Matte or glossy lipstick?

[Hotchocolatewithcream]

I prefer matte, you?

Yes Estée Lauder, Bobbi brown. Matte looks better isn’t sticky
If you want some shine add a dab of lip balm

I get very dry lips so most matte lip products are out for me as they just make it worse. Even if my lips are fine that day, matte will suck all the moisture out of them! Matte products always feel so uncomfortable on my lips. It would be nice to wear them as they can look lovely on other people.

Love matte lipsticks especially Pat McGrath. If I want gloss, I add a bit of lip balm

I’ve always wanted to try pat mcgrath lippies, shes fab

Every Black Friday she does a sale and the lipsticks are reduced to £12 each. Wait until next Black Friday and stock up

Oh! Good to know. Heard her do a podcast she’s a right laugh,top woman

I don’t wear bullet lipstick, only liquid lipsticks so matte all the way!

Glossy is a pain, it seems to transfer and make a mess of my light hair etc

Mattes so drying. I love a sheen to lipstick and it's moisturising too.

Matt seems to make my lips look dry and wrinkly - I go for a mid-sheen.

I'm either matte or just a lip balm.had pawpaw red and it was subtle tint

Just checked the Pat Mcgrath website and her lipsticks are now £10 each! Going to order a couple

I hate matte it dries my lips out, not that they need much help

Mattes are too dry for me but I sometimes wear Ruby Woo (even though it is a bit 'blue' so I top up with a bit of balm. Most are too ageing for me, I look best with a bit of a shine/sheen.

Ruby woo is ridiculously dry - it is all the way on the extreme end of the matte scale due to it’s “retro matte” formula. The standard Mac matte formula is much more hydrating.

Modern matte lipsticks aren’t drying. I use Huda Beauty and Mac liquid lipsticks with no dryness/wrinkling.

I’ve ordered a new matte lipstick to try from Avon, hope it’s nice 🤞🏻

Are there additional customs or post office charges on pat McGrath deliveries?

No, no additional custom charges and delivery is free

I hate matte lipstick. It looks weird on me!

Always matte here.

Matt here too. My absolute favourite is maybelline matte ink. I have many, many different colours.

Am now off to check out pat mcgrath lipsticks.

Oh, rough question, most of my lipsticks are matte but I've recently purchased so glossy ones from Revlon. Glass shine. They are so nice. I think I'd probably choose a satin. Some mattes are really hard to apply.

I think matte lipsticks make people look older and more tired. I tried to get into them because they're on trend but I'm 35 so couldn't pull it off. If I was 20 maybe

Me too. I think matte is for the under 25s. I love the staying power of a matte but find it ageing. So I prefer a satin lipstick. I love the look of glossy, but longevity is poor.

I’ve tried adding balm or gloss over the top of a matte lipstick, but always find that it “eats”the lipstick and it wears off horribly patchy.

If you wear a balm over matte and it doesn’t disturb the lipstick, which brands do you use?

Does anybody wear lipstick or foundation these days when wearing a mask is important? What’s the point? Who wants a greasy, dirty mask?

Neither, I prefer a cream formula, somewhere between the two. Like satin paint is neither matt nor gloss 🤣
