I received this as a gift from Suzykirei. RD500 has a nice shine and color, but it's not too flashy. I think it's a very easy-to-use color. It also doesn't dry out the lips, but if that bothers you, applying a gloss over it might make it perfect...!!
I received this as a gift from Suzykirei. Thank you. At first glance, it looked like a bluish pink, which I'm not a fan of... I thought it wouldn't suit me. However, it's a mysterious pink that looks good on warm skin tones too. The blue isn't too pronounced, and it's an easy-to-wear color. It's not very shiny, but it's not matte either. Kanebo Rouge Star, which has a high shine, tends to fade quickly, but this one stays on my lips, although not as well as Lip Monster. It's a product that makes me want to try other colors too.
I was looking for an orange lipstick and happened upon this Maquillage lipstick! The color, payoff, and smooth application are great. However, perhaps because my lips tend to dry out quite easily, I felt a slight tightness and lack of moisture after a short time. However, when I applied the lipstick on both the upper and lower lips, although it did feel smooth, wrinkles became more noticeable. The same thing happened even when I reapplied or layered the lipstick. It may be due to the season, but I always feel an indescribable tightness and wrinkles that I don't feel with the other lipsticks I'm currently using. Maybe it would be different if I applied gloss before or after the lipstick, but at this point I don't think I'll be buying it again.
I received this from suzykirei. The color is cute! It's a mauve pink with a blue tint! When I wear this, my complexion looks instantly brighter. It's very convenient because it gives you both shine and color with just one product. It didn't irritate my lips. The color doesn't last as long as tints, but it doesn't make my lips look faded. I think it makes my lips look plump and plump. I really recommend it for people with black hair! I think it makes your skin look whiter. I also recommend the color (the photo shows two coats).
This is a gift from Suzykirei. Thank you! This is actually my first Shiseido lipstick... I wondered what it would be like, but when I tried it, I was surprised by the soft texture and how easy it was to apply, just like a lip balm. It's very moisturizing. I thought the color would be light, but it seems I was applying it wrong. This lipstick contains a rich beauty oil, so if you want to enhance the color, hold the tip of the lipstick against the center of your lower lip for about two seconds to melt the beauty oil, then apply it all over your lips for a stronger color. I tried it, and sure enough, my lips looked more lustrous and moisturized, and the color was intense! I wondered if RD500 Dusty Red would work for warm-toned skin, but it blended surprisingly naturally. The color can be adjusted by how light or firm the application is, which is helpful. The beauty oil keeps lips moisturized without irritating them, even if they tend to dry out easily. The color does require reapplication, but it applies quickly and easily! I'd like to try other colors as well.
