As promised, I bought this Lusty Red lipstick from Ever Bilena's Matte collection just to give it a try. I wore it earlier this morning, while in the office so I've put a little face powder on my face and a mascara to compliment.
I must say that a red rich color lipstick is a statement itself. It is voluptuous and strong that you might not want to add more colors on your face anymore. So how do I feel about wearing this particular shade?
The LUSTY RED MATTE LIPSTICK.... Here's my take.
First, Lusty Red makes my lower lip looks fuller, pretty nice for someone who has an uneven lip shape like mine. Secondly, it doesn't gave me this dry, flakey feeling but rather a smooth touch on my lips. Thirdly, it does stay a little longer than I thought so I do not need to re-apply it from time to time.
I like it. However, I will not wear it on a daily basis. Another why?
Well basically because of the following reasons:
First, I expected red lipstick to enhance one's overall look. This shade though falls below my expectations. It doesn't flatter my morena skin (sad to say). Secondly, it stands on it's own more than I am (ha ha ha) for myself.. seriously! or should I say honestly.. Lastly, I am not young, I know, but wearing the shade made me look older (ha ha ha) than I am supposed to be.

My final verdict! Well. with my preferences and personality, I'd rather wear red lipstic on special or formal occasion.
So i'd still keep it... All good for now....
