Matte lipstick - Page 2

I don't like matte lipstick at all. I like a sheen or shine to my lips. Re nude lips. I don't like the skin color nude look, but I love a pink nude or a my lips color nude!

I'm with BeckiWV. I only wear matte lipsticks - Lancôme Matte Neutrale was my favorite, but it was discontinued so now I get it from eBay. I also like the Laura Geller Crème Couture Mocha Rose. To me, matte doesn't mean you look like you put some clay on your lips. It means a beautiful pigmented lipstick with no shimmer or sparkle or pearlessence.

I think of matte as meaning creamy with no frost or sparkles. I wish there were more of them in both lipstick and lip gloss.

I often find a shade I love but wish it didn't have little glitter bits in it.

I agree that I don't like dry looking matte lipsticks. That's how most long wear type lipsticks look and feel on me. I can't wear them. I wind up with wrinkley prune looking lips.

And I do best with neutral not bright and not pastel either shades. Neutral to me means MLMM (my lips but better). Not nude as in brown or light chalk pink.

My lips have quite a bit of natural pigment still and I like lipstick and gloss that lightly emphasize their natural color.

Bobbi Brown makes a lipstick called Creamy Matte and I love it. Matte lipsticks tend to last longer on the lips but usually most matte lipcolors feel very drying, so I decided to try her creamy matte and I love it,its very mosit and creamy but not super glossy but not matte or drying at all. To me its the perfect combination. I prefer lipstick with color, nudes do nothing for me!

The OP used the adjective "flat," so I assumed (you know what they say about that) that she was in fact referring to a flat matte formula.

At certain age you have to learn one rule. If you emphasize you're eyes you keep your lips nude otherwise you look older and not attractive. If you do bright lips, you quiet down your eyes. That is all. Balance!!!!!

I like the look. I think it's more modern.

This is what I'm wearing to work now-BB Creamy Matte and it is creamy. I love the Tawny Pink, a beautiful rose-MMLB shade for me.

And I was complimented by the botox nurse that my lips were full and even at my age. It was a nice compliment to hear-so naysayers can keep their opinions about that compliment to themselves.

I have a couple, not BB and I just can't adjust to not having the slick feeling of gloss or shinier lipstick.

Rules are made to broken.

I actually agree with you, but not much I can do about it. If I followed that rule I could never wear eye make-up. The lips are always bright. I hear all the time that lip color fades with age...so I've been waiting and waiting.
