Formula Overview
$15.00/0.15 oz. - $100.00 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have "medium, buildable, and high-impact matte coverage" that is long-wearing. It had a thin, watery consistency (it is "water-based", so that came as no surprise) that spread more readily than I expected, which was nice as it made it easier to get an even layer of product.
The coverage seemed more along the higher end of medium to semi-opaque, though it was certainly buildable and amenable to a second layer, if desired. The product dried down to a mostly matte finish within 30 seconds, and it seemed to dry down without settling into my lip lines for the most part.
Despite being thin/watery, the dry down didn't feel clingy and vwas incredibly lightweight and a lip product. Most shades lasted at least four hours on me with a few lasting as long as six hours, while the formula felt non-drying over time. It had a sweet, vanilla scent but no discernible taste.

When I wear lighter shades of liquid lipsticks, it really emphasizes my lip lines. I have very wrinkly lips. I am sure there must be some scientific reason why darker shades don’t seem as noticeable but these would both be too light. I also have very pigmented lips so the color might not translate well. As we age, our lips boundaries begin to disappear and so I sometimes use a liquid lipstick to highlight the boundaries and then add my lipstick. I use lipstick pencils the same way but the liquid lipsticks have a better staying power.
I forgot to mention, in my many Korean makeup hauls I ordered a couple lippies in what they call lip muds?!! Anyway, the texture is thick but they don’t dry down all the way like a liquid lipstick. They usually leave a stain behind which I like and don’t emphasize my lip lines. I don’t have trouble with them bleeding outside my lip boundaries. I am going to order a few more just to see if I got lucky with the colors I chose or whether they are all so comfortable to wear, at least for me.
Nevermind is a pretty shade, but I do have MAC Please Me. Sadly, a lipstick that I rarely reach for.
