Review (3/5): Pretty Metallic Looks More Bronze Than Rose, Sticky Formula, Feels Drying, Best w/ Gloss Over It
This Beauty Bakerie Lip Whip Liquid Metallic Lipstick in Rosé Posé comes in a cute tube and is a pretty metallic color lipstick that spreads on with a sponge type wand. The color reads darker on me than I’d expect from the photo, but it’s a lovely metallic shade that looks like a bronze with rose hue or a little rose gold in it. I have light skin with an olive hue and rosy color lips, and this color is flattering but is probably even better on medium and dark skin tones.
But, while this lipstick initially spreads on smooth and velvety, it stays sticky and doesn’t fully dry down on me even with just one application. It doesn’t feel comfortable as I tend to get dry lips and it adds no moisture (and may be drying my lips more). Used alone, it accentuates lines and flakiness even used after a great lip scrub. And it doesn’t work applied over a little lip balm as it rolls off in weird little pieces. For me, it’s best with a little gloss over it, but it still feels sticky and rolls off (to a lesser extent) if I rub my lips together. Overall, it’s just okay at best. 3 stars.
