What Lipstick Finish Should I Get?

Color might be the first thing you notice in a natural lipstick, but the second most important factor is the finish. We offer so many varieties of finishes that we’re starting this guide with a lipstick finish refresher course. It’s important to consider what types of finishes will work for your look, or even your personal style. We’ll help you find exactly what you’re looking for in a natural lipstick, minus the missteps.

Types of Lipstick Finishes

Matte and gloss and satin, oh my! Have you ever stood in your local paint department, obsessively comparing eggshell to semi-matte paint chips? Well, choosing your lipstick is just like choosing your wall paint finish. Lipstick finish matters, and can drastically change the vibe of any shade or makeup look. We’re comparing common lipstick finishes, to make it easier for you to decide which one is right for you. Peep below to explore high impact lipstick finishes to low-key pouts.

Gloss

Try: Fruit Pigmented Pomegranate Oil Anti Aging Lipstick: Dahlia

Richly pigmented, smooth and ultra hydrating best describe a traditional gloss finish lipstick. These classic creamy formulas are the perfect balance of high shine and matte. The Goldilocks of lipstick finishes. Because of the ultra creamy formula, gloss lipsticks perform best when used in conjunction with a natural lip liner to prevent bleeding or feathering.

Satin

Try: Fruit Pigmented Pomegranate Oil Anti Aging Lipstick: Poppy

Are you also picturing flowing, silk fabric gently waving in the wind? Satin finish gives off that perfect middle ground shine. The majority of satin finish lipsticks are highly pigmented and opaque, giving a smooth feeling (and lustrous look) on your lips.

Matte

Try: Cocoa Butter Semi-Matte Lipstick: Sonora

Matte lipsticks are somewhat new to the game, but we predict they’ll be an everlasting makeup trend. Every makeup artist has at least a few matte lipsticks in regular rotation. Matte lipsticks are the complete opposite of gloss or shine. The flat and almost powdery finish has a way of making even the most daring shades wearable. That means matte lipsticks tend to flaunt more universally flattering hues.

Sheer

Try: Fruit Pigmented Lip Glaze: Pomegranate

A Lip Glaze is a hybrid of a lipstick and lip balm. It’s best used when you’d like a sheer to semi-sheer layer of color on your lips for a low maintenance look. This barely there lip product will deeply moisturize your pout while it enhances your lips natural beauty. The semi-transparent pop of color will become a staple on your “I woke up like this” days.

Tint

Try: Fruit Pigmented Lip & Cheek Tint: Cranberry Glow

Meet your multi-tasking hero. A distant cousin of a stain, a lip tint is slightly more forgiving with its blendable and buildable formula. Lip and Cheek Tints are made is a creamier base than its liquid relative and are a step above on opacity compared to a lip butter. It’s classic compact push-pop tube makes it super travel-friendly for adding color on-the-go.

Before You Choose Your Perfect Lipstick Shade…

We know how tempting it is to dive head-first into the lipstick pool. But to be sure you’re picking the most flattering shade for you, start by identifying your skin tone first. No matter if your skin is fair, medium, or deep, everyone has a tone to their skin. That tone is the most important factor to consider when searching for your perfect shade of natural lipstick.

We’ve formulated almost twenty on-trend matte lip colors so you don’t need to compromise beauty for your health. “Most matte lipsticks contain tons of toxic chemicals and are full of heavy metals. Being that 100% PURE lipsticks are colored from berries, the heavy metals and toxins are not a concern,” says founder Susie Wang. Forget what you know about conventional matte lipsticks that leave your lips dry, cakey, and flakey. We’ve formulated our natural lipsticks in a velvety base of cocoa butter and shea butter to moisturize your pout. Rice powder is the key ingredient in achieving that perfect matte finish.
