Moira’s lipstick collection offers a variety of finishes, each with its unique effect and vibe, so you can pick the one that best compliments your makeup style, comfort, and overall wedding aesthetic. Let’s dive into Moira’s different lipstick finishes and how to choose the perfect one for your big day.
-
Matte Finish – Classic, Long-Lasting Elegance
Matte lipstick is a popular choice for brides due to its sophisticated, velvety look and impressive staying power. Moira’s Matte Liquid Lips give you intense pigment with a smooth, non-shiny finish that stays put throughout the day and night, making it a fantastic choice for photos and all-day wear.
Best For: Brides looking for a bold, modern look that’s transfer-resistant and low maintenance. Matte finishes work beautifully with both bold and neutral shades, from classic reds to soft nudes.
Tips for Wearing Matte Lipstick:
- Prep your lips by exfoliating and applying a hydrating lip balm before application to prevent any dryness.
- For a defined shape, line your lips with a matching lip liner to create a sharp edge.
- Apply Moira’s Matte Liquid Lips or Lip Divine Liquid Lipstick color in a single, even layer for full coverage. Let it set for a few seconds, and you’re ready to go!

Creamy Finish – Soft, Comfortable, and Hydrating
For brides who want a more natural look with a bit of sheen, Moira’s creamy lipsticks offer a moisturizing, comfortable finish. Creamy lipsticks have a slightly shiny texture that keeps your lips looking soft and supple, while still providing rich color payoff.
Best For: Brides who prefer a soft, natural glow and need extra hydration. This finish is ideal for weddings in drier climates or for brides with naturally dry lips.
Tips for Wearing Creamy Lipstick:
- Apply directly from the bullet or with a lip brush for more precision.
- Blot with a tissue to remove any excess and ensure the color lasts longer.
- If you want a bit more definition, outline your lips with a liner that matches your natural lip color to prevent any feathering.
-
Satin Finish – The Perfect Balance Between Matte and Gloss
Satin lipsticks offer a finish that combines the best of both worlds: a rich, pigmented look with a soft sheen. Moira’s satin lipsticks glide on smoothly, offering color that feels lightweight and looks fresh. This finish is ideal if you want your lips to appear fuller and more vibrant, without the high shine of a gloss or the dryness of a matte.
Best For: Brides seeking a classic, elegant look with a touch of natural sheen. Satin finishes work well with most makeup styles, making them versatile for any wedding look.
Tips for Wearing Satin Lipstick:
- Exfoliate your lips beforehand for a smooth application.
- Apply a thin layer, and then blot gently with a tissue to enhance wear time.
- Use a lip liner to define the edges, especially if you’re using a bold color, for a polished look.
-
Glossy Finish – High Shine for a Luminous Look
If you love a high-shine, glamorous finish, Moira’s lip glosses are perfect for creating a fuller, more youthful lip look. Glossy finishes add dimension to your lips and make them appear plumper, reflecting light beautifully for that “just-kissed” effect. This finish is great for brides who want a fresh, romantic look with a bit of sparkle. Try Moira’s Gloss Affair Lip Gloss which comes in 5 versatile shades to ensure that you have the perfect look on your big day.
Best For: Brides who love a fresh, dewy look and want their lips to appear fuller. Glossy lips are especially great for garden or beach weddings, where you want a soft, glowing vibe.
Tips for Wearing Gloss Affair Lip Gloss:
- Start with a lip liner to prevent the gloss from bleeding outside your natural lip line.
- Apply a small amount to the center of your lips and blend outward for a more natural effect.
- Reapply as needed throughout the day, especially after eating or drinking, as glosses tend to wear off faster than other finishes.
-
Metallic Finish – Bold and Shimmering for an Edgy Look
Metallic lipsticks are perfect if you want to add a unique twist to your bridal look. With a metallic finish, you get a shimmer that reflects light and gives your lips a stunning, dimensional effect. Moira’s metallic shades bring a touch of glamor and edge, ideal for evening ceremonies or brides who want something outside the traditional.
Best For: Brides who want to stand out with a bold, modern look. This finish is great for evening receptions and themed weddings where you want a bit of shimmer to catch the light.
Tips for Wearing Metallic Lipstick:
- Keep the rest of your makeup simple to let your lips be the focal point.
- Use a lip liner to outline and fill in your lips before applying the metallic shade for extra definition.
- Layer the metallic color over a matte shade for a custom, long-wearing effect that will last through all the celebrations.
-
Lip Oil– Subtle, Lightweight, and Hydrating
For brides looking for a soft, natural finish, a lip oil is a perfect choice. Lip oils give a hint of color that blends into the lips, giving a “my lips but better” look. They’re lightweight, long-lasting, and fade beautifully, allowing for a low-maintenance look throughout the day.
Best For: Brides who prefer a natural look with minimal touch-ups. Lip oils are also ideal for intimate, daytime weddings or for brides who aren’t used to wearing a lot of makeup.
Tips for Wearing Lip Oil:
- Apply in light layers and build up if you want more color intensity.
- Dab with your fingertip for a soft, blended effect.
