This is a new release from Laura Mercier, it is described as a intense, creamy colorful liquid demi-matte lipstick.
This liquid lipstick comes in 10 shades but this shade Fuchsia Mauve just totally stood out to me, it is a purple based fuchsia. It is STUNNING.
I would quite like to get my hands on Petal Pink which is a lovely everyday pink, but I thought I would start off with one to see how I liked the formula.
I really like this, but I wouldn't say its perfect...
The pros- the colour selection is great, it is very comfortable to wear- it is never drying and the pigmentation is out of this world.
This is literally one swipe. No building up required, it is full on pigment from the get go.
It is easy to apply and I really like the applicator, in a way it reminds me a little bit of the Urban Decay concealer- it holds a nice amount of product and the wand is fairly flexible.
It is really quite easy to apply as well- there really are a lot of positives about this lipstick.
The negatives I have found is that it can get on my teeth, when I apply it I do layer it up slightly just so I feel like its neat, so maybe I am putting too much on, but it is quite slidey so it does transfer onto my teeth.
After it has settled down a bit after 10-15 mins, I'm generally okay, but I do have to do the whole 'finger in the mouth' trick several times to make sure I wipe it off the inside of my lips.
I think the issues I have do generally subside after about 15 mins, but I would just suggest being careful.
I wouldn't recommend quickly putting this on say, straight before a meeting, in case you're left a little messy...give it time to settle.
It can pool a bit around the corners of my mouth so I do use a cotton bud to dab off any excess- just be careful of these things, but again I may just be using to much.
I would suggest a lip liner (Urban Decay Venom works nicely) as the first time I wore it I noticed a little bit of bleeding...but weirdly not the second or third time..
This is demi-matte so it does retain a little bit of sheen, I reckon the lighter shades would be a lot easier to use, its always trickier going for a darker colour that's not totally matte.
Also note that this does transfer if you drink a coffee.
It's not going to end up all over your face, but you might need a touch up or get a clean mug.
Honestly I am not bashing this product- I am so glad I have it, it is comfortable and the colour is gorgeous, but I have to let you know all the pros and cons so you are well informed in case you were thinking about picking one up!
Once it has had time to settle on your lips, it does become a lot less high maintenance, but I wouldn't grab this last minute if I was in a hurry.
It lasts very well and is definitely up there with some of the comfiest liquid lipsticks I have ever tried and it is really nice to add a demi-matte LL to my collection.
I will one hundred percent pick up the pink shade, I think it will be less problematic due to it being a lighter colour.
Have any of you tried the Laura Mercier new liquid lipsticks?
