The Rouge Allure Velvet formula is Chanel’s take on a “non-drying matte lipstick” that is supposed to have “intensely rich, long-wearing colour.” This shade had mostly opaque coverage with a lightweight, glide-on texture that was creamy without being too emollient. It adhered well to the lips and lasted for five hours on me, and it did leave a stain behind. I felt like the texture, as it was thinner, seemed to emphasize the texture of my lips, so it didn’t look as smooth as some formulas do applied to the lips. After wearing it, my lips felt slightly dry.

It’s a beautiful, divine shocking pink, and the formula and staying power seems excellent to my “tester”. I’m on the hunt for the perfect new matte lipsticks for my Mum, who after 30 years is leaving MAC, she’s not pleased with the quality/formula of the lipsticks anymore. Regarding the CHANEL lippie, it wore well on my Mum without a liner, and she’s 77 for 5 hours, so a nice product for mature ladies too.
