Former BuzzFeed Shopping editor Ciera Velarde has this lipstick, and here’s what she has to say: “I have worn this lipstick almost exclusively since 2019, I’ve rebought it several times, and the best part — it’s under $10 a tube. I currently own five shades, but it comes in 30 SHADES, so you’re bound to find one that works for you. In addition to being long-lasting, it doesn’t leave my lips all dry and cracked like other matte lipsticks I’ve tried in the past. And I’ve done the leg work — dozens and dozens of times, I’ve put this on before dinner, eaten a full meal, drunk some cocktails, and it still looks fantastic when I get back home!”
Promising reviews: “Wow! Very happy, and need to order in more colors. I’m a makeup artist and I like to test longevity wear on all my makeup. I literally still had lipstick on the following day, after applying it at 3 p.m. the day before. It is matte, so if you have dry lips, I suggest you exfoliate prior to use. Definitely buy!” —S.S.
“I love this brand and the color. My wedding makeup artist introduced me to this brand and I fell in love. It stayed on ALL DAY. Through the summer sun, dinner, dessert, several drinks and my husband appreciated it didn’t come off on his face. I touched it up once that day just to freshen it up, but it wasn’t even necessary. Due to this, I have bought several different shades for daily wear and highly recommend.” —Larissa Kile
