matte finish
Flat surface texture
A matte finish is a surface texture that absorbs rather than reflects light, producing a flat, non-glossy appearance.
The term applies across materials—paint, paper, photographs, makeup, nail polish: She chose a matte finish for the bedroom walls.
Matte finishes hide imperfections better than glossy ones but show fingerprints and smudges more readily.
