Make Up For Ever M501 Artist Rouge Lipstick ($22.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a dark berry with pinky undertones and a semi-matte finish. Oddly, the lipstick had an iridescent green sheen to it (in the same way some of Urban Decay's matte Vice lipsticks had!) but doesn't actually have shimmer. It's hard to find true matte berry-hued lipsticks, from my experience, as there aren't too many dupes for this one. It had a smooth, velvety texture that didn't tug as it applied, and it laid down color evenly. The consistency wasn't as flat-matte as it could have been, but I think that helped it be more forgiving when applied. This shade wore nicely for over six hours and was neither drying nor hydrating.
