Westman Atelier launched their first lipstick system referred to as the Lip Suede Matte Lipstick ($50 every) and I couldn’t have been extra excited to attempt them. They’re at present obtainable at Westman Atelier for an unique early launch. In accordance with their Instagram they are going to be launching at different retailers like Sephora and Nordstrom beginning the nineteenth of March.

The Lip Suede Matte Lipsticks are cased in a twist up shiny tube with a magnetic closure. The packaging is gorgeous however the magnetic function makes these troublesome to retailer subsequent to one another (similar as the problem I’ve with the Child Cheeks). Based mostly on a ballot I did most of you retailer these alternating (one proper aspect up, one the wrong way up, and so forth.) in the event you personal multiple shade.

I feel the packaging is gorgeous (magnet challenge apart) however I acquired dozens of messages from you in regards to the packaging being cumbersome and unflattering. I like the distinctive look however can see what number of discover it too huge. The ratio of product to packaging does appear extreme however I additionally see the way it matches in with the model aesthetic.

The Lip Suede Matte Lipstick system is a light-weight cushiony matte which feels extra like a satin. I like that it’s a comfortable matte. They’re easy and glide on flawlessly. On me they’re one swipe wonders though I give them a pair swipes backwards and forwards to cowl the whole lip evenly.

System is a traditional lipstick – I don’t discover it hydrating however I don’t discover them drying both. There’s a really comfortable scent to them, nearly vanilla-like and nearly crayon-like however I’ve to odor them actually carefully to detect the scent. On my lips I don’t discover something.

Lasting energy is okay. They keep put so long as I don’t contact my lips to something however they’re not switch proof. They do begin to look slightly dry on the lips after a number of hours because of the matte texture.

Under swatches of the 5 shades I hauled:

• Lacker is a light-weight muted peachy shade
• Pique is a taupe rose
• Minx is a vivid heat pink
• Je Reve is a fairly mauve rose
• Rue is a cool chestnut brown

Appears additionally carrying:

Total I’ve combined emotions. I like the colours apart from Rue which seems to be like dying on me. System is admittedly good for a matte however I nonetheless favor Pat McGrath, Lisa Eldridge or Charlotte Tilbury for his or her matte lipstick formulation by far. At $50 a pop I don’t know that I’d say they’re definitely worth the splurge. It appears extremely steep for what you get. That being mentioned it looks like the costs of all the things have gone as much as insane ranges. I do like these much more than the Hourglass mattes I reviewed just a few weeks in the past however I don’t assume I’d name these a must have.

Should you’re interested by these and like matte lipsticks I’d say possibly wait till the Sephora financial savings occasion which is able to carry the value level down in the event you’re a Magnificence Insider.

Out there now at Westman Atelier. Launching at Nordstrom, Sephora and so forth. beginning mid March.
