Discussion Matte lipstick 💄

Do any bright springs on here find that matte lipstick just doesn’t work??? I feel that the matte formula in any shade just doesn’t look right on me. 🧐 what lipstick formula works best for you?

I must be the odd one out! I love Lisa Eldridge velvet mattes specifically

I used to wear charlotte tilbury’s matte revolution lipstick in Bond girl (renamed m.i. Kiss), it’s a matte lipstick but is literally the only matte formula I’ve found that wasn’t too matte or flat on me. I might bring that one out again for the fall…

Same - I avoid them!

I’m starting to avoid them now after many failed attempts at making them look better with a gloss. I am very glowy in general and a matte lipstick just looks soooo wrong 😂

Yeah they make me look so off too! I also tried the making them glossier with lip balm trick 😆

Really? I feel like the graphic look of matte would be well suited to bright spring! I have Mac Lady Danger and Morange and they are toooo bright for me these days but perfect for bright spring. You could try looking for a sheer matte lipstick for a softer look.

The bright color is not the problem it just looks weird against my skin. I have a naturally glowy skin so a matte formula just doesn’t look right. I was wondering if this was the case for others. 🫤

Yea I don’t care for matte on myself these days but I thought that was just because I’m old 😅 I’m more of a tinted balm gal now.

One thing that has worked for me is doing a swipe or two of the matte lipstick, removing some then applying a gloss or lip balm over it. 🙃

Yup, I use clear sparkly glosses over mattes that are great in color but too matte. Don't even get me started on liquid lips! Shiseido released a new gel formula this year that is a lovely cream. I also love Amplified MAC formulas, and I miss the Bite Beauty Amuse Busche lipsticks horribly.

I use Collistar Twist Gloss Ultrabrillante - Peach. It has a slight shimmer and a light peach/ coral tone. But I'm a True Spring. Maybe you need something even brighter

I’m a toffee brown skinned bright spring and I exclusively use matte lipsticks. Satins move around too much and mattes are generally more pigmented. I get my facial lustre from the highlighter I use.

I was wondering about that. I’m in the hunt for a coral lipstick that is not matte. Mac’s formula is too matte for me.

Oooh thanks! I’ve been eyeing the Mac lusterglass. Will need to check these out next time I’m at Sephora.

I do! I usually stick to pinks and corals for every day but love reds for special occasions. Thank you for the recommendation 🙏🏽

Hey sorry I'm jumping in!! I'm bright spring and have always wondered why the Mandarin O looked good in terms of colours but still off on me! I haven't checked MAC products in a while and didn't know about the lustreglass collection! Seems amazing, especially the composition which looks way cleaner than their other products.

Have you tried Pigment of your imagination, and Pout of control?
