Glo Skin Beauty Satin Lipstick - In Bloom

A classic lipstick with a satin finish: full color, but with a soft sheen instead of high shine or flat matte.

Why it works

Lipsticks that stay on for hours usually do so at the expense of comfort. Otherwise, they stay soft, but end up on your mug after the first cup of coffee. Glo addresses this with kaolin clay in the formula: it absorbs excess oil, allowing the color to set without needing a drying top layer. Meanwhile, shea butter and castor oil keep the lips supple, while vitamin E and green tea extract protect and soothe.

The texture is creamy and glides on smoothly from the tube. The finish is satin: you see a sheen, but no mirror-like reflection. The color barely transfers, melts, or feathers.

About this color

In Bloom is a cool pink from the middle of the spectrum: bright, without any brown or orange undertones. It immediately gives your face a fresh look, making it one of the colors that most quickly perks up a dull complexion. Great for cool skin tones.

For whom

For those who want a real lipstick and not just a tinted balm: coverage, clear color, and something that lasts all day. Satin is also the middle ground for those who find matte too severe and gloss too slippery. You get the staying power of a lipstick with just enough shine to keep the lips from looking flat. Also suitable if your lips feel dry easily, thanks to the shea butter and oil in the base.

How to use it

Straight from the tube, or with a fine brush if you want a sharp edge. The latter makes all the difference with a dark color. If you want it to last longer, fill in your entire lips first with a lip pencil—the middle included—and apply the lipstick over it. A common mistake: people press their lips together after application. This just pushes the color toward the edges. It is better to blot once with a tissue and apply a second thin layer.

My advice

The question I get asked most often is which color suits someone, and the answer is almost never in the color itself, but in the undertone. Hold the lipstick against the inside of your wrist in daylight: if you see bluish veins, cool colors will suit you better; if you see greenish ones, warm colors will. That trick takes five seconds and saves you an hour of doubt. And one more thing: a lipstick lasts longer than you think, but not indefinitely. If it smells waxy or no longer glides on smoothly, it is time to replace it. I personally count on about two years.
