Demi Matte sets to a satin finish that lasts for hours with extreme comfort, without dehydrating the lips. Faithful to her versatile use, Huda likes to blot her lips after application to mute the shine and achieve a more matte, almost stainy finish.

A creme finish falls somewhere in between a matte and a gloss by putting emphasis on the color and not on the texture. It's neither sticky nor flat, it goes on smooth and it's hydrating to the lips themselves. Typically you won't see any sort of shimmer or glitter but they are highly-pigmented for maximum payoff.

Matte lipstick is great for several reasons: Long-lasting: It stays on your lips for a long time without fading or smudging. Intense color: Matte lipsticks have rich pigmentation, giving you bold and vibrant lips. Minimal transfer: They don't easily transfer onto cups or clothes, avoiding messy situations.

A demi-matte foundation gives you the long-wearing powers of a matte, with a hint of glow that you'd associate with a dewy foundation. The finish isn't as flat as a matte, making it the ideal foundation to try if you have oily skin but still want a hint of glow and luminosity.

Creme finish lipsticks have a higher wax component, and offer a creamy finish which is often moisturising and feels super comfortable to wear.

Lipstick contains wax, oils, antioxidants, and emollients. Wax provides the structure to the solid lipstick. Lipsticks may be made from several waxes such as beeswax, ozokerite, and candelilla wax. Because of its high melting point, carnauba wax is a key ingredient in terms of strengthening the lipstick.

Go with matte if you need a long lasting lip color. If you work long hours or have very little time to reapply your makeup during the day, a matte lip is a great solution for you. Most formulas last from 6 to 8 hours after application.

Most lipsticks are made from three basic ingredients: wax, oil, and pigment. Pigment is the color. Waxes provide shape and a spreadable texture. Oils -- such as petrolatum, lanolin, cocoa butter, jojoba, castor, and mineral -- add moisture.

These matte lipsticks are totally shine-free, have a powdery finish, feel like velvet, and are great for a saturated lipstick look. Satin lipsticks are luminous, have a waxy texture, and are a cross between matte and creamy formulas. Creamy lipsticks are nourishing, shiny, and transfer easily.
