out their instagram!
The price for these isn’t up yet, but I can’t imagine them being any more than $17 or $18.
2. MAKEUP MONSTERS COSMETICS
This brand is absolutely adorable. Their mascot is a little monster girl donning a wicked cute style. Makeup Monsters is not only great in their Monster High-esque aestheitc, but in their color selection as well. They have greens, blues, pinks, purples- pretty much anything a “makeup monster” could ever want!
To make things even better, these awesome matte colors are only $15.95! Is that a deal, or what?
3. COLOURED RAINE
Coloured Raine may not have blues or greens, but what it does have are striking reds, purples, browns, and a gorgeous black called 2AM.

These gorgeous colors go for $16.50.
4. DOSE OF COLORS
I love their logo, but I feel it to be a tad misleading. When thinking of a dose of colors, it makes me think of all colors under the sun- or at least, a lot of them. For their mattes, Dose of Colors mainly has reds, pinks, and purples. Pretty standard colors. If you’re more into traditional lipstick colors, Dose of Colors is definitely up your alley.
These mattes go for $18.
5. JEFFREE STAR COSMETICS

I was trying really hard to avoid really big name brands, but I couldn’t help myself with this one. If you don’t know about Jeffree Star Cosmetics, then start getting to know him for this freaking fabulous vegan makeup line. His color choices are gorgeous, ranging from light blues to dark, vampy purples, to black (because everyone needs black!). While there aren’t as many choices as Makeup Monsters, this one is definitely worth checking out. Seriously though, that light blue color is divine.

These fabulous lippies go for $18.
6. NECROMANCY COSMETICA
Three words: Oh.My.Goth.
I freaking love this brand. An indie cosmetics line with matte lipsticks, this brand stems all the way from Puerto Rico! Perfect for my fellow vegan goths, Necromancy Cosmetica is host to gorgeous, witchy colors- with four new ones coming out soon!
Each one of these beauties is $16.
I hope you enjoyed this list! I’m always on the lookout for more vegan matte lipsticks to share, so if you know of any, do let me know!
