The Face Shop Rouge Powder Matte Lipstick | Review and Swatches

This summer I’ve been wearing bold lipstick and neutral eye shadow with winged liner – it’s my go-to look when I don’t have the patience for a 90 minute makeup session.

If you’re looking for dramatic, vibrant color, The Face Shop has just released a gorgeous range of Powder Matte Lipsticks ($22 ea) that compliment all skin tones.

I can’t get enough of the sultry berry, deep pink and mauve undertones. There is also a bright red (for when you’re feeling sassy), a beautiful rose tinted nude, classic coral and a dark red that is perfect for a night out.

The creamy, moisturizing formula glides on buttery smooth and delivers bright, buildable color with a sexy blurring effect. The texture is lightweight and comfortable but the coverage is not completely opaque (almost but not quite). Make sure your lips are smooth and exfoliated because any roughness will show through.

The pigment tends to transfer easily so you will need to reapply after eating and drinking. Make sure to wipe off any crumbs so the texture remains consistent.

If you’d like to try these pretty lippies head to avon.ca.
