Silky Sienna

Revlon Silky Sienna ColorStay Satin Ink Liquid Lipstick ($12.39 for 0.17 oz.) is a medium, reddish-plum with moderate, warm undertones and very, very fine gold pearl strewn through a cream-based finish that had light shine.

  • Opaque pigmentation
  • Very fluid, spreadable, creamy
  • Slightly thicker/easier to over-apply
  • Set to a lightly-to-moderately tacky feel, no lifting
  • Transfer-resistant until eating
  • Very long-wearing (9 hours of wear but doesn’t make it through two meals well)

Formula Overview

$10.99/0.17 oz. - $64.65 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to be "comfortable, brilliant" and have "16-hour" wear that "doesn't dry out your lips" and is "highly pigmented." Most of the shades had semi-opaque to opaque coverage; some of the vampier shades tended to be sheerer, while the more mid-tone shades tended to be opaque.

The texture was lightweight, creamy, and smooth, but it was more fluid, and I found that the applicator seemed wont to over-apply. I tried to use one side of the applicator and only lightly patted on the other side if I needed more product to get an even layer of product, but if I used both sides of the applicator, it seemed like too much product.

The brand recommended a "minute or so" to set, and I would agree; it seemed to need a longer period to really get into place to a more transfer-resistant finish. It was more prone to getting on my teeth until it was set, but after it set, I did not have issues with it transferring onto my teeth, but the wait was long-ish in "feel" just sitting there.

Once set, it had a moderately tacky feel but typically did not lift up color. There were a few shades that I found to perform less consistently with the overall range, and these tended to have issues with texture at different stages of wear. It was comfortable to wear, flexible, and non-drying.

I found the wear varied a lot from shade to shade with some shades lasting as little as six hours and others lasting closer to 12 hours. In general, most shades did not get through two meals well. Unsurpising, some of the lighter shades tended to be the shorter-wearing shades, whereas richer and more red-based shades lasted better.

It had a sweet, fruity-floral scent but no discernible taste to me.
