I still found that I can’t drink from a bottle or cup while it is still on the wet side which can last for about an hour and a half. Postscript: I tried wearing Fiona Stiles Ultrasuede with Urban Decay Ozone Lipliner and the waxy universal lip pencil did the trick in terms of stopping feathering or bleeding during normal wear. The Tarteist Lipliner is fine, and the shade Latergram is a pretty nude shade.

But if you’re looking for a low maintenance liquid lipstick, this isn’t it. I’m keeping and wearing Lenox because I love the non-drying formula, and I especially love the color. I recommend it if you don’t mind fussing a bit. A lighter version of the shade was still on my lips about 6-8 hours after I first applied it and after eating.ĭo I recommend Fiona Stiles Ultrasuede Lip Color? I wish I could recommend it without reservation, but I cannot. But I still love the color, and it is a semi-long-wear liquid lipstick, leaving behind a lot of color as it fades. I’ve been drinking water from a glass, and unless you wait about a half hour till it dries completely, the lipstick comes off on the glass. Not too long after I applied the liner and liquid lipstick, I noticed a little bleeding at the tips of my cupid’s bow. Today, I’m at home and I decided to try Lenox again, paired with Tarteist Latergram, the closest match I’ve got – I probably should’ve used Milani’s Anti-Feathering universal lipliner, but that’ll be tomorrow’s experiment. Yesterday, I wore a different, regular bullet lipstick to the beach. I did what I was supposed to do, but it still didn’t stay put. Same thing as the day before, I grabbed a bottle of water, drank half of it, and my cousin again pointed out that my lipstick was feathering. Next day, I wore the same lipstick back to the beach, but this time I paired it with Tarteist Lipliner in Latergram, a deluxe sample that I received in my May Sephora Play bag.Īlthough the shade was not the exact match for the Fiona Stiles Ultrasuede in Lenox that I thought it was going to be, it wasn’t awful, almost close enough (and on its own, it’s really pretty). I resolved that this liquid lipstick must be worn with a lipliner, but then I knew that even before I decided to skip it. My cousin Gordon kindly pointed out to me that my lipstick bled: both the upper and bottom lip. It was hot at the beach and I was thirsty so I drank a bottle of water. Also, you can see that I didn’t exfoliate my lips first.

I decided to do the torture test – skip the lipliner. So I thought I’d test it out immediately. Seemed like the perfect hybrid formula in the perfect shade for me. I tried a swipe of the lipstick on my arm and I was sold: opaque, highly pigmented color that dried down somewhat but not completely matte but left a nice glossy look. I found a shade that I adored, Lenox, a peachy dusty rose neutral shade. So I wandered over to the Fiona Stiles section and checked out her liquid lipsticks called Ultrasuede High Intensity Lip Color.ĭescribed as “mattine” (matte satin, ya think?), I thought the formula might work for my dry lips. Unfortunately, none of the shades really suited me. I can’t wear matte liquid lipstick so I looked at the Anastasia glosses. I’ve heard great things about Anastasia Liquid Lipstick, so I thought I’d buy one. I’m nearing the end of my tried-and-true Urban Decay Anti-aging Eye Primer, so I picked up another tube. I needed to buy a gift for a friend, and far be it for me to not take advantage of a beauty sale to replace a staple and/or try something new. Ulta Beauty emailed me a 20% off coupon last week that was good for most prestige brands and products.
