L'Oreal ParisMakeup Rouge Signature Matte Lip Stain, I Explore

This is a beautiful lip stain that glides on easily and is smudge resistant once it dries. But be careful while applying because it will stain skin or clothing and doesn't wash off easily. Stays on all day. I typically apply a gloss to soften the look. Didn't notice a taste or smell. Good quality item and good amount/size.

Shade: I ENJOYIt applies like a watery lip stain. The first coat was the way stains typically look on me. A pigmented wash of color that allows a little of my own natural lip tone to peek through. I wanted a finish that was more opaque so I layered a second coat on and I achieved the desired color intensity I was looking for. TIP: Allow product to dry between layers. Drying time increases with each additional layer of color.The lipstick does not dry immediately so if you get a lil messy at the corners or edges, you can take a cotton swab or tissue and fix it.To be honest, since this formula feels like water going on your lips I was worried it would dry my lips out. To my surprise, I forgot I was wearing lipstick. This is weightless on the lips. It did not leave my lips feeling dry.Now, I drank water, soda, orange juice, more water, etc.,. I ate an oily dish and even wiped my mouth with a tissue to remove food particles. I did not retouch my lips after the initial application. The end result is there was color intensity loss. It ended up looking like an old school lip stain. I find that acceptable because it still looked attractive. There was no crumbling, no dryness, just made my lips look like I was wearing a lip stain at the end of the day.

The product appeared new and was sealed, but it was not in L’Oreal packaging. It was in generic packaging like you sometimes see at the dollar tree. The lipstick itself is great, soft, moisturizing and pigmented.

I love this color. I get compliments all the time. It is a lip stain so it will stay with you most of the day. I have a ChapStick addiction, I apply it all day over this. By the end of the day I still have faint color on my lips. I would imagine it would last longer if you don't need to apply ChapStick all day. This bottle lasts about a year. I bought three for fear of it being discontinued. Buy more than one, the price is worth it.

I purchased 450, Adored. On here, it looks like a great, creamy, medium red. When it arrived, I noticed it appeared much brighter than on here, but I know lipsticks and nail polishes sometimes appear quite different once actually applied. Well holy clownface, is this bright! It is not the lovely red pictured on here; it is a bright orange-coral. On those with warmer and/or darker complexions, I could see it being a fun summery color, but on my pink-toned light skin, it looks absolutely garish. It does apply decently and for the brief time it was on, felt okay although kind of sticky and tacky, but I couldn’t deal with the color long enough to find out how long it actually lasted. I’m not sure if they still sell these in stores, but if they do, I highly recommend you at least check them out in person before buying on here because the Amazon representation is nowhere near accurate, at least for this shade.

Great coverage of a matte lip stain. Add a gloss to give it a different look. This is a semi-long wear lip stain. Goes on great and stays.

Wonderful lipstick. Leaves a stain afterwards. Goes on easy and easy to reapply after eating.
