KATE 唇部怪兽（05 黑无花果）

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.

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 love that the color doesn't fade!

Soft and comfortable to apply. Moisturizing. Doesn't dry out even after wiping off with tissue.

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.
