I’m going to buck the MAC trend of Ruby Woo and Russian Red (great colors, tho) in favor of their Dubonnet. It looks really brick-y, but is so, so lovely on. I layer it with the previously mentioned Nars matte stick in Cruella/Dragon Girl (I have both, forget which.. one of them matches perfectly; the other brightens

Since I don’t see any k-beauty on here, here’s one of my favorites: Peripera Peri Ink in No Spoiler. It’s really bright, opaque and matte and does not transfer. Also, cute bottle and super cheap.
