Matte lipsticks can tend to be bolder in color and have more staying power than your traditional cream and sheer formulas. Shade Range: 6 | Type: X | Size: 0.1 oz | Cruelty-Free: Yes | Byrdie Clean: No The highest rating for Glossier Sheer Matte Lipstick is the pigment, and testers did acknowledge how nourishing this formula felt along with being very easy to apply. Some unique ingredient callouts are Wax Matrix which combines sunflower and synthetic beeswax which helps give the cushion feeling along with keeping the lipstick itself from breaking, Blue Agave which helps to bind water to the lips, and Safflower Oil which helps to prevent moisture loss in the lips.

The formula is also buildable which allows you to have a barely-there finish or something more colorful if that’s what you’re after.

A unique feature of this formula is the lipstick adapts to your natural lip color, so each shade looks a little different on everyone. The goal was to create a lipstick that has that “just blotted” look without having to blot lips after application. This lipstick is intended to be matte yet wears more like a tinted chapstick than a full-coverage matte lipstick.
