Just when I thought I already found my new HG matte lipsticks, I received the new Modern Matte line of lipsticks from Jordana. I’ve become obsessed with them.
Here’s what Jordana has to say about their new matte lipsticks:
- Modern Matte Lipsticks are a Winning Combination of High Payoff Pigments and Special Ingredients that Comfortably Extend the Wear
- Expertly Selected Shades Have an All-Day Wear Without the Typical ‘Dry Lip’ Finish that Feathers and Cracks
- Talc and Paraben-Free
- Made In USA
They’re not kidding about the “high payoff pigments”. All 12 shades are just incredible! From MLBB neutrals to purples to orange to red, this lineup has it all.
So far, Jordana Modern Matte Lipsticks are the least drying matte lipsticks I have ever worn. My lips are often dry and sensitive, but I have no problem at all wearing these pretties. They are not hydrating but they don’t leave my lips looking and feeling parched like so many others do.
Check out the swatches of these beauties:
01 Bare: Deep pink nude; 02 Blush: Nude; 03 Frappuccino: Rich bBrown nude
04 Tease: Rosy pink; 05 Classy: Mauve (marsala!) 06 Adorable: Bubblegum pink
07 Popular: Bright pink 08 It Girl: Fuchsia; 09 Dare: Deep berry purple
10 Pretty: Terracotta 11 Caliente: Hot red/orange 12 Style: True red
I have so many favorites! But here’s how 06 Adorable looks on my lips in natural daylight. Pretty adorable, don’t you think?
Here’s 12 Style, a rich real red, in indoor light at night. I love that red!
I would definitely run out and buy a bunch of these stunning lippies, if I were you. At $2.49 each for 0.11 oz., you can pick up a nice variety of shades for the price of one prestige lipstick. Jordana is sold on the Jordana website as well as at Walgreens.

That red is the bomb on you. 🙂
Thanks, Laura! I really love these lippies. Did the nude one work for you?
LOVE these. Definitely my new favorites.

I agree, Destany, mine too 🙂
I’m testing out mine now. I can’t wait to see how I like them!
Eager to read your review soon, Ashley!
WOW! Those are some great colors and the two you showed us looks fabulous on you! I’m really digging 06 on you. 🙂
I don’t usually wear that shade, but well you never know! Change is good
Wow, what an awesome range of colors! I think I would like a lot of those. I was going to make a CVS run, but now I think I’ll have to stop by Walgreens too…cant beat that price. Adorable looks like such a fin shade, totally reminds me of spring!
Kristina Vieweg recently posted…New! Too Faced Lip Insurance Glossy Primer
You should take a look at them, Kristina. The colors and the price are both fabulous!
These look lovely and that pink is perfect for spring! I’ve always had bad luck with matte products and being too dry but these sound nice and at that price I’m not out that much if I don’t like them!
Same here, Jen. My poor NARS Matte Velvet red lip crayon sits unused most of the time. But these mattes from Jordana are different. They don’t dry out my dry lips and the shades are just so darn gorgeous!
Try as I may, I just cannot get on board the matte bandwagon. They look so nice on others – can we stop to say how great they look on you?!? – but pour moi, the effect is just….blah. Not my thing, I guess. 😛
Still, at $2.49 I may find myself giving it yet another go, hahaha
I don’t think it’s mandatory, Rach! Truth be told, I like a satin finish best. But I must say, these shades are so gorgeous that I can’t resist them. Plus they’re not drying on me so they look better on my lips than other mattes. I bought a gorgeous red matte lip crayon from NARS but I don’t use it very often ‘coz it’s so drying.
The colors are absolutely gorgeous, and the fact that they are the least drying matte lipsticks that you have tried makes them well worth trying (especially at that price point). I don’t expect matte lipsticks to be moisturizing, but I definitely avoid wearing the ones that suck the moisture out of my lips! I want Adorable, and absolutely love it on you!

Thank you! I don’t usually wear this shade of pinky purple outside of full-on summer, but it is fun. The red ones and some of the nude shades are my favorites. These are even more wearable than the Milani mattes. They really don’t dry my lips, but sometimes I had City Lips Lip Plumper on top for added hydration and just lose the matte. I love the shades themselves so much!
Hehe I know it’s not mandatory, but when other people are having so much fun I wonder what it is that I must be missing. #sillymakeupproblems
I’ve often looked at the NARS display but never bought one of the crayons. Crayons are not my most preferred lip colour product (though I love them for eyes, go figure) and I was always worried about them being too drying for my lips. I’m pleased to see them as this year’s Sephora birthday gift though- I’ll finally be able to try them and not feel guilty if I still don’t like the formula.
Oh, I forgot that NARS is this year’s bday gift, yay! Unfortunately, the matte crayons are really drying. I wonder if NARS’ non-matte crayons are easier to wear? Hopefully so. But you’re right, free is good, no obligation!
Those shades look so pretty! I have never tried any Jordana products, but I really should try some of these lippies.

Unfortunately, they’re probably hard to find outside of the US except on Amazon. But these matte lippies are really wonderful and so affordable here
That pink one looks very good on you. I want to try!
Thanks, Eugenia! I don’t usually wear that shade outside of summer. It’s fun!
Oh, man, I need “Style”! “Pretty” looks nice, too! I’ve been really into matte lips lately so I’ll check these out, thanks!

Style, Pretty and also Caliente and Tease are my personal faves. But all the shades a gorgeous and so inexpensive!
That red looks amazing on you!
gio recently posted…Why You Should Use A Serum
Thanks, Gio, I seem to be wearing the red quite frequently!
I want to try those bright pinks! So pretty!
The bright pinks really stand out! So pretty and different from what I usually wear
Looks great! I haven’t been able to make the move to matte lipsticks but I need to venture!
Krystal E recently posted…KBShimmer Eyes White Shut
These would be a good first foray into matte, Krystal, because they are much more comfortable than most mattes, and they are so affordable too!
Very nice color range!
Cindy (Prime Beauty) recently posted…bareMinerals Modern Pop Makeup Collection: Review, Pics, Swatches!
I think so too. I have so many favorite shades 🙂
I’m loving so many of the colors but that’s ok because they’re so affordable!

I have at least 5 favorite shades so I know what you mean, Aleya! They are so dang pretty!
That red is your shade, lady.
I need to grab a couple of these and give them a test drive. My stupid lips are so sensitive and fussy… But these look as if they could be comfortable.
Erika recently posted…Lather Tinted Lip Balm Trio
Mine are too, Erika, though using City Lips with HA and collagen has helped this winter more than anything else I had tried in the past. The Jordana mattes are the most wearable of any mattes I’ve tried. If my lips are ultra dry, I put City Lips on top and lose the matte which is OK coz it’s the colors that I like the most rather than the finish. And thank you, I do love that red and the red/orange too!
Yes, I wore it tonight after I rinsed out my hair color. What’s so funny is when I read your review I was coveting the Blush shade the most followed by Classy. The formula is so nice. I cannot believe the price point for such a quality lipstick. I hope I can find these where I live. Thank you so much. I would never have tried these otherwise. We are down to one car so I am not able to get out much. I wonder if Ulta carries this brand?
P.S. Make sure you wear that red lippie because it looks like it was made for you.
I really loved all the lip shades. I loved how moisturizing they were. 🙂 You had great
taste. Do not know what happened there. A hiccup I guess. 😉
I’m glad you liked them and that Blush was one of the shade you wanted. I tried to send neutrals. Did you try the nude cheek stick yet? If so, did the color show up on your skin? Not knowing, I just guessed on that one. Jordana is sold at Walgreens. Some Walgreens have the whole product line and others just have a few products but I think most Walgreens will have this new matte line. They also sell on the Jordana website but then there’s the shipping that I try to avoid. I hope your hair came out well!!
Oh how I love these!! I love how there are so many mac dupes too 😉 always a good thing
Jessica recently posted…A Look at Opi’s DS Lapis
Ah, you’ll have to tell me which ones, Jessica. It’s so difficult to keep up with all the MAC lippie shades and collections that I gave up ages ago.
I just picked up Dare at Walgreens. It’s a beautiful deep berry. Even my mom liked it on me! It wears like iron, doesn’t transfer when I kiss my husband. It feels great on, but my lips are pretty dry afterwards, so balm is a must!
Nidia – Lit From Within recently posted…I May Not Have Prince Albert In A Can, but I Have A Miracle In A Jar with Athos Miracle Cream #athosmiraclecream
Wow, Dare is gorgeous! I’ll bet it looks great on you. I haven’t tried it yet since I am hesitant about berry and purple shades, but I will. I don’t find these mattes nearly as drying as other mattes, but they aren’t hydrating, and at this point, I need to add hydration to my lips. I don’t tend to wear them for hours on end which is one reason I didn’t give a wear time. If I am going to wear them for more than a few hours, I put City Lips Lip Plumper – my go-to HA & collagen lip hydrator – right on top of it. I love the shades in this collection more than I care about the matte finish…but that’s just me. Enjoy Dare and I hope you’ll use it in a look that you post on your blog!!
I’ve read/heard nice things about these matte lippies. You look fabulous in both shades!
Thank you, Kathryne 🙂
Mattes have been my favourites lately and these look incredible on you! Might have to snag a few of these- cant’ beat that price.
At this price and with this great color range, the Jordana mattes are a steal and worth a try especially if you love mattes!
I absolutely love how smooth these feel and they don’t bring out dry patches at all!
