7 Reasons Why This Matte Doesn't Settle Into Lip Lines

I Went Looking For The Lines. They Were Softer.

1. I Went Looking For The Lines. They Were Softer.

I bought it because I thought the video was a lie. That was the whole reason.

One coat, visor mirror, Kroger lot on North High. I turned toward the window and looked for the two creases on my bottom lip.

They were still there. They just were not the first thing I saw.

2. The Tight, Dry Feeling Never Came

I quit matte lipstick in my forties. By ten, my mouth felt like paper.

This went on creamy, settled in seconds, and stayed soft.

I kept waiting for the tight feeling. It never came.

3. My Lipstick Stopped Finding Every Crease

Regular matte finds every crease. By lunch, those lines look darker than the rest of my lip.

This one stays on top of them. The soft finish lets the lines stay real without making them the whole story.

My mouth looks rested.

My Daughter Thought I Had Edited The Photo

4. My Daughter Thought I Had Edited The Photo

My daughter is twenty six. Every photo she posts has something done to it first.

At my sister's dinner, she zoomed in on my mouth and asked which filter I used. Then she pulled up an old photo to check.

I have never had my own daughter accuse me of editing my face before.

One coat looks like my own lips on a good day. A second goes deeper without feeling heavy.

5. I Pressed My Lips Together And Felt Nothing

The color was not what sold me.

I press my lips together when I concentrate. Over two hours, there was nothing to pick off my bottom lip.

There is a faint print by the second coffee, then one easy touch-up. My mouth never feels like it has lost half its color.

6. My Lip Liner Has Not Left The Drawer Since

I used to line, fill, blot, then redo the corners. The liner was always a shade off anyway.

The pointed tip traces the edge and fills the middle. One color, one step, out the door.

That is why I started wearing red again.

I Ordered A Second One Before I Finished The First

7. I Ordered A Second One Before I Finished The First

Renata has done my hair for eleven years. She saw it in the mirror, put down her comb, and asked what I was wearing.

Buy one, get one free, so I handed her the second tube. It went straight from my bag to her station.

I ordered again while the Summer Sale was still on.
