Ever Bilena Matte Liquid Lipstick Swatches: Must- try affordable matte liquid lipstick! + Youtube video

THE VERDICT:

Last year, Ever Bilena came out with a big range of matte liquid lipsticks, an answer to the rising liquid lipstick trend. There aren't a lot of good and affordable liquid lipsticks around, But Ever Bilena changed the game with Matte Liquid Lipstick. If you want your P195.00 to go a long way in makeup, you gotta try these!

Ever Bilena Matte Liquid Lipstick comes in 12 shades. I am no stranger to Ever Bilena's lipstick color range and I must say, they have come a long way with these! The shades are much better, more wearable, and come in trendy as well as classic shades. There's always a shade that someone will like in Ever Bilena Matte Liquid Lipstick Collection.

Product comes with a small doe foot applicator. Fits a variety of lip shapes. Gets into corners easily. Effective enough in evening out the product.

Texture is a soft cream with a vanilla floral fragrance. It dries up fairly quickly so even it out quickly too. Otherwise, you'd need a makeup remover to clean up the excess. Finish is in between flat matte and soft matte. It feels okay in general, but don't layer it on because it may feel heavy on the lips.

Here are the 12 swatches!

1. MAUVEY

- Peachy nude.

2. PINK FLAME

- Light brick pink

3. SEXY NUDE

- Warm rose.

4. TOAST OF NEW YORK (POPULAR!)

- Terra Cotta red.

5. VIVID VIOLET

- Midtone violet.

6. DUSK

- Deep rose with red undertone.

7. VAMP RED

- Berry red.

8. LOVE THAT RED

- Bright tomato red.

9. FIERCE RED

- Brick red.

10. FIERCE RED

- Bordeaux red.

11. ROUGE BERRY

- Deep berry with brown undertone.

12. SIENNAS

- Soft pink with rose undertone.

The lipsticks are indeed long- lasting; it will last long if you do nothing with your lips, but as with most lipsticks, it fades at the center of the lower lip after a meal and drink. Most would retouch liquid lipsticks without removing the previous layer; that's fine for some formulas, but for this one, it's best to remove all the current layer and apply a fresh one because it has a tendency to feel 'thick' when worn. My lips feels a wee bit dry with it, but it's fairly tolerable. For a smoother application, exfoliate and prep with lip balm before usage.

This is generally a good liquid lipstick: good color, nice texture, and good staying power. For P195, I can't complain too much! My favorites are Siennas, Dusk, Vamp Red, and Toast of New York. What's yours?
