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 - (Nude)

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.

Love the way it stays on for hours.

does not stay on.

There is nothing to dislike about it

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.

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

This lipstick definitely has a matte finish as it does not have an over gloss protective layer like other similar lipsticks. The colors are true to the advertised picture and look great on. They lipstick covers well without leaving bare spots during application. The advertisement says this is mask resistant and that was not my experience. I am an educator and am in a mask all day long and while the mask wasn't covered in lipstick early in the day, by the end of the day the mask clearly had lipstick on it and much of it had worn off my lips. Overall, I would say this is a good lipstick for a few hours but did not last all day for me.
