Opaque gloss is new for those who prefer matte finish

If you thought that after the matte effect fashion on the lips and nails could not invent anything else, you were wrong. Now it's opaque gloss's turn.

The novelty is a gloss that instead of leaving the lips shiny and wet, is opaque when applied. It is a kind of liquid and creamy version of matte lipstick.

It seems a little strange, because gloss is synonymous with shine, but the brands that produce cosmetics bet on this novelty for those who like liquid lipstick, but with a? Silk? or matte.


These opaque versions of liquid lipsticks allow for more convenience, especially for women who rush into their everyday life carrying their lipsticks in their purse. A normal matte lipstick could melt or break, while opaque gloss is a safer option that will hardly break and not melt.

The most common opaque gloss colors are nude, red and burnt pink. Most of them do not contain sparkles to suit the market of women who do not like the mirror effect or the sparkle of some types of gloss.

International brands like NYX, MAC, NARS, Guerlain, Chanel and Illamasqua already have their versions of opaque gloss included in the makeup lines that contain gloss options. Prices for these products range from $ 6 to $ 32.


In Brazil, Maybelline has made available the various colors of lip gloss, lip stain, and this line allows women to choose whether they want a matte or shiny gloss effect. The product has two parts: one white (the balm for shine) and the part containing the lip tint. To give the matte effect, just skip the balm application.
