Old school, new vibe. As summer fades and fall beauty takes over, it’s time to bring back rich color, defined eyes, softly sculpted skin, and statement lips. KIKO MILANO’s limited-edition Matte Diaries collection is made for exactly that kind of beauty moment, blending vintage-inspired shades with modern, velvety textures for looks that feel polished without ever feeling too serious.
Think soft reds, timeless neutrals, muted greens, and that effortlessly cool ’90s influence that always seems to find its way back into our wardrobes and beauty routines. The collection makes it easy to play with a more defined, sophisticated look, whether that means a perfectly matte complexion, brushed-up brows, a smoky eye, or a bold lip that does all the talking.
From the first coffee of the morning to after-work plans, Matte Diaries is all about beauty that stays put while still feeling comfortable. Its mix of complexion essentials, eye-defining favorites, and statement-making lip colors lets you build everything from understated everyday looks to full-on fall glamour.
And because the best beauty collections are also about the little details, KIKO MILANO adds a playful finishing touch with accessories designed to bring a bit of personality to your makeup bag. The result feels nostalgic but completely current, like your favorite beauty looks from another era, brought back with a fresh attitude.
The collection is made for creating those effortlessly put-together looks that work from morning coffee to after-dark plans. Build a softly sculpted complexion with the Triple Wear Face Multitasker, add warmth with the Bounce & Blur Matte Bronzer, and sweep on the Bounce & Blur Matte Blush for that perfectly diffused flush.
The Timeless Invisible Liquid Mattifier takes shine control to the next level with its innovative shake-to-activate formula, while the Timeless Invisible Mattifier delivers a soft-focus finish with a lightweight pressed powder that keeps your complexion looking smooth and polished.
For the eyes, the Throwback Matte Eyeshadow Palette, Sketch & Blend Matte Eyepencil, and Ultimate Pen Long Wear Eyeliner make it easy to go from subtle definition to something a little more dramatic. Finish with the Tint Reveal Volumising Mascara and and perfectly groomed brows using the Timeless Definition Eyebrow Wax. Whether you want softly defined arches or a more sculpted, laminated effect, the brow duo brings instant polish to any fall look.
Then there are the lips, because fall beauty is always better with a good lip. Start with a touch of comfort with the Secret Oil Core Lip Balm Limited Edition, featuring a nourishing oil core and a glossy, reflective finish. From there, it’s all about playing with color and texture. The creamy, ’90s-inspired Matte-À-Porter Lipstick and ultra-matte Mattest Lip Stylo to the double-ended Sketch & Define Matte Lip Pencil, there are plenty of ways to play with shape, color, and texture. And for those who refuse to give up shine completely, KIKO’s iconic Unlimited Double Touch brings a glossy finish to the mix while keeping the look polished and long-lasting.
Even the accessories get the retro treatment. The Old Glory Case in petrol-blue faux leather, complete with houndstooth detailing and gold-tone accents, is the kind of beauty pouch you’ll actually want to leave on your vanity. The Old Glory Sharpener keeps your eye and lip pencils perfectly precise, while the matching Tied In Time Hair Bow adds an unexpected vintage touch to the finished look.
Matte Diaries is fall beauty with personality: sophisticated but playful, nostalgic but completely current. Consider Matte Diaries your invitation to embrace the matte side of fall: confident, velvety, effortlessly chic, and definitely not shiny, not sorry.
