Formula Overview
$27.00/0.1 oz. - $270.00 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to be "feather-light" and dry down to a "flattering finish that lasts all day." It is described as "smudge-proof, budge-proof, non-drying, with no chalkiness or crumbling." It is a lighter-weight, thin, spreadable liquid lipstick that dries down to a matte finish that doesn't feel heavy nor sink noticeably into deeper lip lines.
The pigmentation varied from semi-opaque to opaque, but in general, they weren't as boom! pigmented as most liquid lipsticks are on the market. For those who prefer to sheer out or use this type of product as a stain, that might be a major plus. The texture was very thin but spreadable and easy to work with.
Most shades lasted between five and seven hours on me and felt non-drying over time. They wore away gradually/flatteringly, and they were resistant to transfer until a meal.
As far as a formula by Lisa Eldridge, I did feel like this particular formula wasn't as innovative or as interesting as past releases have been. It felt comparable to other, more modern liquid lipsticks that dry down to a matte finish that have been released.

Ribbon is really beautiful. I believe this color may be in her velvet lipstick line. I need another red like I need a hole in my head but I have a fair number of reds that are just not in formula’s that I like. I think it is time to purge some of the ones I just don’t wear anymore. I purged a lot of lipsticks when I first came back to makeup but I have to admit that I didn’t purge a lot of reds. I keep hoping that someday I will put on a red lipstick, look in the mirror and say, “Oh my gosh you look beautiful in this color!”
Both are gorgeous shades and the finish doesn’t look dry or harsh.
Both look splendid and quite vivid! I really may get Dragon for summer ’24… HOTD szn 2!
Dragon would be beautiful with your hair and eyes, Nancy. I am looking for a new perfect red for the holiday season but I need something really, really cool/blue undertoned and a wonderful formula. I also need the perfect eyeshadow palette that allows me to do an understated eye to go with the red lip, LOL!!
Hi Deborah! Have you tried Hourglass My Icon or Chanel Pirate? they’re my favourite blue-ish reds and both have a comfortable long-lasting cream formula.
Thank you Blanca. I actually looked at Pirate while I was in Seattle recently and just didn’t pick it up. I will order it online. Thanks for the recommendation.
glad I could help, hope it will work for you and that wearing it will bring you joy!
I decided to purchase Pirate based on your recommendation. I am sure I will love it!
