Aesthetica Long Lasting Matte Liquid Lipstick - Easy application & Removal, Mask Resistant, Full Coverage Lip Stick Formula for a Velvety Matte Flawless Finish That Lasts for Hours

Love the way it stays on for hours.

There is nothing to dislike about it

does not stay on.

These reminded me a lot of the Kat Von D liquid lipsticks and that one Tarte Birthday Suit liquid lipstick that you might get for your birthdays at Sephora or Ulta so I thought I'd compare the performance after attempting to wash them off. Those two aforementioned lipsticks are the two lipstick swatches on the far left.The good:Belle is my favorite between the 3. The shade is so close to my lips that I've been using them every day since I got this. It's very transfer proof and doesn't disappear when I drink coffee or soda. It fades super gracefully due to being so close to my lip color. They last much longer than Kat Von D and Tarte by far. The value is also nice if you plan to use all three shades. I do love that the red is very neutral so it's flattering for everyone.The bad:Cabaret is the reason for the 3 stars alone. It took several washings to get that specific one off my arms. I used Aveeno gentle makeup remover, regular hand soap, and also cleansing balms and had trouble getting it off. However, when the red did get broken up around my arm, it made my arm react and become super itchy. I'm afraid of using Cabaret now. The cleaning wasn't as horrible as the infamous Maybelline lipsticks, but still.Afterglow is orange on me. I don't see myself using this one. It's very unflattering for fair olive undertones such as myself. I don't see everyone using all three unless you've got normal neutral fair skin.

Goes on precisely. But, make a mistake and look out! I found these really stained my skin beyond corrections. The good news is that it goes on good and for an older woman it is nice that it does not creep up the cracks and the lip lines. Looks pretty clean and solid on older skin. If you know what you are doing, and have an absolute steady hand, these very matt lip colors will look fine... but, if you have to correct a line, or wash it off and start over, well, good luck! The tint remains on the areas you want to fix. I tried three different makeup removers and I could not wash it off! I managed to smear it around my face even more! Also, it when it dries, and it does dry quickly, it is very dry. I found my lips pruning up. I did put some clear lip gloss on over, and that moisturized the feel and look, but again, this tint needs to be on perfect to begin with for it to look decent and not cheap! If you are a lipstick artist you may like this, very solid colors, but the novice or sloppy might steer clear. The colors shown on the order page are close, but photoshopped on, and your skin color plays a big roll...I am fair skin (pasty from not going out for these past two years), medium brown hair, and these shaded did not look good on me, I don't think. The red is fun, but I do not think it is for everyday use.

I didn’t really love any of the colors. The red is very vibrant, and the orange tan just isn’t my color. The afterglow color doesn’t look as good on as it does on the model in the pictures. I liked the Belle color the best, and that’s the one I’m most likely to wear.I don’t know if it’s the type of applicator brush or the texture/type of lipgloss, but I found it hard to brush on in a way that matched the natural lines of my lips. And I found it messy. When I tried to wipe away a spot that was outside where I wanted it it seemed to smear. But then it actually stayed on my lips when I tried to clean it off with a cloth and water. I had to use some Vaseline to help get it off.Overall, not quite my favorite. I think if the lipstick was a little glossier it would apply better.

The Aesthetica long-lasting matte lipstick colors go on easily and dry in approximately two minutes. They will not deposit color on cups or loved ones. The formulas last for several hours if not longer. When they fade, they begin to flake off of my lips and leave my lips very dry. The fade so far has not been entirely natural or ideal. The formulas have been dehydrating so far and I have not been able to use them daily because of this. I have needed to use balms and lip masks in order to hydrate my lips enough to try the formula again. I find myself slightly apprehensive of wear as I find that I like them at first but then do not like how my looks look and feel later on. They dry the center of my lips as the day goes on and my lips have peeled. I have tried adding balm or gloss to the formula but they haven't paired well yet. My favorite colors are first Belle, then afterglow and least is cabaret. Cabaret has not had a very good fade on my lips and seems to be the most dehydrating. Afterglow seems to be the formula that works the best but I prefer the color of Belle. I like the tubes and the wands of the liquid lip colors. There is plenty of formula in the tubes. I will continue to wear them as I am able and update if my opinion changes.Suggestions for improvement-The formulas seem to dehydrate my lips--The fade is flakey on some of the colors

Mate finish. Fast dry. Long lasting. True colors. Definitely looks better with a little glossy layer on top, and hydrate well your lips before application because it will show all the imperfections because of the very matte and dry finish. I like lipsticks like that, if you're looking for a more glossy look those are not like that. The finish resemble more a lipstick bar than a liquid one.
