Satin Lipstick
Satin lipstick is the workhorse of any cosmetic kit; it works for casual and formal makeup styles. The smooth, creamy formulas go on easily and deliver a striking color depth. Satin lipstick comes in shades ranging from soft pink to vibrant blue, giving you plenty of options for every aesthetic.
What Is a Satin Lipstick?
The term "satin" refers to the finish of the lipstick; it falls between matte and high-shine finishes. Satin lipstick has a soft, natural sheen that helps your lips look healthy and moisturized. It's among the most versatile lipstick finishes, so you can wear it easily to work or a weekend event.
Satin lipstick is available in several formulas. Long-lasting satin lipsticks, such as Maybelline SuperStay liquid lipstick, are made to resist fading and caking; L'Oreal Paris Colour Riche uses vitamin E and argan oil to condition your skin. When you want vivid, saturated tones, look for high-intensity lipsticks, such as Milani Color Statement. Many brands also offer cruelty-free formulas to eliminate animal testing and enable you to purchase with confidence.
Where to Buy Satin Lipstick
You can shop for satin lip colors online at CVS.com or in a CVS store. If you're looking for the best satin lipstick in-store, head to the makeup aisle. Makeup brands including Maybelline New York, Revlon and wet n wild offer satin formulas in a broad spectrum of colors.
How to Apply Satin Lipstick
Satin lipstick has a hint of shine, so it usually looks its best when your lips are soft and smooth. Run your finger over the skin; if it feels rough, use a lip mask to exfoliate and moisturize. Apply your favorite lip primer, and give it a minute to dry. Then, apply satin lipstick. Clean up any uneven areas with a cotton swab.
If you have time, you can take the look to the next level with a lip liner. Line your lips first, and blend the inner part of the line with a sponge or lip brush before applying lipstick. For an evening look, experiment with tinted lip gloss to mix a custom color.
