I've seen a few lipstick threads, but most are about finding that perfect shade of red, or lipstick cases. I'm once again on the quest for lipsticks that are truly matte. Every time I search for matte lipstick, I come up with semi-matte or "cream" matte -- which ends up being a solid cream lipstick and not matte at all!
Anyone who's seen me comment on lipstick threads knows I enjoy using Lipcote as a lipstick sealant. So far my best luck has been with Rimmel London's Kate Moss Lasting Finish in the red tubes.
Since different formulas work well with different skin types, I figure I could keep this thread as a go-to for those like me who have trouble finding an genuine matte lipstick.
My classification for matte:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reds
Corals
Dusty Roses
Browns
Tans

The black tubes are more tacky, and crackle if I use Lipcote, even with a translucent powder.
The Only 1 Matte looks like a cream matte also.
Want Lipcote? So far this is the only seller I've found with the best price. Sadly I can't find who I used to buy from often, but for all I know it's the same person. Keep in mind you need to have a good lip care routine to use this. It's drying, and people often notice a tingle when first using it. I'm just used to it, and I stay hydrated & moisturize my lips whenever I'm not wearing lipstick.The Only 1 Matte looks like a cream matte also.

My classification for matte:
Not creamy
Not extra moisturizing, no oils
Glide has a little friction, not smooth like creamy solids.
Very minimal marks on utensils, straws, cups, and with a blot test.
Almost blot-proof with translucent powder.
If you own Lipcote or similar sealant, lasts all day
I've listed everything based on color. With each brand, I've gone from brightest to deepest. There may be a few colors that pass for Dusty Rose and Brown. I've decided to use Dusty Rose as a shade, since it's not quite pink, but not quite brown. I don't know much about authentic lipstick shades after early 60s, so if you want specific colors listed, please let me know.Not extra moisturizing, no oils

Bonus: find it lasts nearly the entire night, if you were lazy and slept with it on.
