Faces Ultime Pro Matte Lip Crayon Midnight Rose 12 Review

Hello, everyone. Hope you are enjoying the holidays to the fullest. I did a little shopping for Christmas that included a new launch from Faces. Lip crayons are ruling the beauty world nowadays and the last one I bought was the Colorbar one. This time, Faces Ultime Pro Matte Lip Crayons was launched in two variants namely – starry and matte ones which intrigued me a lot. I loved the range of colors which has beautiful reds and corals with a lot of orange undertones. No wonder, orange is called the new black. I picked up the shade Midnight Rose which is as gorgeous as a red lipstick can be. Read on to know about the lipstick in detail.

My Experience With Faces Ultime Pro Matte Lip Crayon Midnight Rose 12:

Packaging: The packaging is that of a fat chubby crayon, sharpenable and enclosed with a transparent cap. The cap is nice and shuts properly but if you are not careful, chances are that you may tip off the lip color. I loved the color coded packaging and the nice black sharpener provided. There is wastage of products while sharpening so it is one of the drawbacks of sharpenable lip crayons.

Shade: The shade Midnight Rose is a deep berry red leaning on the dark side. The shade is fabulous for any big occasion and quite an easy one to carry off. The color is such a beauty that it will flatter every complexion while being a mismatch. It has no shimmers or gaudy look but is perfect for the season. I would say it is mush have for every girl.
Texture & Finish: The texture is creamy, velvety smooth and glides without any tug or pull. It gives a wet matte look, something we see on models for the photoshoot. Although it is matte, it never makes the dry lips look bad and patchy. It transfers very slightly to cups and glasses but doesn't bleed. It is slightly on the drier side due to the matte texture. So if your lips tend to get dry, use a lip balm. It feels almost weightless on the lips.

Pigmentation: Every time I use this Midnight Rose, I use simply a single coat to define my lips and then I am good to go. You won't need a second layer as the first one is enough to hide the pigmentation. This is the best matte pigmented lip color I have seen.
Staying Power: I have worn the lip color continuously for 6 hours with slight fading from the middle. Due to the intensity of the color, it stays on the whole day with very minimal touch ups. The removal is easy and doesn't stain the lips.
