When I think of Clinique, I typically think of their amazing
skincare rather than their make-up line. So when my aunt regifted me this
lipstick, I was eager to try it out!
The packaging is quite pretty. It has random geometric
shapes and stripes in different shades of orange, white, and pink. The lipstick
itself is a dusky pink shade called “Matte Beauty”. It’s almost a Barbie pink
that looks just a bit pinker than my actual lips. It would look flattering on
just about everyone, but it seems more a spring and summer color than a winter
and autumn one. I think it’ll look especially nice with a tan, pink blush, and
shimmery eyeshadow!
“Matte Beauty” is, as the name suggests, a matte shade.
Matte lipsticks tend to be drying to before I apply it I always use a lip balm.
This lipstick covers very well and it almost looks like your natural lip shade.
It’s also very long lasting. After I swatched it on my hand for the photos, I
took a shower and scrubbed it with a loofah and I can still see where it was
before.
It feels very nice on the lips. The formula is creamy, for a
matte lipstick, and does give the “velvet finish” that the website says it
gives. It also doesn’t feel very heavy; I almost forget I’m wearing anything at
all! The only problem I have with this lipstick so far is that if you don’t
moisturize your lips before putting it on, it can settle into the lip lines.
Overall, I think this is a very wearable lipstick and shade,
and I think I’ll be reaching for it very often when spring comes around!
