Matte lipstick yea or nay?

chiclet — Tue, 21 Nov 2017 11:41:54 GMT

I like the fact that it does not run in the lines and stay put and I don't need a lip pencil. However, I hate the look on me. When It wears off it does so unevenly so there is more color around the rim of the lips. I would rather it all wear off evenly. I don't like a greasy gloss look either. I just like a lipstick with some shine and your lips look healthy. Any suggestions for lip stick would be appreciated. I do like the It blurred lines lipstick.

@chiclet Are you wanting a liquid matte lipstick or in a tube form?

Colourpop has has some really nice liquid lipsticks and they have different formulas. I like the Ultra Satin as it’s not as drying.

Milani has some really nice lipsticks and they’re at the drugstores Walgreens, cvs, etc.

I tried many matte lipsticks and they do exaggerate lines. However, Maybelline's Color Sensational Creamy Matte Lipsticks feel great to me. I own several colors. My favorite is Clay Crush.

I like matte once in a while but prefer a balm lipstick and the Stickgloss lipstick by Laura Mercier as it is 3 ways in one.

I don't care for the look on myself. I like a shimmer.

I really like the JORDANA MODERN MATTE lipsticks. They are not a true matte but more on the satin side. They stay on fairly long and they don't dry out my lips. I found them next to the register at the cosmetic counter at Walgreens for about $3. There are many colors as you can see here. I think you can see them better on the Walgreens website.

I've found to help the matte lip sticks not dry your lips out as some can, I've started using a lip primer and that seems to help the condition of the lips and keeps the color truer as well.

At 68 I find that matte lipstick looks very severe and hard on me. Creamier formulas with strong color saturation seem to brighten and soften my look.

@chiclet NAY! NAY! on matte lipstick!

I have tried so many brands and formulations and done all of the exfoliation and lip balm first technique to no avail.

My lips never look their best. The fact is, matte lipstick IS drying and the color fades in an odd, lip aging way.

The only matte lipstick wearing lips I've seen that truly look pretty are those in magazine ads or on magazine/online models.

Even worse is the task of trying to find pretty, NEW lipcolors in satin, shiny or cream finishes!

By the way, does anyone know where I can find some NEW lipstick shades in a non-matte finish?

@nevergivesup

You posted precisely what I was thinking! I'm not even sure I understand the point of matte lips.

@Quinny, take a look at Red Apple Lipsticks. The webiste is very user-friendly. You can filter for several things. They have deals and promotions. And you get points for purchases, reviews, and I think for liking them on FB. The discounts add up.

The quality is excellent, and the shade selection is very good for a small company. Also, their CS is outstanding. Oh, and free returns for SIX months, even if used.

Some have a slight fragrance/taste, but it's natural and actually pleasant.
