Our review

wet n wild is America's quintessential budget makeup brand, and Silk Finish has been a bestseller for decades. With 73,000+ reviews, it proves lipstick doesn't have to be expensive.

The texture is creamy, glides well and gives rich color in one swipe, with vitamins and macadamia oil so it doesn't dry. This shade has a frosted finish; many other shades are matte or satin.

The packaging is basic and it won't last like a long-wear formula, but at under $2 it's nearly unbeatable.

How to use

Apply straight from the bullet; add a second layer for more intensity.
