![]() ![]() There’s no pulling or draggint to get even, opaque coverage. These matte lipsticks are soft, creamy, and glide on smoothly. Lancôme Color Design Matte Lipstick in Corset My mouth formed an “O” as soon as I applied Stylista. (That’s where the pleasantly surprised bit comes in!) Like it was love at first swipe. However, regardless of how they look, they feel nothing like matte lipsticks. In natural light, they look like a more traditional matte lipstick, but in the sunlight, they have a subtle sheen. I would describe the finish of these new lipsticks as more of a semi-matte or demi-matte. Lancome has reinvented the feel and touch and play of a matte lipstick and modernized it in a way that works. Pleasantly, fabulously surprised! Matte lipsticks have a reputation for being chalky, drying, and difficult to work with. There’s only one word to sum up how I felt about Lancome’s new matte lipsticks: SURPRISED BEYOND BELIEF. But matte formulas are often drying, and moisturizing formulas tend to slide off your mouth. I, for one, prefer rich color, slightly matte, with no sparkles, shimmer or frost. They were very interesting and had a rather nice formula those who have experienced woe with matte lipstick in the past may very well be interested to try them however if you’re simply not a matte girl, you probably don’t need to indulge.Everyone’s in the mood for a “statement lip” these days, and there are zillions of offerings. Anyone who doesn’t use matte lipstick (honestly, if you aren’t a matte lover you probably don’t need to indulge!).Anyone who wants a comfortable matte lipstick that doesn’t pill, migrate, fall victim to fall lines, etc….Anyone who likes a sophisticated cat eye with a popping matte lipstick!.Matte lovers (although you guys are rare, I know you’re out there!)!.This isn’t a bad thing but the problem is I keep propping it up on a table or my vanity the wrong way and it ends up falling over due to the raised Lancome emblem. Although very elegant it irks me that the tube resembles an upside down lipstick tube. The colors were all very pigmented and wore quite long through the day. ![]() Out of the three I liked Lucky Kiss the best and Bronze Show the least (I can’t pull off Nude Brown so well). I tried three shades which were Posh Pink (Reddish Fuchsia Pink), Bronze Show (Nude Brown), and Lucky Kiss (Dusty Brownish Rose). They apply beautifully and glide on with nary a hiccup or a tug. The formula manages to feel very soft, smooth, and moisturizing yet unmistakably matte in finish. ![]() They glide on very smooth and have a velvety soft finish but oddly they also feel hydrating which isn’t exactly what you automatically think of when it comes to mattes. I’m not a matte girl and these won’t make me into one however count me impressed that they don’t feather or pill or migrate around my mouth. How Lancome created a comfortable, weightless formula that looks and feels amazing is beyond me because I tell ya, Matte, it’s the debil’s own playground!Ĭolors are vivid and richly pigmented which is always a plus but I thought the formula was incredibly interesting which is really what needs takin’ about. It dries and pills off on lips, it migrates and moves around, it settles into fine lines, feathers, and creates a big, hot, hairy mess.īut slap me happy that the Lancome Color Design Matte Lipstick does NONE of the above. If you have dry lips (or even if you don’t) or fine lines matte lipstick is simply horrifying. Matte lipstick is almost as scary as matte eyeshadow.Ī lipstick with a revolutionary color seal complex is comprised of soft silicones and pigments that are combined with comfort agents to deliver a rich matte color that is feather-resistant,non-drying and long-lasting. Lancome Color Design Matte Lipstick was recently introduced…Īnd boy was I worried. ![]() Oh, and afterward, the makeup gods had to rest because they tried blending with mattes and it exhausted the hell out of them that’s actually when Sunday came to exist but that’s a story for another day. Thus matte came to exist because good can never exist without evil. The makeup gods figured that creating velvety shades of color that blended easily should rightfully have an equally bad formula which didn’t blend so great, had awful shades such as taupe and nude brown. When the makeup gods created the beauty world they also created matte which is kinda the equivalent of Hell on many levels. ![]()
