EB Advance Absolute Matte Lipstick is what my matte lipstick dreams are made of! I've always talked about having dry lips and how I'm no longer a fan of drying formulas. I don't like shine and gloss either so it isn't very easy for me to find lip products that I really like. This is why I am giving the EB Advance Absolute Matte Lipsticks my seal of approval.
EB Advance Absolute Matte Lipstick Review and ALL Swatches
What is the EB Advance Absolute Matte Lipstick from Ever Bilena?
Okay, the EB Advance Absolute Matte Lipstick is not very unique when it comes to the formula. It is buttery-smooth and pretty much got the same feel and pigmentation as my other favorite matte bullet lipsticks. The thing is, those I find comparable to this are priced at more than 5X more per piece so thinking about the pricing, this is truly more bang for buck!
A lot of blog followers on Instagram remarked that this lippie's packaging is very much inspired by the Fenty line from Rihanna. They don't feel the same (Rihanna's has more weight) and the formula is not the same, but if you're looking for comfortable matte bullet lipstick, then you can't go wrong with the absolute mattes line from EB Advance.
Each absolute matte lipstick retails for P185 each for a full-sized lipstick that comes in a box. Perfect for gifting! I've seen this in Watson's, Lazada, and from Ever Bilena direct sellers.
You get 3.8 grams of product per tube which is a lot considering that you only need to reapply once or twice for full-day wear because the pigment saturation is good.
I really appreciate the labeling and packaging. Each tube matches the color of the lippie inside so no need to read the shade name. I also like that the shade names and other important product information are printed on the sticker attached to the bottom of each lipstick tube. This way, It is fine even if you misplace the box after opening the lipstick.
EB Advance Absolute Matte Lipstick Swatches
The lipstick comes in 5 shades but perhaps they may expand the shades in the future just like what they did with EB Advance Lip Define Matte Matic, they've released 3 new shades for that line.
- Boss is a blue-based dark pink or red. It whitens the teeth and has a brightening effect when worn.
- Galore is described as a muted burgundy but I think it is too warm or brownish to be a real burgundy. Maybe it can be described as a warm brown-red instead.
- Habit is a warm nude. Only a few people will look great in this shade because it can wash you out but I think it is perfect for muting down other bright lipsticks.
- Perk is a bright coral. It has warm and cool tones depending on lighting and the wearer's skin tone. I think this is the most universal shade in this collection.
- Plush is described as a mauvey brown but perhaps it can also be described as a warm wine shade. Another one that I think will complement a lot of Filipina skintones.
- Siesta is marketed as a muted terracotta and I agree. It is the color of fallen leaves but with a hint of brightness. Very pretty!

This is the REAL PROOF that I love these lipsticks. I seldom publish selfies more so when I am very busy. I have an aversion to publishing my pa-cute face online, haha! Here are lip swatches of the EB Advance Absolute Matte Lipstick for the pale gals out there :) Lighting is afternoon natural light but indoors, with the light coming from the window.
I can't pick just one favorite! They are all so nice!
