If you are on a beauty budget, I recommend Ever Bilena for their good quality, safe but reasonably priced items. I have blogged about this brand in the past (you can read it here and here). Their range of matte lipstick, in particular, is a favorite because they are long lasting and not as drying on the lips as most other matte lipsticks I've tried. (sorry about the photo because this is an old stock and just decided to do a review now)
The Viva matte lipstick is a light pink shade that provides a soft and sweet finish to your lips. I don't like wearing lip balm underneath my lipstick so a couple of swatches tend to look light. The good news is that it is a perfect shade for everyday look, or work wear. It provides just the right amount of blush without being too overpowering.
Check out some of my looks featuring this lipstick for a swatch:
