    im loving mac amplified cremes for winter

    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!

  3. MB says:

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

  4. Paige says:

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

  5. Sarah M says:

    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.

  6. Gaby says:

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

  7. Jane says:

    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.

  8. Bridgette says:

    I like my lipsticks with a wee bit of shimmer.

  9. Marina says:

    Soft, semi-opaque, glossy.

  10. Sass says:

    Matte is my favorite.

    In MAC I love amplified.

  11. Helena says:

    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

  12. Laura says:

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

  13. Amy says:

    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!

  14. Tina says:

    Lustres!!! I’m such a huge fan!

  15. Pam says:

    i like satin or lustre

  16. Crissy says:

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

  17. Monet says:

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

  18. Maggie says:

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

  19. Liz says:

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

  20. Heatherette87 says:

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

  21. Katie says:

    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.

  22. Christy says:

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

  23. Jadetive says:

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

  24. Ruth says:

    A creamy opaque with a slight shimmer.

  25. Sara says:

    I really love lustre finish

  26. Black Q Tee says:

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

  27. Blusherine says:

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

  28. Miss_M says:

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