Long lasting colour intense lipsticks with a semi-matte cushioned finish. Half-way between matte and satin Antimatter lipsticks glide onto lips smoothly and provide comfortable continuous wear. Pro Tip From Illamasqua Head Makeup Artist – Mel Barrese: Antimatter Lipstick gives a soft matte finish but with a cushioned comfort feel to the lips. While this formula is dense in colour I love to apply it lightly for a soft stained look by using my fingers and patting the colour onto the lips. For a full look apply with a makeup brush or straight from the bullet. I sometimes use Antimatter to create a soft blush look by using a soft fluffy brush and blending in circular motions on to the apples of cheeks.
