Matte vs Glossy Lipstick

Matte and glossy lipsticks have different benefits. Here's how to choose between them.

1

Matte for Longevity

Matte lipsticks generally last longer than glossy formulas.

2

Gloss for Dimension

Gloss adds fullness and catches light, making lips look plumper.

3

Matte Can Be Drying

If you have dry lips, matte may emphasize texture. Exfoliate first.

4

Gloss Needs Reapplication

Glossy formulas transfer and wear off faster than matte.

5

Combine Both

Apply matte lipstick first, then add gloss to the center for the best of both.
