Most matte lipsticks look bold but feel drying and cling to every line. Covergirl Exhibitionist Demi-Matte Lipstick pairs saturated, demi-matte colour with a cushioned, conditioned feel, so you get a polished finish without sacrificing comfort or ease of application.

A base of ricinus communis (castor) seed oil, shea butter and hydrogenated vegetable oils helps to nourish and soften. Squalane, avocado and coconut oils support a smoother glide and less drag on application. Vitamin E (tocopheryl acetate), vitamin C derivative (ascorbyl palmitate) and retinyl palmitate provide antioxidant support against everyday environmental stress.

The formula feels creamy on application, then settles to a soft demi-matte finish that looks refined rather than flat. Silk powder and mica contribute to a smooth, velvety texture that helps blur the look of dryness. The structured wax blend helps colour cling evenly to lips for comfortable, longer wear.

Apply directly from the bullet for full coverage or tap on for a softer stain-like effect. The creamy texture allows you to refine the lip edge with the tip of the bullet or a brush. Reapply as needed; the conditioning oils help lips feel comfortable through multiple touch-ups.

High pigment concentration delivers opaque coverage in one stroke.Oil-in-matte technology balances bold colour with a cushioned feel.Soft-focus blurring agents minimise the look of lip lines.Lightweight esters keep the formula flexible for hours.

For added definition and extended wear, pair with a coordinating Covergirl lip liner before applying. Layer over a light touch of balm for extra comfort, or finish with a gloss if you prefer a higher-shine effect while still benefiting from the lipstick’s pigment base.

A demi-matte lipstick that delivers rich colour, a smoother-looking finish and comfortable wear in a single swipe.

• Step 1. Start with clean, gently exfoliated lips and, if needed, blot off excess balm so the surface is smooth but not slippery.
• Step 2. Use the tip of the bullet to outline your natural lip shape, focusing on the cupid’s bow and corners for definition.
• Step 3. Fill in the rest of the lips using the flat side of the bullet, working from the centre outwards in short, light strokes.
• Step 4. Press lips together to distribute the formula evenly, then refine the edges with a lip brush or cotton bud if required.
• Step 5. For a softer demi-matte look, gently blot with a tissue; for more intensity, apply a second thin layer.
• Step 6. Reapply throughout the day as desired, focusing mainly on the centre of the lips to refresh colour.

Pro Tips

• Warm the bullet on the back of your hand for a second before application to enhance glide and reduce skipping.
• For a blurred, diffused finish, apply to the centre of the lips and blend outwards with your fingertip.
• Line and lightly fill lips with a matching liner first to help reduce feathering and extend wear.
• Tap a small amount onto cheeks and blend quickly for a coordinated, monochromatic make-up look.
