Make Up For Ever Rouge Artist Velvet Nude (#109)

I'd never bought a matte lipstick because I had preconceived notions that it makes you look older and prone to drying out. But then I saw Sayuri Hyodo wearing it in a makeup video, and the overall look was just right, so I bought it. It's moisturizing and non-drying, and while it doesn't completely stay on, it adheres nicely to your skin. Even when it does, the color stays evenly, leaving no strange residue around the edges of your lipstick, nor any fluorescent pink pigment. I love how it keeps my complexion looking great for a long time, so I wear it every day. It has a slightly sweet, candy-like scent. I'd like to experiment with different application techniques, such as layering it with other lipsticks or applying it with a brush. It's also cute to apply it directly, patting it on rather than swiping it sideways. I've always been partial to glossy lipsticks, but since I have oily skin, I tend to have an overly shiny look overall in the summer, so I feel like this lipstick helps to tone it down. This one lipstick has really broadened my horizons.

I've always disliked matte lipsticks because they dry out my lips, but this one is so moisturizing and has a lovely depth of color that's perfect for fall and winter. It can feel dry if you apply too much, but I didn't experience that dryness the moment I applied it, which I found annoying when using it in the past. Because it's a matte lipstick, I think the color lasts longer than glossy lipsticks. Of course, it doesn't last as long as a tint. It's so cute, I'm curious to try the other colors. The scent is unique. It's like a kind of indescribable cosmetic scent. Those sensitive to scents should be careful.

I bought this lipstick because I was attracted by its exquisite nude color range and pink-brown packaging. It's matte, yet applies smoothly and feels incredibly light. It's easy to blend and looks beautiful, and it can also be used as a blush, so you don't have to worry about the color of your blush. I love how this lipstick makes it easy to create a stylish look. It's not a lasting lipstick, but if you blot it with a tissue, it won't stick to cups or anything, and the color lasts well.

I bought 103. I bought it without seeing it in person, so I was nervous until it arrived, but it's so cute! I'm cool-toned, but plums and pinks with a strong blue undertone don't suit me, so this color has a brownish undertone that makes it easy to wear casually on a daily basis. The color payoff is great, so it brightens up my complexion and doesn't make my lips look sloppy. It applies smoothly without feeling dry, and the application feels similar to HERA's Sensual Powder Matte Lipstick. People who like Addiction's Matte Liquid in Vintage Mahogany will probably love this color. I want the other colors too. I also appreciate that it's more affordable than other department store brands.

It's a matte finish that doesn't come off easily, but it's not sticky and has a lovely fluffy texture. I like the color because it makes my complexion look healthy and blends well with my skin.
