they’re very creamy and glide on very smooth! They are also very pigmented, and do not slip and slide around like a regular cream lipstick They do not set matte, but do not have a super sheen like the Enamel line. The red colours in particular had some issues applying opaque, but I attribute this to having applied chapstick before to try to minimize dry patches. Because of this I recommend avoiding creamy/oily lipbalms before applying these as they tend to apply patchy on top! These also last quite a long time and fade nicely, without leaving odd patches or the famous lip ring.
