Lipsticks

This collection sits within Lips under MakeUp, and covers lipstick across matte, liquid, and moisture-focused formulas.

Top Brands Available in Lipsticks

IsaDora has the broadest range, spanning sculpting, matt metallic liquid, perfect matte, perfect moisture, twist-up matt, and ultra matt liquid formulas. Estée Lauder covers Pure Color Desire Rouge Excess and Pure Color Envy Matte Sculpting lipsticks. Revlon rounds out the range with its Super Lustrous formula in both original and matte finishes.

Common Problems Customers Face

• Wanting a specific finish — matte, satin, or glossy.
• Choosing between liquid and traditional bullet lipstick.
• Wanting long-lasting colour that doesn't need frequent reapplication.
• Dry lips needing a more moisturising formula alongside colour.

How This Collection Addresses Those Problems

Here's how the range maps to those needs:

• Matte finish — IsaDora's Perfect Matte and Ultra Matt Liquid, alongside Estée Lauder's Pure Color Envy Matte Sculpting, all deliver a matte result.
• Moisture alongside colour — IsaDora's Perfect Moisture Lipstick is formulated specifically for those who find matte formulas drying.
• Liquid formats — IsaDora's Matt Metallic Liquid and Ultra Matt Liquid, and Estée Lauder's Pure Color Desire Rouge Excess, all offer a liquid application.
• Long-lasting colour — Revlon's Super Lustrous range and Estée Lauder's Pure Color Envy line are both positioned around durable wear.
• Easy, mess-free application — IsaDora's Twist Up Matt Lips offers a twist-up mechanism for straightforward application.

How to Choose the Right Product

1. Matte suits a bold, long-wearing look; moisture-focused formulas suit comfort over dry lips.
2. Liquid lipstick tends to offer more precise, buildable colour than traditional bullet formats.
3. If longevity matters most, check the specific product's own wear-time positioning rather than assuming all formulas perform equally.
4. Prep lips with balm beforehand if you're using a matte formula and have naturally dry lips.

None of this replaces checking a specific product's own shade and directions.

Usage and Care Tips

• Prep lips with balm and gently exfoliate flaking skin before applying matte or long-wear formulas, since these tend to highlight dry patches.
• Blot with a tissue after the first layer for a longer-lasting, more even finish with liquid formulas.
• Line lips first if you want to prevent colour feathering, particularly with brighter or darker shades.
• Remove lipstick thoroughly at the end of the day, especially long-wear and liquid formulas, as part of your normal cleansing routine.

Common Questions

What lipstick brands does Cosmetize stock?

IsaDora has the broadest range, alongside Estée Lauder and Revlon.

Which lipstick is best for dry lips?

IsaDora's Perfect Moisture Lipstick is formulated specifically for comfort over dry lips, compared with the more drying effect some matte formulas can have.

What's the difference between liquid and bullet lipstick?

Liquid lipstick generally offers more precise, buildable application and often a more intense matte finish, while traditional bullet lipstick tends to be quicker to apply and can feel more comfortable for everyday wear.
