From pastel pinks to bold orange hues, there are a billion different colors to choose from\u2014but the difficult decisions don\u2019t just stop there.\n\nPicture the deepest, richest brick-red color. Now would you expect the lipstick itself to be sheer or shimmery? Probably not. You can reasonably expect that lipstick to have a matte or satin finish based on the look you are trying to achieve.\n\nNot sure what we\u2019re on about?

Perfect for the office or a simple day-look that\u2019s quick and easy but still makes you look put-together. The texture is super slippery and so you shouldn\u2019t expect hours of wear with just one coat. One of the biggest hassles with bold color is that you <em>really<\/em> have to watch your application as they often come in satin or matte finishes. Sheer finishes are super forgiving and are as easy to put on as a lip balm! Because they rub off easily without you noticing, make sure you chuck the tube into your bag on your way out the door!\n\n<em>Product recommendation:<\/em> Yves Saint Laurent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yslbeauty.ca\/en\/makeup\/lips\/lipstick\/volupte-tint-in-balm\/WW-23102YSL.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Rouge Volupt\u00e9 in Tempt Me Pink<\/a>.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;15&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;38659&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221;][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;15&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cream\"><\/span>Cream<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nThese lipsticks are comfortable to wear and are often formulated to be moisturizing\u2014it\u2019s no wonder that this the most widely available lipstick type! Cream lipsticks glide onto lips like a dream and are fairly long-wearing. They are a great alternative to matte lipsticks if you want bold color without all the hassle and drying properties. BUT\u2026 some cream shades, especially those that delve into deep plum territory, may be too emollient. What does this mean? Well, the colors will slip around on the lips and you won\u2019t achieve opaque coverage. Don\u2019t be fooled into thinking that all cream lipsticks are like this, though! A couple sub-par contenders in the arena doesn\u2019t mean that this lipstick finish isn\u2019t a winner!\n\n<b>Pro tip:<\/b> Cream lipsticks have a tendency to bleed or feather, so try to use a lip liner in a matching shade. If you don\u2019t have a liner in a complimentary shade, try pencil that is clear (no color) that\u2019ll still lock in your color without changing the shade of the lipstick. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.urbandecay.ca\/en_CA\/featured\/best-sellers\/ultimate-ozone\/UD521.html#start=3&amp;cgid=2_508\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Urban Decay\u2019s lip liner in Ozone<\/a> is our recommended choice as it has jojoba oil to relieve your lips from dryness!\n\n<em>Product recommendation: <\/em>Wet \u2018n\u2019 Wild <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wetnwildbeauty.com\/lips\/lip-color\/megalast-lip-color.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">MegaLast Lip Color in Spiked With Rum<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frosted\"><\/span>Frosted<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nOne of the hardest finishes to pull off, but certainly one that\u2019s on trend is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2016\/08\/tbt-frosted-lips-theyre-back\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">frosted lipstick<\/a>. This type of lipstick is loaded with shimmer and can give your look a retro vibe. The best way to wear frosted lipsticks is to layer them on top of cream, satin, or matte lipsticks to give old favorites a face-lift! Frost finishes can give your lips an icy look because of the pearly shimmer\u2014so make sure that you aren\u2019t too heavy handed if you\u2019re just trying to get a subtle sheen.\n\nThese lipsticks can feel heavy and drying on the lips because of the amount of shimmer in the formula, so make sure to condition your lips beforehand! They are probably one of the higher-maintenance lipstick types on this list since they have a tendency to settle into lip lines and the shimmer <em>will<\/em> stay even after the color fades\u2026 proceed with caution!\n\n<em>Product recommendation: <\/em>Lipstick Queen lipstick in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lipstickqueen.com\/catalog\/product\/view\/id\/314\/s\/ice-queen\/category\/12\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ice Queen<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;15&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;38658&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221;][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;15&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Metallic_Glitter\"><\/span>Metallic \/ Glitter<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nConquered the matte look and now looking for even bolder options? Metallic lipsticks may do the trick! Unlike their frosty cousins, metallic lipsticks are as highly pigmented as matte lipsticks but generally come in a creamier formula with slightly less shimmer as a frost formula. The colors are jewel-toned with generally silver, gold, or bronze shimmer that reflect a LOT of light. You know those richly colored foil-wrapped chocolates you buy during the holiday season? Imagine that effect but on your lips (yes, we know that\u2019s a weird comparison, but it\u2019s not wrong!). A couple swipes of these bad boys and your lips look like liquid metal was melted onto them\u2014show-stopping results without the safety warnings!\n\n<em>Product recommendation:<\/em> Jeffree Star <a href=\"https:\/\/jeffreestarcosmetics.com\/collections\/velour-liquid-lipstick\/products\/poinsettia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Velour Liquid Lipstick in Poinsettia<\/a>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Satin\"><\/span>Satin<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nWhen it comes to long wear-time, intense color payoff, and high coverage, the satin lipstick finish comes second only to the matte formula. Satin lipsticks feel great on the lips and won\u2019t slip around as much as much as cream or sheer formulas. They deliver the bold color of a matte lipstick with a bit of sheen while giving your lips the hydration they need. The texture? It makes your lips feel like satin\u2014go figure!

These lipsticks give robust color and have certainly become one of the trendiest finishes of the year. Be warned, though. The matte formula is hard to perfect\u2014you\u2019ll find some disappointing matte shades at all price points. Cheaper lipsticks tend to drag on application, emphasize lip lines, dry patches, and go on unevenly. Because of the low moisture content, they can get very drying over long-term wear. It\u2019s somewhat tricky to work with, so make sure that you exfoliate and moisturize with a good balm beforehand!\n\n<b>Pro tip:<\/b> Got a creamy lipstick in <em>the <\/em>color that you wish was matte?
