Creamy lipsticks: new classics, from matte to luminous
Until some time ago there were two types of lipsticks: matte or luminous. The former lasted longer, even all day long, but they could be uncomfortable on dry lips. The latter, on the other hand, lit up the smile but disappeared at the first snack.
Fortunately, recently, the Maisons have launched the new finish mat-metal which, opaque and shiny at the same time, combines the best of both worlds.

It is true that cosmetic companies are competing to overcome this problem with formulas with high treating power but a few more precautions can give the texture a really long life all day long.
The steps are few: «Apply a tone-on-tone pencil all over the lips, apply a first layer of lipstick and then dab with a tissue before applying the second, protect the mucous membrane with another tissue to fix everything with a powder and finally, go over the color one last time», advises Portomeo. More difficult to explain than to do!
