Tropic Tonic is a matte finish, but surprisingly, it doesn't feel drying for me! I find that is creamy and glides on smoothly when applying. The bullet also deposits a lot of pigment and does not require me to keep swiping and swiping just to get an even application. It doesn't leave a stain though and does not wear gracefully for me.
