It feels like yesterday when it was impossible to find a new lipstick that wasn’t ultra-matte. Finally, that’s changing. Sure, we love a matte lip once in a while but who doesn’t like to have options? And maybe our lips need a rest. Now there are some of the best satin lipsticks that feel luxe and soft to the touch. There’s a little shine, a little buttery feel and a lot of pigment. These aren’t sticky and glossy but instead creamy with a bit more shine than a typical lipstick. It’s the best of both worlds.
Mix up your mattes with both bold shades and natural hues from some of your favorite brands. Prices run the gamut from E.L.F. and NYX Professional Makeup to Dior and Hourglass. There are options for everyone depending on your mood and they’re all great choices regardless of cost. That’s also a newer phenomenon. You can find amazing formulas at every price point so it’s an easy trend to jump into regardless of your budget.
Now, it’s true satin lipsticks don’t stay on as long as matte ones but you’ll actually want to reapply these. For example, BareMinerals Mineralist Hydra-Smoothing Lipstick contains cold-pressed European Sea Buckthorn fruit oil, Mediterranean olive oil and Moroccan Pomegranate extract to hydrate and nourish. It’s like an updated lip balm. In addition, E.L.F.’s ultra-affordable Srsly Satin Lipstick is cruelty-free, vegan and feels like butter.
Shop some of our favorite satin lipsticks below in a range of colors and formulas. They have one thing in common: a ton of shine and gorgeous color. You won’t be saying goodbye to your matte babies forever but at least they’ll take a break.
