mattified
Rendered without sheen
Mattified describes a surface that has been given a matte finish—flat and non-reflective rather than shiny or glossy.
The term appears most often in cosmetics, where mattified skin has had its natural oils absorbed or covered: This primer leaves skin mattified without looking dry.
A mattified photograph or print has a similar non-glossy quality.
