Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
What is a matte lipstick?
A matte lipstick is a lip colour formulated without shine or gloss, so it dries down to a flat, velvety finish instead of a wet-look sheen. Most matte formulas also transfer less onto cups, masks and clothes than glossy lipsticks do.
What is the best matte lipstick?
There is no single best matte lipstick, it depends on your lip type and budget. For dry lips, a cream-based option like Fenty Beauty Mattemoiselle wears more comfortably; for all-day wear that will not budge, a liquid matte like theBalm Meet Matt(e) Hughes lasts longest; and for an affordable everyday option, Maybelline's Color Sensational range (about RM23 to RM35) is the most widely available in Malaysia.
Is matte lipstick good for your lips?
Matte lipstick is safe for daily use, but the driest formulas can emphasise flaky or chapped lips. Exfoliating and moisturising your lips before applying, and choosing a cream or satin matte rather than an ultra-dry powder matte, keeps the finish comfortable.
Which lipstick is better, matte or glossy?
Neither is objectively better, they suit different needs. Matte lasts longer, transfers less, and photographs cleanly, which is why it works for long days or events. Glossy looks more hydrating and natural, and tends to feel more comfortable on already-dry lips.
