Super Lustrous The Luscious Mattes
The Luscious Mattes is a relevant choice when a conventional bullet and a matte-looking surface are both important. It helps separate the look of matte color from the process of applying a setting liquid. The useful question is whether you like the solid lipstick routine in a low-shine shade, rather than whether matte automatically means difficult or easy.

A routine it could suit.
Consider it for an everyday matte lip applied directly from the bullet, with a nearby mirror for the border. Start with a familiar shade family before deciding whether to use it for a more contrasting red or plum.
- Matte bullet
- Soft-focus styling
When to reconsider.
Glass Shine Balm is a more appropriate direction if you want transparency and reflection. A liquid matte is the closer option if you specifically enjoy an applicator and the sequence of painting, setting and checking the lip.
Check current shade availability because a listed product family does not mean every shade remains in stock.
What sets it apart.
Revlon identifies this as a matte lipstick within Super Lustrous, separate from the cream, pearl, balm and Ultra products. Manufacturer descriptions also discuss a light, creamy texture, showing why a low-shine finish should not be assumed to describe a single texture category.
- Revlon lists The Luscious Mattes as a distinct matte bullet family.
- Brand descriptions call the formula light and creamy; this remains manufacturer characterization.
Find a shade direction.
Choose the shade’s contrast independently from the matte finish. A muted nude, bright red and deep plum can each serve different goals across skin depths. Compare the exact current shade on lips, especially where natural pigment changes near the border.
| Reference | Color families to compare |
|---|---|
| Light | Compare a muted rose, peach-rose or light-brown reference for a quieter look. A deeper red or berry creates a more deliberate contrast. |
| Medium | Compare rose-brown, warm pink-brown or terracotta references at a similar depth before changing undertone. Increase depth or brightness when contrast is the goal. |
| Tan | Compare caramel-brown, rich rose or terracotta references with your own lips. Check whether lighter shades become a deliberate contrast or look different from your intended effect. |
| Deep | Compare cocoa, plum-brown or rich rose-brown references for a closer-depth look. Bright or light shades can also be deliberate choices; their coverage needs to be visible in a real example. |
These are optional color-family starting points, not verified matches to this product’s shades. Skin depth does not determine undertone, and neither fixes a person’s color preferences. Check the exact shade and its appearance on your natural lip color.
Lip shapes & goals to try.
Revlon Super Lustrous The Luscious Mattes can be explored on any lip shape. The examples below connect its matte format with optional application goals. They do not rank shapes or predict a wear result.
Full lipsFollow a naturally full outline
Apply inside the existing border, then decide whether a precise or softly blended edge suits your goal.
Fuller lower lipTry optional upper-lip definition
A close-tone liner can emphasize the upper edge while leaving the lower edge softer.
Fuller upper lipLet proportions lead
Follow the upper contour and compare a slightly lighter central lower-lip application if you want a different emphasis.
A useful comparison.
Questions before choosing.
- Have you selected The Luscious Mattes rather than the cream version?
- Is a low-shine appearance more important than a reflective surface?
