Matte finishes and bold lip color have been on-trend for a
while so I'm excited to share the pretty new lipsticks from
Essence. There are 8 vibrant shades to choose from for just $4.49 each which is easy on the wallet and gorgeous on the lips!
Left to right: 04 fuchsia, 05 bright classic red, 01
nude, 07 dark plum and 06 deep red
The lipsticks are sheathed in chic matte tubes corresponding
to the color and the scent is mildly fruity. I love that they are embossed with
the essence logo (for a little extra flare) and the pigment is rich and vivid.
The color swatches full-coverage on my hand and medium
intensity on the lips with buildable saturation. You may need a few layers for consistency but the Essence Long Lasting Lipliners are great for shaping.
The formula is quite smooth and a tad creamy but the lipsticks may shift in
the tubes with application so make sure not to twist them up too far. If this does happen, I gently move it back into
place with my finger and pop it in the fridge to reset.
Although the finish is matte, the lipsticks retain moisture to
prevent discomfort and dryness. The color adheres well for longer wear and fades into a light stain. Rough, chapped skin may be emphasized so exfoliating is a
good idea and for best reapplication I recommend wiping off the stain completely
and starting fresh.
The red and pink tones are flattering on all skin tones
The neutral shade has a soft peachy undertone while the deep plum
has a dramatic purple base.
If you are looking for affordable matte lipsticks I recommend giving these a try. Essence is available
at Shoppers Drug Mart, Loblaws and Ulta Beauty in the U.S.
