What it is
KATE Lip Monster is the lipstick you reach for when you want color that actually survives real life—coffee, meals, long commutes, everything. This Japanese long‑wear lipstick glides on with a creamy, comfortable texture that settles into a soft, moisturized finish instead of drying down flat. Each shade has its own personality: playful pinks, moody reds, deep berries, and muted tones for everyday wear. The color stays surprisingly fresh without constant touch‑ups, making it a favorite for busy days and nights out.

Because it's winter, I've been using only darker lipsticks, but I wanted to try a lighter, more natural color, so I bought this. It has a glossy finish immediately after application, but after a while it settles into a more matte finish. The color stays the same as when you first apply it, and doesn't seem to fade over time. It doesn't come off smudge-free, and it's very convenient because you can quickly reapply it without looking in the mirror. I always carry it in my pocket.
I bought the new color, No. 19, but I thought it might be a little darker than I expected and difficult to use. When I wipe it off with tissue, it looks like mucus membrane, but the color doesn't last as long.
This is my first purchase. There are so many different colors to choose from, I couldn't decide which one to get, but I had just used up my pink lipstick, so I bought Mauve Shower, a pink with a strong blue undertone. In the end, I'm so glad I bought it! It's a bluish pink, but it's not too flashy and has just the right amount of color, and the subtle sparkle is cute. As expected, the color lasts well, and it seems to remain even after eating.

I'm a cool winter skin tone. I've bought about 20 Lip Monster shades because they last a long time and have great color payoff, and I always buy new shades as they come out. Itazura Berry is similar to Oath Ruby, and it was darker than I expected. It's not bad, but for cool winter skin tones, I personally recommend 2am, which has a similar color but brightens the complexion while still providing a vibrant look.
