Looking for a matte liquid lipstick that stays on and on and on and on? Head over to the Dose of Colors website and get yourself a few of their liquid matte lipsticks. Priced at $18, these are simply amazing!
I first heard of Dose of Colors last year when some popular international Youtubers were raving about them. The brand is the creation of Anna, a makeup artist based in the United States. Dose of Colors is a relatively new brand and they don’t have a lot of products yet. The focus is primarily on lip products and they have lipsticks, liquid lipsticks and lip glosses that are cruelty free, vegan, paraben free and gluten free. Recently, they have also come out with a few highlighters that are really pretty.
I was tempted to get a liquid lipstick once my friend Shikha said that she was placing an order. Dose of Colors ship worldwide but the shipping charges are quite high so its best to club orders. We went for First-Class Package International Service and paid $13.10 dollars for it. Surprisingly, the package reached Kolkata in just seven days! I went for the shade Merlot, a gorgeous blue based red that looks like it has a touch of fuchsia in the tube but is a bright red on the lips.
The packaging of the liquid lipstick is quite simple. I like the frosted semi-transparent case. Consistency is thin, applies smoothly and dries to a matte finish almost immediately. The best part of the lipstick is the rich pigmentation and the fact that it lasts all day long and does not feather or bleed. The color remains vibrant for nearly seven hours with slight fading thereafter. Initially, the lipstick does not feel dry on the lips but after 6-7 hours, the drying effect sets in and then I do need to apply a lip balm. I just wish the lipstick was not so difficult to remove! After trying out a couple of makeup removers, I found that coconut oil works for me the best. It removes the lipstick and the stain completely which the rest fail to get rid off.
I’ve used quite a few matte liquid lipsticks from a number of brands. When it comes to texture, I’ll still place the Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet Lipsticks on top of my list but when it comes to staying power, Dose of Colors will have to be number one. I’m so impressed with Merlot that I’ve gone ahead and placed an order for two more colors – Pinky Promise and Berry me 2. If liquid matte lipsticks are your thing, I strongly suggest the range from Dose of Colors.
