Glo Skin Beauty Satin Lipstick - Mulberry

A classic lipstick with a satin finish: full color, but with a soft sheen rather than high-gloss or flat matte.

Why it works

Lipstick that stays on for hours usually comes at the cost of comfort. Or it stays soft, and then it’s on your bag 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 bleeds.

About this shade

Mulberry is a deep, cool pink: darker and more saturated than In Bloom, with a bluish undertone. Definitely present without leaning into berry or red. Particularly strong for cool skin tones and dark hair.

For whom

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

How to use it

Directly 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 with a lip liner first, including the center, and apply the lipstick over that. What often goes wrong: people press their lips together after application. This just pushes the color to the edges. Instead, blot once with a tissue and apply a second thin layer.

A tip from me to you

The question I get asked most often is which color suits someone, and the answer almost never lies 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 more than an hour of hesitation. 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’s time. I personally count on about two years.
