The editorial staff of Woman’s Day admires the new color of the season and tests the lipsticks of the most fashionable shade – Marsala.
M.A.C, Ultimate, The Scene, 1500 рублей
Vasilisa Naumenko, beauty editor:
– A professional brand won my heart many years ago. I don’t know of a single beautician or makeup artist who doesn’t have a MAC in their makeup bag. And not because it is a well-known brand. She has earned trust because of the quality and durability of the products, as well as rich and juicy shades.
Opportunity: a rich shade coincides with the most fashionable color of the season – Marsala. Rich texture and moisturizing effect.
Reality: lipstick in an elegant glossy case lays flat on the lips, moisturizing them. The shade dries up in just a few minutes, but does not dry out the skin. With active use with a lunch break, the durability lasted for 5 hours, and only after the meal I straightened my lipstick. The only negative is that with an awkward movement, the shade can be smeared, but there is also a plus: the lipstick moisturizes and in no case dries the skin. I believe MAC, Ultimate, The Scene are the best investment in the trendiest color of the season.
Make Up Store, Vamp, about 1000 rubles
Olga Frolova, build editor:
– Make Up Store is another professional brand, this time from Sweden, originally created for makeup artists, but loved not only by them. I tried their lipstick in a shade with the provocative name Vamp.
Opportunity: on the stick the color looks a deep reddish brown, but on the lips it is an honest dark red. If you paint only the inside of the lips, it will look as if you really just drank someone’s blood, like Tilda Swinton in Jarmusch’s Lovers.
Reality: the stick has a slightly pointed shape, so it was convenient for me to apply lipstick even without a pencil. The lipstick is stated as matte, but on the lips it gives a rather pleasant satin finish. The properties of the lipstick surprised me.
On the one hand, it is shamelessly imprinted on cups, cutlery and even the food you eat. But at the same time, it comes off the lips extremely neatly: it is slightly erased in the middle, does not smear and does not creep beyond the contour of the lips. It took about 5 hours before I needed to update it. In the evening, I easily washed it off with micellar water, after which I didn’t even need to apply a balm, my lips felt comfortable.
Chanel, Rouge Coco Ultra Hydrating Lip Color, 408, 2395 rubles
Yulia Gaponova, managing editor:
– I have been familiar with the products of the Chanel brand for a long time and I constantly use the decorative cosmetics of this brand. Therefore, when I came across a new product – Rouge Coco Ultra Hydrating Lip Color, and even in an interesting color Marsala (shade 408), I was extremely happy, because I just love these shades.
Opportunity: the texture of the product is very light, almost weightless, the lipstick lays down in a thin layer, but the color appears quite brightly. For example, one application was enough for me to get a rich color on the lips.
Reality: the novelty is in an elegant black lacquer case with golden details and the usual Chanel embossing. The case is quite comfortable, it closes tightly, the lipstick does not spread and does not smear the walls. At the same time, there is a light, barely perceptible perfume smell, which absolutely does not bother, but even vice versa.
Another plus: the lipstick does not clog into folds, does not dry the lips and holds the contour perfectly, and its formula is supplemented with micro-particles of silicone, which provide durability, bright shine and an instant feeling of comfort.
Another great bonus – the lipstick is quite persistent, and when it “leaves” the lips, it does it very elegantly, leaving no residue. For me, for example, the product lasted for about 5 hours on my lips, and even withstood lunch and several cups of coffee. In any case, for texture, care and durability, I would give this product a solid five and, of course, I will continue to use it. Now I’m thinking about purchasing a brighter, spring shade Chanel Rouge Coco.
L’OREAL Paris, Color Riche, 500 rubles
Olga Turbina, editor of the section “Sex and Relationships”:
– The lipstick is in a beautiful gold case that looks stylish and expensive. The manufacturer promises: lipstick nourishes, softens, moisturizes and protects lips, while giving them a bright, rich color and exquisite shine. Vitamin E makes them wonderfully delicate and sensual, and the smallest reflective particles create the effect of unusually smooth lips.
Shade: nThe rich color is easy to apply, does not spread or smudges all day long.
Reality: according to my impressions, I can say that the lipstick is applied in a thick layer. Does not wrinkle or accentuate dry lips. The application is just perfect. Incredibly soft and creamy texture. Very beautiful and rich color, good durability, up to three hours. The skin of the lips does not dry out at all, but, on the contrary, moisturizes it; pleasant, almost imperceptible aroma.
Perhaps now it will be my favorite lipstick. The quality is even higher than the price. Girls, I recommend!
Shiseido, Veiled Rouge, 1780 rubles
Victoria De, Deputy Chief Editor:
– The Shiseido company, in my opinion, needs no introduction. Founded back in 1872 by a Japanese pharmacist, she managed to earn an excellent reputation. As for me, I have already managed to join the ranks of fans of this cosmetic brand. I really like skin care products. Lipsticks? I admit honestly: I didn’t try lipsticks, that’s why I started testing with pleasure.
Opportunity: Mischief. I suppose that the name was stolen from the Little Mischief roses, the petals of which, depending on the light and the intensity of the sunlight, acquire different shades: from pale pink to deep purple. True, when you see lipstick in a tube, there is no doubt: an intense burgundy with a slight shimmer, or, as they say, Marsala …
Reality: surprisingly, the shade of lipstick on the lips was the same as in the tube. But in the sunlight, a pleasant surprise awaited me: a smile flickered! ..
In addition, the lipstick turned out to be surprisingly delicate and pleasant in texture. The product, due to its special composition, moisturizes the skin of the lips, while creating a lasting protection against aggressive environments.
