Matte or crème? Find the lipstick that perfectly fits your vibe

With all the different formulas available for lipsticks, it can be rather daunting to find what works best for you. So, let's break down all you need to know about two of the trendiest, sought-after finishes for lipsticks in the market, matte and crème.

Let's talk about the classic matte  

Matte is rich in pigments with a long-lasting formula and shine-free velvety finish, commonly available in bold and dark colours. It's great at highlighting the shape of your lips, perfectly blends with retro to modern fits, and brings you an understated yet iconic look. The longevity makes it ideal for glamorous events to rigorous work days. Matte lipstick lets you express your sophistication, class, and elegance without having to say a word.

A velvety touch instead

Crème finishes fall in between matte and gloss and it provides a perfect balance of texture with a hint of gloss. It has a high wax component offering longevity with a soft, smooth, creamy, and velvety finish. It's great at protecting your lips with its nourishing and moisture-retaining qualities, making it an ideal fit for professional events as well as casual outings. Crème lipstick brings out an aura of comfort, confidence, and lusciousness in your look.
