What kind of lipstick texture/finish do you prefer? Share!

I like a creamy, opaque color with just a touch of shimmer and a soft sheen.

I love lustre and cremesheen lipsticks since their texture feels like a balm and is not too thick.

Lustre or Glaze, most definitely! Lustres are definitely my favorites!

Bolder deeper colors- Matte Brighter colors-Satin Nude colors-Frosted

I really love lustre finish

A creamy opaque with a slight shimmer.

I generally like smooth, creamy, opaque lipsticks. I generally do not like glittery, overly shimmery, frosty lipsticks.

I like creamy and frosty lipsticks. I don't really like sheer or glittery lipsticks.

I like both opaque and sheer lipsticks, but I'm not a huge fan of shimmer. I like a soft sheen for a finish as well. Mattes have great staying power but they tend to make my lips look wrinkly and shriveled if I don't use a gloss.

I absolutely love cremesheens! They are so nice and creamy you don't even need a lipgloss!

I like creamy and sheer glossy finish... like clinique butter shine lipstick are perfect

MAC has a texture called Lustre. It is The Perfect One. Soft, creamy, not dehydrating, soft and smooth and gives a lot of colour.

Anything but Frosts! Very unflattering on my skin tone, but I loving the textures of Cute-ster and Up the Amp. Those feel great!

I prefer creamy opaque color with some sheen. Not really into shimmer. Lustre is okay, when the colors are really bright.

Lustres!!! I'm such a huge fan!

I like glitter, shimmer, frost, and shine! The more, the better! I like a fuller coverage but I usually do a very strong eye, so if the lips have less coverage, that's okay. As long as they sparkle!

If i`m going to wear a lipstick I want it to be opaque and matte.

I like matte, opaque lipsticks (and everything else), and sheer ones that add multidimensional shimmer, but don't greatly affect color. I'm a sucker for iridescence and bold pigmentation :p

Matte is my favorite. In MAC I love amplified.

Soft, semi-opaque, glossy.

I like my lipsticks with a wee bit of shimmer.

I prefer more sheer lipsticks in general, because I think they complement my "everyday" look better. Also because I find that I tend to like the feel of sheer lipsticks on my lips better than really opaque ones.

i like the colorstay ones applied with a lipbrush, so i can draw my mouth in.

I love all textures. What I choose to wear really just depends on my mood or the look I'm going for. However, because my lips have an uneven tone and are quite pigmented, I guess I am drawn more to lipsticks that are opaque e.g. MAC matte, mattene, amplified creme, pro longwear lipcolour and so on.

Shimmery lipstick tends to make my lips look more wrinkly. The NYX Black Label lipsticks seem to work the best for me.

I prefer mac lipglass. The staying power is great, moisturizes my lips and gives a great color. <3

Same here, creamy and opaque. Shimmer in a lipstick makes me look older for some reason (I know that makes no sense), but in gloss it's OK. Go figure!

im loving mac amplified cremes for winter
