What Lipstick Finish Is Right for You?
Lipstick can come in an assortment of different finishes, including glossy, matte, and satin. Glossy lipsticks are the shiniest and perfect for an ultra-reflective lip look.
On the other side of the spectrum are matte lipsticks, which provide intense color payoff with a velvety, plush-looking finish. These formulas tend to be long-wearing, which is great for those who don’t want to touch up their makeup throughout the day.
Finally, there are classic satin lipsticks, which are neither highly glossy nor velvety in finish. These in-between formulas are perfect for when you want a classic lipstick look. They tend to have creamy formulas and feel soft and comfortable on the lips. Satin lipstick also tends to be buildable, so you can adjust the pigmentation to your liking.
What Lipstick Formula is Right For You?
The best way to choose a lipstick is to determine what sort of look you’re going for. If you want a matte lip look, try a long-lasting matte liquid lipstick. For a high-shine look, a glossy lipstick is definitely your best bet—just keep in mind that depending on the formula, you may need to reapply your lipstick throughout the day to keep it looking glossy.
If you want something that you can use for both natural and glam makeup looks, try a satin lipstick or a buildable tinted lip balm.
How Do I Find My Perfect Lipstick Shade?
The best lipstick for your skin tone will typically be a shade that complements your skin’s undertones. To determine your undertones, take a peek at the veins on your inner wrist. Those with cool undertones typically have veins that appear bluish, while those with warm undertones may notice their veins appear greener. If you’re somewhere in the middle, it’s likely you have neutral undertones.
- If you have cool skin, cool-toned shades like cherry red, sandy beige, and purplish pink will flatter your skin.
- Those with warm skin look best in warmer hues, such as brick red, coral, and salmon.
- If you have neutral undertones, most lipstick colors will complement your skin well.
