How to Change the Finish of Matte Lipsticks
The simplest way to change the finish of your matte lipstick is by applying a lip oil or gloss on top for a high-shine glossy finish, but if you want to create a satin effect you’ll have to do a bit of mixing. “Mix equal parts of a colorless lip balm with the matte lip color and it will turn into a satin formula,” explains Riddle. This trick is best done with a matte liquid lipstick, like the Maybelline New York Super Stay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick, since you can easily add the color with the doe-foot applicator instead of damaging a lipstick bullet.
