A guide to lipstick finishes

Matte: No shine or shimmer or anything. Very pigmented and stay on great. 

Satin: Mostly matte but with a slight sheen, not quite glossy, Good color payout and semi moisturizing.

Cream: Moisturizing and very creamy, but less pigmented and don’t stay quite as well. (think revlon lip butters)

Lustre: Look wet, very glossy and sheer with okay color payout and okay wear time.

Frost: Quite sparkly and shimmery. Okay color payout.
