Beauty | Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolors

I adore matte lipsticks! I love how they look on, and most of the time I find them to be longer wearing and amazing in colour. Even more so I'm getting into the world of liquid lipsticks which is quickly becoming a huge trend in the beauty world. Well, from what I've seen at least. Recently I discovered the Ultra HD Matte Lipcolors by Revlon and because I've been using them so much recently I thought I could talk about each of them and share my thoughts!

 

First up is a colour called 'Love'. It is a beautiful bright red matte with a little orange tint in it I'd say. It's definitely towards the brighter spectrum of reds than the more classic and true reds. This was the first I bought of the four and probably my most worn colour too. I think it's absolutely gorgeous to brighten up simple makeup and the wear is great! I can go a whole day without having to reapply, but eating does fade the colour away a little bit with the need for a touch up. Once dry the colour has great staying power and is probably one of my most kiss-proof lipsticks.

 

 

Next up is a lovely pink colour called 'Devotion'. It's quite a natural pink colour and dried matte it has a dusky feel to it. I don't know if it's with particular make up looks I've been doing that it looks duskier, but it works and I like it. The staying power with Devotion is good too, but I wouldn't rate it as well as Love just because it does wear a little easier as the day goes on. It is less noticeable when it does wear though as it's quite a natural pink and works well with my natural lip colour. I often find it difficult to find a lighter pink shade that compliments my skin tone that isn't a bright or darker pink, but I think this one works quite well. What do you think?

 

 

This next colour is 'Addiction'. In the packaging it looks more like a dark pink-purple shade but when I applied it for the first time on my lips, I felt it looked more like a bright(ish) dark pink. Does that make sense? I definitely expected this colour to look a lot darker on the lips from my first impression and I was a little disappointed when I first applied it but nevertheless this is a great colour. I've grown to love it as found I wear it more often than I expected to actually! Just like Love I find this colour wears quite well with little need to touch up often but I do find that it isn't as kiss-proof as my favourite red. It's also a great matte alternative to a lipstick I have with a satin finish in a similar colour from MAC's Archie's Girl Collection called Daddy's Little Girl. I think they're very similar at least.

 

 

Last but not least we have 'Seduction'. Seduction is actually one of the first colours I wanted from the seven available in the UK, but every time I went to buy it, it was sold out! With it being sold out in stores on more than one occasion I imagined it must be a great colour and couldn't wait to finally find one, which I did (and the last one) in Tesco. Seduction is a pinky-nude and on the lighter side of your nude lipsticks. When I first swatched it on my hand and I thought it would make a wonderful nude colour. I loved the shade and though it didn't look very opaque, I thought I could probably build up the colour. But when I first put it on I was so disappointed. Despite knowing it probably wouldn't be as opaque as the other three, I didn't feel it was very buildable and dried matte, it looks like I'm not wearing product at all as it is so close to my natural lip colour, which was a little let down for me. I know a lot of people like the nearly nude lip colour, but I prefer seeing a significant difference in my lip colour when I apply product personally. But upon reflection, this might be why I'm so disappointed by it and why it may not look very opaque on. Nevertheless I still feel so gutted because I was so excited by it and it didn't live up to the expectations I had for it. Either way, I'm trying to work with it and found it works well layers with devotion to create a more muted pink shade.

 

 

In conclusion, despite a couple of bumps in terms of colour and opacity I absolutely love these matte lip colours by Revlon. I love that they are almost all kiss-proof, they dry perfectly matte and their staying power is better than I expected. A great addition to my lipstick collection and I would love to grab the other 3 available in the UK to finish up my collection of them at some time. I really hope they bring out more colours here too, as I've seen they've got some amazing darker shades and red shades I'd love to try out.
