I Tested the Lip Cream People Keep Calling a Filter. So You Don't Have To.
Half my feed is products doing more on camera than they do in real life. I expected the same here.
So I filmed it in window light, close enough for every bottom-lip line to show. The lines stayed real. The finish just looked softer.
I sent the clip to four friends in my group chat. No caption, no product name, nothing to react to except my face.
Three asked what I had done. The fourth asked which filter. That was the whole point of the test.
I watched the macro back without the sound, because that is where a soft matte usually tells on itself.
The color sat evenly through the natural movement of the mouth. It looked like lip color, not a dry layer.
I press my lips together when I am concentrating. Most mattes turn that into peeling at a dry edge later.
On a long call, I forgot it was there. There was no edge to find.
I had planned to take two shades home. I ordered the five-piece Summer Sale set instead.
With twelve shades live, I could build my five-piece set around a red, a rose, a nude and two wild cards. Buy 2, Get 3 Free made the choice easy.
