Milani Color Statement Lipstick, Matte Naked, 0.14 Ounce

I bought this lipstick based on the reviews. My skin tone is closest to a coffee latte and the lipstick suits me beautifully; it's a pinky/red brown that I would classify as a neutral shade. Sorry, that description probably doesn't help. I would buy it again simply because I use it as a blusher, occasionally eye shadow and lipstick.I have found that it lasts maybe around 30 minutes if I don't eat or drink anything. It has a lovely creamy feel and looks amazing but I need to find a way to make it stay longer!As a blusher, it works beautifully. I dab the lipstick against my cheeks and either use my fingers to work it in or my blusher brush if I'm at home. The same principle works for eye shadow.I would recommend this lipstick for it's multiple uses. I certainly enjoy wearing it.

I ordered this Milani matte lipstick as I had heard that formula wise, they are extremely comparable to the Mac mattes and I found this to be very true!When swatches on the hand, the Milani formula seems a little thick and hard, however when applied to the lips it is completely different and I actually think I prefer the Milani to the Mac as they seem a little more creamy and long lasting (I ate a meal with this on and drank a lot of Coke and it still looked amazing).The colour is nice and opaque and seems to leave a stain behind once it has rubbed away which is good as even though you've eaten all of your lippie, you still look like you have some on!The packaging is gorgeous, these look beautiful on display in an acrylic holder and they actually look and feel very expensive! I have ordered more!!

This is a nice subtle day-to-day red, while not being too like you're going out clubbing or to the pub for a few drinks. It's also not too dark, unlike some red lipsticks that I own. This even works being worn to your work.I've not had any issues, like the previous reviewer mentioned, with dry lips during or after wearing. I regularly suffer with dry lips and go through lipbalm like it's going out of fashion. This does pick up the slightest bit of dry skin that you may have, so make sure you've applied lipbalm beforehand, or make sure your lips are ex foliated, to make them extra kissable.I have only needed a couple of touch ups throughout the day, and even then it's only been a quick dab. It has come off very slightly just in the corners, through eating and drinking, but has stood up quite well to my constant lip licking also.The only thing which I will say (which is to be expected, to be honest), that it does not last while kissing your other half. However, it doesn't end up smeared all over their face either, which is a good thing. You may need some touch ups or a whole new coat after a good passionate session, but it's always worth it.I haven't noticed my lips being stained after removing it, although my pillow might have something else to say about that. It does make my lips feel very soft, and it really is a nice shade of red. Really happy with this lipstick and hopefully you will be too!

Milani are right on top of their formula game with these matte lipsticks, i absolutely love them and will continue to purchase them until i have each of the shades. The formula is extremely comparable to macs matte lipsticks which i think is crazy considering these are a third of the price.The pigmentation is on point, the colours i have so far are beautiful and they last well on the lips if you dont consume anything oily! I am also in love with the packaging and think that they look really expensive on display so they sit next to my mac lippies! I actually moved some other high end lipsticks out of the way to make room for these because they are so beautiful.Highly reccomended affordable lipstick that performs like a high end product.

Now,what can I say abt this that doesn't involve the words Amazing, moisturising, creamy all in one, no,as I thought it's not possible.Such a lovely color,I wud expect on very pale complexions this wud b so on trend,if your a goth or just like the look,go order this. Strong eyeliner, strong wing,you will b rocking the night away with this. You need this in your collection for sure. So much so,I bought 2 of the buggers!!
