Unlock Smooth Matte Lipstick
this Unlock Soft Matte Lipstick It’s a full protection gentle blur matte lipstick. They’re very opaque, full protection, and in response to Hourglass, they’re infused with primer for easy software. I discovered that they did apply easily however there was some tugging and my lips seemed dry. Whereas the matte end appears to be like drying, these really feel like they suck all of the moisture out of my lips, making them really feel a bit of tight.
A lot of the colours I’ve tried make me really feel very heat. The matte end makes these look a bit muted/light, however that may simply be the colour I picked. They appear lovely on the arms. I do not like these shades a lot on my darkish lips. Poppy is fairly and matches the colour I’d put on, however in actual life it emphasised my lip traces and seemed dry.
I do assume they’re sturdy, however they really feel very drying and uncomfortable on my lips and I could not go away them on lengthy sufficient to see how lengthy they lasted.

They’re gentle, shiny, hydrating, and have a barely cooling sensation. Hourglass added 2 shades of their Vacation 2024 Duo Set and I am so comfortable they’re everlasting! These are very delicate so the endurance is not very lengthy, however it’s a components I do not thoughts reusing. FYI, the worth is fairly excessive for what you get.

That being mentioned, I do not normally like or put on matte lips, and I’ve seen lots of constructive opinions about these – I am in all probability the one one who does not like these.
The lip liner can also be good. The colours aren’t too interesting to me, however the components is lengthy lasting and I believe they might be a impartial staple if you do not have lots of lip pencils.
I really like the brand new shades of Phantom Shiny Balm. I believe they’re recent, flattering, and excellent for year-round put on – they make me sit up for hotter climate.
