Meanings
-
(not-comparable, of a cosmetic) Partially matte; between matte and glossy.
Personally, I don't have a preference when it comes to the finish of a lip product; one day I could be cosplaying as Blair Waldorf with her iconic glossy pout and the other I'm in my 2014 King Kylie Tumblr era, rocking a matte (and overlined, duh) lip. ¶ So, with that in mind (do with that information as you will), I wasn't sure how an in-between demi-matte formula would compare.
