ARTDECO - Perfect Mat Lipstick in Berry Sorbet

Gone are the days when mat lipstick was preferable only in winters. Mat has become a favorite lipstick formula and an all-rounder. ARTDECO recently launched their Perfect Mat lipstick collection and considering I haven't talked about lippies for a while I wanted to share my experience with this new product. I am always ready for an excuse to pucker up, which I love.

ARTDECO sent me a shade to try out recently from their new Perfect Matt lipstick collection. I didn't have a very good experience with ARTDECO lipsticks in the past but that formula was not mat. Maybe this has more to offer?

The BRAND Claims:

"Artdeco introduces the new Perfect Mat Lipstick! Taking over summer with these pigmented colors and smooth application you can now conjure up an elegant finish with a matt effect to fall in love with. The lipstick is bound to leave a pleasant, soft and creamy feel while its long-lasting texture impresses with its extra-long durability."

My EXPERIENCE:

Well one thing is clear, this formula is definitely better than the ones I tried in the past.

- 12 different color options in Pakistan (18 internationally)

- Vanilla scented, for real. Smells yummy but please don't eat it

- Pigmented but also has a slightly light consistency and required more than one application for more opaque color but looked fine in the end

- Formula is creamy, not greasy

- Color pay off is satisfactory

- Doesn't bleed but still better to use a lip liner

- Long lasting and fades into a stain (which I prefer). Is good to go for 3 to 4 hours

- I sometimes apply just a little bit to stain my lips and love it

- Even though it is supposed to be mat I feel it is more velvety in texture and applies without drying your lips

- Dermatologically tested

ARTDECO - Berry Sorbet

This shade is supposed to be a bright plum berry with purplish-red undertones but it came out a little darker on me which I am totally fine with. Its not too dark though and can be easily worn in summers as well. Seasons never restricted me to any lip shade, I wear what I am in the mood for, yaas!

AVAILABILITY & COST:
Available online and in case of Pakistan this brand is easily available in all leading makeup stores. Retails at PKR.1,350/- with the potential of costing less to maintain value for money.
