MUA Satin Lipstick – TLC

Soft. Creamy. Effortlessly Chic.

The MUA Satin Lipstick in the shade TLC is a beautifully balanced nude-toned lipstick that offers a soft satin finish and moisturizing comfort in a sleek, minimalist bullet. Part of the Makeup Academy’s affordable, vegan-friendly lipstick line, TLC is designed for everyday elegance, providing just the right amount of color and sheen to enhance your natural lip tone.

Whether you're dressing up for a meeting or toning down your look for casual wear, TLC gives your lips a subtle pop of warm nude-brown pigment with a smooth, radiant finish that flatters every skin tone.

Key Features – In Depth

1. Satin Finish for Natural Radiance

The lipstick delivers a satin sheen that sits between matte and gloss, creating a light-reflecting effect without being too shiny. This makes it perfect for users who want a polished look with a hint of luminosity—ideal for both professional settings and casual outings.

• Reflective without being greasy

• Doesn’t emphasize lip texture or dryness

• Comfortable for all-day wear

2. Rich Color with Buildable Coverage

TLC is moderately pigmented, offering a rich color payoff with a single swipe, yet it’s buildable for those who prefer a more pronounced lip. The shade is a flattering nude-brown with peachy undertones, versatile across light, medium, and deep skin tones.

• Works well alone or with a lip liner

• Adapts slightly depending on your natural lip tone

• Doesn’t overpower; suitable for minimalist makeup lovers

3. Creamy, Hydrating Formula

Infused with emollients like ricinus communis (castor) seed oil and caprylic/capric triglyceride, the MUA Satin Lipstick ensures a smooth glide and a moisturizing feel. This lipstick wears more like a lip balm than a traditional lipstick, giving your lips a supple, soft texture throughout the day.

• Non-drying and lightweight

• Suitable for sensitive lips

• No tugging during application

4. Comfortable Wear with Easy Application

The lipstick bullet is shaped for precision, allowing you to apply it directly without the need for a lip brush. Its buttery texture hugs the contours of the lips, giving you an even application in seconds.

• Great for on-the-go touch-ups

• Blurs easily with fingers for a tinted balm effect

• Doesn’t feather or bleed

5. Vegan & Cruelty-Free

Like the rest of MUA's product line, the TLC Satin Lipstick is 100% vegan and cruelty-free. No animal-derived ingredients, and never tested on animals—making it an ethical choice for conscious beauty lovers.

• Certified cruelty-free

• No animal testing at any stage

• Free from animal-derived ingredients such as beeswax or lanolin

6. Budget-Friendly Luxury

One of MUA's biggest appeals is its affordable pricing without compromising performance. TLC is proof that you don’t need to spend a fortune for high-quality lipstick. It provides an experience that rivals mid-tier and high-end lipsticks in comfort, color, and finish—at a fraction of the price.

• Ideal for students, professionals, or anyone on a budget

• Frequently available under £2 or equivalent

• Affordable enough to collect multiple shades

Shade Breakdown – “TLC”

The shade TLC stands for “tender loving care,” and it shows in its gentle, warm hue. It’s a soft nude-brown shade with peachy-pink undertones, making it neutral enough for daily wear yet noticeable enough to give a “my lips but better” effect.

• Appears warmer on fairer skin tones

• Pulls more brown or rose on medium to deep skin tones

• Great for achieving a “no-makeup” makeup look
