The L'Oréal Paris Color Riche Intense Volume Matte Lipstick excels in delivering both striking color and lasting comfort. Its unique formula provides an immediate plumping sensation, making lips appear fuller without any irritation. The matte finish is surprisingly soft and non-drying, a common concern with many matte lipsticks, thanks to the infusion of Hyaluronic Acid.
When applied, the lipstick glides smoothly, and the slimline bullet design is genuinely helpful for achieving crisp edges, especially with a bold shade like '241 Coral Irreverent'. You'll notice its lightweight feel almost immediately, allowing for comfortable wear throughout the day. The 16-hour long-wear claim holds up well under normal conditions, resisting transfer from light sips and snacks. For heavy meals, a minor touch-up might be desired, but the core color generally remains intact.
This lipstick is perfect for creating a statement look, whether for a daytime event or an evening out. Its transfer-resistant nature makes it reliable for social occasions. For optimal impact, consider pairing with a lip liner in a matching or slightly darker shade to further define and enhance the lip shape.
Prep Your Lips: For the smoothest application and best results, ensure your lips are clean and exfoliated. You can gently exfoliate with a lip scrub or a soft toothbrush.
Hydrate (Optional): If your lips are particularly dry, apply a thin layer of lip balm and blot off any excess before applying lipstick.
Define (Optional): For extra precision and to prevent feathering, outline your lips with a lip liner that matches your chosen lipstick shade, '241 Coral Irreverent', or your natural lip color.
Apply Lipstick: Using the slimline bullet, start applying the lipstick from the center of your upper lip, following its natural curve towards the outer corners. Repeat on the lower lip.
Build Intensity: For more intense color and volume, apply a second layer.
Blot (Optional): Gently blot your lips with a tissue after the first application to set the color and remove any excess, then apply a second layer for maximum longevity.
This lipstick is generally compatible with most lip primers and liners. For best results, use products designed for matte finishes to maintain the intended look and feel.
Storage: Store your lipstick in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to maintain its integrity and prevent melting or drying out.
Cleaning: If the lipstick bullet gets smudged, gently wipe the excess with a clean tissue. Avoid exposing the product to excessive air to prevent it from drying out.
Hygiene: To ensure hygiene, avoid sharing your lipstick with others.
