So this is Inglot’s matte lipstick in 517. It’s a pink-mauve color and goes very well with my skin tone. Sometimes I’m afraid of matte lips– lest is washed out my skin, but this color is working well for me. Sometimes applying your makeup in artificial light doesn’t really show you what you actually look like; so I applied my entire face in natural light this morning, while watching TiVo’d episodes of House Hunters International!
Alright so let’s get down to the basics:
Application- Sandpaper
The application of this lipstick is just like the previous matte lipstick from Inglot I reviewed. I really had to slather this sucker on. I mean 4 or five swipes. I was thinking the whole time– Indya, you’re going to walk out of here looking like a clown ::sideeye::
But to my surprise, I did not! This took a lot of mashing together and dabbing to get just right. That however leads me to believe that if this lipstick were used frequently, I’d probably run out faster than the average tube of lipstick. On the brighter side, I’ve never run out a tube of lipstick…
Coverage- Full Bodied
This is full-bodied after some work. As I mentioned before it takes many swipes to get it on there
Shine- Matte
As matte as they come. If you did want some shine you could apply a lip gloss over it and it’d still look nice.
Wearability- Above Average
Does not transfer much while drinking. Eating isn’t a problem but I always wipe my mouth after eating everything for fear of crumbs. And I snack all day! After consumption I only had to reapply to the bottom lip.
In a nutshell: This brand of lipstick is definitely an option for those wanting a matte lip. However, you may want to apply a lip balm before because it’s not very moisturizing. I am conflicted on whether or not I would buy this again because there are so many lipsticks out there. But not many matte that actually look good on me. Also, because of the fact that I have never run out of a tube of lipstick. I just didn’t get that OMG I have got to stock up on this feeling with this one. It’s pretty though.
What do you guys think?
