Velvety finish, amazing formula
I am super picky about formulas and colors for lipsticks. I'm on a forever quest for my perfect red - my number one favorite so far is cruella by nars. This is a tight second! It's a much different shade then cruella, so it brings a totally different vibe. It's a beautiful true red falling slightly warmer than cool toned. The formula is amazing. I like that it has a matte finish but it's not a matte that sucks the life and moisture out of your lips. It feels very comfortable, not like a heavy lipstick. You can easily get an undone faded look, like you're not trying too hard(compared to going all out with lip liner etc). I love the way it wears too, it doesn't just disappear in certain spots. Great staying power overall. I'd rank this with more expensive beauty brands, it's an amazing formula. I've got my sights set on the color wine stain next!
