I tried Rimmel London’s New Only 1 Matte Lipsticks; all 9 of them, so you don’t have to. Thanks to the lovely people at Rimmel London, these lipsticks landed at my doorstep last week. If you follow me on social media, you will know how busy these beauties have kept me.
I usually shy away from many lipstick shades. I like to stick to the tried and tested shades; shades that look good on me. So to receive these amount of lipsticks in various shades, some I may not have ever considered trying, is great because it means I can experiment for the both of us, and you can go off to get the shades you really like (wink wink).
Before I get into the shades and swatches, let me tell you more about the formula behind the Only 1 Matte Lipsticks – It is a long-lasting, non-drying colour, moisture and wear. It is dead easy to apply and very comfortable to wear. It won’t dry out your lips like other famous matte lipsticks, it actually keeps the lipsticks moisturised, which is a first I have seen with a matte lipstick.
There are 20 colours available, I was sent 9 –
500 Take the Stage
800 Run the Show
700 Trendsetter
200 Salute
810 The Matte Factor
610 High Flyer
750 Look Who’s Talking
120 Call The Shots
110 Leader Of The Pink
I didn’t have the time to line my lips like I would usually do. These pictures are just to show off the lipstick shades.
120 Call The Shots
I really like this shade on me. It is my kind of colour. I love the shade of darkvpink and I will definitely be using this lipstick regularly. It kind of reminds me of a similar shade of lipstick I have in my makeup bag already. Call The Shots definitely does call the shots, it is a keeper.
750 Look Who’s Talking
The Look Who’s Talking is a dark brown shade I kind of like. It surprisingly looked good on me. I wasn’t expecting it to look good. I would likely wear this under a brighter shade of lipstick though, but I do like the overall look.
500 Take the Stage
Now this shade right here is my favourite shade of all. I love the shade of pinkish red. It suits my skin tone perfectly. It definitely takes the stage! Take the Stage is my favourite shade!
The swatch photo didn’t come out right and I only just realised while typing this post, in the dead of the night, so apologies for that.
610 High Flyer
I love the texture of this lipstick, like I love all the others but that is where my love for it ends. I don’t like this nude shade on me at all. It made me look washed out.
800 Run The Show
Now this purple shade took me outside my safe spot as far as lipsticks are concerned. This is one shade I won’t have dreamt of trying or buying but I kind of like it. It is a lipstick I would wear when I want a completely different look.
700 Trendsetter
This Trendsetter shade is a very nude shade and way too pale for me. It didn’t look good on me at all. This shade is my least favourite of them all. I am sure it would suit others, but it is not my shade.
110 Leader Of The Pink
Leader of the Pink lipstick shade is a Barbie kind of pink. I prefer my pink lipsticks darker, so this shade is not the right for me either. But I bet it would look amazing good on many.
200 Salute
This Salute lipstick surprised me. I didn’t think I was going to like it at all but I did. I think I have found the perfect nude lipstick. And I really like it!
810 The Matte Factor
I really like this shade. It is another favourite of mine. I love the deep red shade. It is perfect for the current season. I can see myself wearing a lot of this shade this autumn/winter.
These shades are great. I am certain there is a shade or 2 for every girl in this collection. My 2 favourite lipstick shades are 810 The Matte Factor and 500 Take The Stage.
What are your thoughts? Have you tried any of these Only 1 Matte Lipsticks?

Call The Shots is my favourite, I do like a bright pink and it looks lovely on you.
Thank you Mel x
I have these and I love the texture and formula. Like you say there is definitely something for everyone here.
Yea there is..
Oh wow, what gorgeous colours! I love the bright purple one – perfect for an Autumn look.
Yea x
I’m not a big lipstick user as I always find them very drying…but I should really try to change that as it definitely gives you a different look. I love the purple one on you by the way! 🙂
Ah thanks. They are worth trying for sure.
I haven’t tried these as I prefer the longevity of liquid lipsticks but some lovely shades there x
Ah you should Rhian. They are so fab.
i liked all the shades, including high flyer on you even if you’re not keen on it
Ah thanks Nicol.
I realy loved the Matte Factor on you but I’m patiently waiting until saturday to buy the collection! ( I heard about it 2 months ago!) 😍
Thanks Amy. I bet you would love them.

Thanks Melanie.
I love the Rimmel range and always use this brand for my blusher and lippy – at the moment I’m into deep red and berries – love the matt look
Thanks Emma.

These look fab. I would like to try out some of the pinker shades. I love pink lippy!
Ah nice..Thanks Angela.
What a lovely selection of different colours, not sure all would suit me but I do like the pinker shades.
Yea they are fab.
I love high flyer! It’s quite a nice subtle shade which I like! The matte factor looks so good on you!
Thanks Kira.
All the shades look great on you! I especially love take the stage!
Thank you.
I love that you try the lipstick on to show us too – so many bloggers don’t do this but I always like to see. You can’t beat Rimmel for an every day lippy x
Ah thanks. I think that is the best way to show them off x
I actually really like Rimmel products but dont actually have any of their lipsticks!
They are so fab. You should try some of them.
Beautiful range of lipsticks. I like a pink shade. High flyer would probably be the one I go for.
Thanks..
When I saw Take the Stage on you, I thought that was my fave. Glad it was yours, too! I am not a lipstick person as I really am clueless! I have a couple of M.A.C shades that I only really wear when I film Youtube videos! I should branch out and try a couple of these. Rimmel is so affordable, it would be a good way to experiment x
Yea it is. Thanks Kitty.
I haven’t tried any but the Looks Who’s Talking looks lovely.
Yea it does.
The Matte Factor is such a lovely shade, looks great!
Thanks x
Loving these shades and the matte factor really suits you 🙂 x
Thanks x
The trendsetter is my favorite! I’m always down for a good nude lippie

They are my go to if I don’t want to spend so much on lipstick.

Yea mine too x
I love some of the shades and pretty sure my daughter would pinch them from me. I do need some new lipstick.
They are lovely Lisa.
The matt factor looks great on you, I love that colour. I’ve used Rimmel as long as I can remember so will be taking a look at these
Thanks Zena.
I haven’t tried any of these lipsticks. They all look so gorgeous. My favourites are 610 High Flyer, 700 Trendsetter and 110 Leader of The Pink.
Ah nice Esther.
Salute looks lovely! Really nice colours and lots of choice to.
There is a shade for everyone.
