Formula Overview
$29.00/0.19 oz. - $152.63 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have "high-impact color" with a "smooth, lightweight texture" that is "comfortable and non-drying" and has a "velvet-matte finish." They are very pigmented, smooth and velvety textured liquid lipsticks that applied evenly and spread well across my lips, but had a bit of a clinginess to them that wasn't drying but felt noticeable.
I've noticed that some silicone-heavy formulations can look bumpy or unmixed in close-ups, though they don't actually feel that way in person when pressing my lips together. The consistency was whipped, as described, but it was thicker and not as lightweight as I would have expected for this type of formula.
I found the formula fairly forgiving of lip texture but was more prone to settling into my lip lines, especially over time. It was better to a light blot after the initial application, which seemed to minimize the settling over time. "Dry down" is a bit of a stretch as they aren't transfer-free until enough has worn down over time. Most shades lasted for five to seven hours and felt non-drying.

I love this color so much!
Looks like it might drag on any dry lips I might have. Also, never thought I would say this but maybe too bright for me?
Not bad for those who can carry it. However, these are exactly the types of shades that make me look greenish! It’s the curse of having an olive undertone to my skin. Not that noticable unless I wear neon bluish fuchsia lipstick or nail polish!
That is so pretty! I don’t think it would look good on me but wow.
Now THAT is DEFINITELY a neon fuchsia! Look good on you Christine!
Adore this color. FYI the brand for this review is miscategorized as Dior (instead of Fenty)
Fixed! Thanks, Marty!
