Lisa Eldridge Blush Velveteen Liquid Lip Colour

Blush

Lisa Eldridge Blush Velveteen Liquid Lip Colour ($27.00 for 0.1 oz.) is a darker, rosy mauve with subtle, warm undertones and a matte finish.

  • Mostly opaque pigmentation in one layer
  • Lightweight, thin, spreadable
  • Applied evenly, dried down with slight emphasis of lip texture/lip lines
  • Long-wearing (5 hours), non-drying

Formula Overview

$27.00/0.1 oz. - $270.00 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to be "feather-light" and dry down to a "flattering finish that lasts all day." It is described as "smudge-proof, budge-proof, non-drying, with no chalkiness or crumbling." It is a lighter-weight, thin, spreadable liquid lipstick that dries down to a matte finish that doesn't feel heavy nor sink noticeably into deeper lip lines.

The pigmentation varied from semi-opaque to opaque, but in general, they weren't as boom! pigmented as most liquid lipsticks are on the market. For those who prefer to sheer out or use this type of product as a stain, that might be a major plus. The texture was very thin but spreadable and easy to work with.

Most shades lasted between five and seven hours on me and felt non-drying over time. They wore away gradually/flatteringly, and they were resistant to transfer until a meal.

As far as a formula by Lisa Eldridge, I did feel like this particular formula wasn't as innovative or as interesting as past releases have been. It felt comparable to other, more modern liquid lipsticks that dry down to a matte finish that have been released.

Tropical Vacay

L’Oreal Tropical Vacay Infallible Matte Resistance Liquid Lipstick ($13.99 for 0.17 oz.) is a brighter, light-medium pink-leaning coral paired with a flat, matte finish once it finished drying down.

  • Fully opaque pigmentation in one layer
  • Smooth, fluid, and easily spreadable
  • Applied evenly; very tacky as it set (took about 2 minutes) – do not touch lips while setting!
  • Long-wearing (5.5 hours well, but not 16 as marketed); lightly drying over time

Formula Overview

$13.99/0.17 oz. - $82.29 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to have "bold color payoff" in "one effortless swipe" that will last for 16 hours and have a "powdery matte finish" and a "lightweight feel." They are pigmented, matte, and fairly lightweight/flexible once they dry down, but they are lightly to moderately drying and not all shades performed as well. The lighter shades felt thicker, were heavier on, took longer to dry down, and broke down unevenly after a meal (particularly from the center of the lips).

The more mid-tone and deeper shades tended to apply better and felt more comfortable to wear, as they were thinner and more forgiving of lip texture and lip lines, plus they wore away more evenly over time. The larger issue with these is that while they are drying down, you cannot touch your lips together at all as they get quite tacky in that in-between time and will lift up product. Some shades took as long as three minutes to set while others were more like a minute or so.

The lighter shades lasted five to six hours before becoming unbearably uneven and needing a reapplication (well, full removal and then a fresh application). The darker shades lasted six to eight hours well and lingered into the 10th hour decently. I found the formula to be on the drying side, though not the worst I've come across over the years.

There was a heavier floral fragrance that was noticeable in the tube and as the product dried down, but it seemed to dissipate after it was fully set.

Formula Overview

$30.00/0.08 oz. - $375.00 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to have a matte finish with "12-hour" wear with "one swipe, instant color" that is comfortable to wear and "transfer-proof." I think they've improved upon the longevity compared to the brand's Velvet Matte Lip Pencils of many years ago, as even the lighter shades are long-wearing, but 12-hour wear is a stretch (that's not a surprise, though).

The formula featured a soft setting process where the initial texture was more emollient, creamier, and easy to maneuver with along the curves of the lips, but it set to a lightly tacky finish that was transfer-resistant and remained flexible, so it was comfortable to wear. Most shades wore between five and six hours with a couple of the deeper hues lasting over six hours. It was a non-drying formula to wear over time.

The shades were pigmented in a single layer, and I felt like they were quite easy to use to get a nice, even line of color along the edges of my lips. It was also a more forgiving and flattering finish as it didn't emphasize lip lines or lip texture for the most part.

Formula Overview

$9.00/0.11 oz. - $81.82 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to have "intense colour payoff" with a "super comfy" feel that "dries down for long-lasting wear" while feeling lightweight. It is "new and improved" for 2023. I think it is more comfortable than the prior formulation, but it has similar pitfalls; namely, the shades often appear a bit "cracked" once they dry down and I smile as the product doesn't seem to really pull into and smooth out while drying down.

The consistency was lightweight, spreadable, and fluid without being too watery or too viscous. As the formula dried down, it remained more flexible than the previous formula and definitely felt lighter-weight, which made it more comfortable to wear. Most shades were semi-opaque to opaque in one layer. They dried down fairly quickly but were forgiving if I pressed my lips together before the formula was fully set.

Unsurprisingly, they were not as long-wearing as the prior formula, but they still lasted between five and eight hours, depending on the vividness and depth of the shade. They were transfer-resistant until they came into contact with more oily food, and they were non-drying overall.

Fairytale Ending

L’Oreal Fairytale Ending Infallible Matte Resistance Liquid Lipstick ($13.99 for 0.17 oz.) is a very pale pink with strong, warm undertones and a flat, matte finish. This shade took awhile to dry down, and it was thicker than most shades; there was a very paint-like feel to it as I worked with it. I found it didn’t want to adhere as well to the inner area of my lips, too.

  • Fully opaque pigmentation in one layer
  • Smooth, fluid, somewhat thick, and spreadable
  • Applied evenly; very tacky as it set (took about 3 minutes) – do not touch lips while setting!
  • Long-wearing (4 hours well, but not 16 as marketed); lightly drying over time

FURTHER READING: Formula Overview for details on general performance and characteristics (like scent).

Formula Overview

$13.99/0.17 oz. - $82.29 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to have "bold color payoff" in "one effortless swipe" that will last for 16 hours and have a "powdery matte finish" and a "lightweight feel." They are pigmented, matte, and fairly lightweight/flexible once they dry down, but they are lightly to moderately drying and not all shades performed as well. The lighter shades felt thicker, were heavier on, took longer to dry down, and broke down unevenly after a meal (particularly from the center of the lips).

The more mid-tone and deeper shades tended to apply better and felt more comfortable to wear, as they were thinner and more forgiving of lip texture and lip lines, plus they wore away more evenly over time. The larger issue with these is that while they are drying down, you cannot touch your lips together at all as they get quite tacky in that in-between time and will lift up product. Some shades took as long as three minutes to set while others were more like a minute or so.

The lighter shades lasted five to six hours before becoming unbearably uneven and needing a reapplication (well, full removal and then a fresh application). The darker shades lasted six to eight hours well and lingered into the 10th hour decently. I found the formula to be on the drying side, though not the worst I've come across over the years.

There was a heavier floral fragrance that was noticeable in the tube and as the product dried down, but it seemed to dissipate after it was fully set.

Kosas Star Power Weightless Lip Color

Star Power

Kosas Star Power Weightless Lip Color ($26.00 for 0.1 oz.) is a medium-dark, reddish-berry with subtle, cool undertones and a lightly glossy, cream finish.

  • Semi-opaque pigmentation (marketed as medium coverage)
  • Smooth, creamy, lightweight, slightly thick
  • Applied evenly and smoothly on lips
  • Long-wearing (4 hours), non-drying

FURTHER READING: Formula Overview for details on general performance and characteristics (like scent).

Top Dupes

These are the dupes the editor has pulled but not yet rated and officially entered.

Formula Overview

$26.00/0.1 oz. - $260.00 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to have a "satiny smooth, creamy" feel that is hydrating and has "medium coverage." The pigmentation was nearly opaque or fully opaque across all shades I trialed, so they were nowhere neear medium coverage.

The texture was lightweight, creamy, and smooth, and they seemed more prone to melting as almost all of mine were weak (angled or partially broken) at the base. I wouldn't have thought they were THAT prone to breaking based on the texture, though, as they didn't have high slip when applied to my lips.

The lighter shades lasted three to four hours and were more non-drying than hydrating for me. The mid-tone and deeper shades lasted four to five hours and were similarly more non-drying than hydrating while worn. I'd argue that they were a bit "thicker" despite not really being thick in feel on my lips than the typical bullet-style lipstick.

The formula had a subtle, sweet vanilla scent but no discernible taste.

Formula Overview

$9.00/0.1 oz. - $90.00 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to have "medium coverage" that dries down to a "diffused matte finish" with "no cracking or flaking." Most of the shades had semi-opaque to opaque coverage, so they were more pigmented than marketed.

The texture was lightweight, thin, and very fluid (almost watery in a way, that being neither pro nor con!), which made it easy to spread across my lips and get an even application of product. I noticed that the formula was generally forgiving of lip texture/lip lines and didn't settle into my lip lines while drying down.

Most shades took 30 to 60 minutes before they were more matte, or else one could blot gently to achieve that diffused matte finish faster. Once the formula was mostly dried down, it remained flexible and comfortable to wear while feeling lightweight. I achieved four to five hours of wear and felt that the formula was non-drying over time. It had a subtle, sweet scent but no discernible taste.
