Illamasqua Matte Lip Liquid Review & Swatches
llamasqua Matte Lip Liquid Lipstick is a newly launched matte liquid lipstick that launched with the Illamasqua Matte Effect for Summer 2014.
This new innovative formula has a liquid formula but has the color pay off of a lipstick with a velvety matte finish.
Let’s take a look!
Illamasqua Matte Lip Liquid have a thick liquid texture with an intense color pay off. The formula applies with a brush applicator attached to the wand. The formula has a creamy, buttery feel as it glides onto lips but sets to a fully matte finish within seconds of application. I find the formula applies messy so a transparent lipliner will help you to “stay in the lines” as you apply and also keep the product from migrating or feathering particularly if you have drier lips like I do. The formula does tend to accentuate every single natural lip line I have so a little balm prior will help to fill these areas and ensure a smoother finish. Vitamin E is in the formula but these aren’t terribly moist and they do feel quite dry after they set on my lips but it isn’t an uncomfortable dryness. The wear is incredible at around five hours without fading although as I said above they tend to migrate so you’ll want to avoid that by lining prior. The single shade I tried, Surrender, was opaque on a single application and just got brighter and bolder with each layer.� For those sensitive to fragrance and flavor they do have a faint buttery taste and smell but it’s really subtle!

Wearing Surrender
I think Illamasqua Matte Lip Liquid will find a special place in the heart of those who love matte lipsticks. The pigmentation and incredibly long wear is testimony to Illamasqua great formulas.
These are available now in three shades at Bloomingdales and Bloomingdales.com.
