L’Oréal Paris Makeup Rouge Signature Matte Lip Stain, Admired

I love this formula. Most matte lip products either dry my lips out or feel so oily they slide right off—but L’Oréal really nailed the balance with this one. It goes on smoothly, feels light and comfortable, and stays put for hours. The shade I Lead is beautiful—warm without leaning too orange or too red. It’s become my go-to for an everyday polished look.

This is a beautiful lip stain that glides on easily and is smudge resistant once it dries. But be careful while applying because it will stain skin or clothing and doesn't wash off easily. Stays on all day. I typically apply a gloss to soften the look. Didn't notice a taste or smell. Good quality item and good amount/size.

I love how lightweight this formula feels—it’s almost like nothing is on your lips. The color payoff is gorgeous and dries down matte without feeling cakey. It does fade after eating, so you’ll need to reapply, but the comfort and shade range make it a favorite for everyday wear.

I bought the color "I Rule" bc I have fair skin tone and use minimal make up. First impression when I applied the product onto my lips, I was disappointed the color does not match the description. Also as I was applying it, I notice how very wet it was so I thought it was misadvertised as "matte". I almost threw it away since it was a non-returnable item but got busy in the morning preparing breakfast. When I went back to the bathroom to reapply my make up, I was pleasantly surprised! The nude color dried up and became a slight peach tone giving my lips the natural color I've been seeking. It didn't make my lips overly dry where it was cracking and there was no bleeding around my lips so I didn't have to use a lip liner. I am soooooo impressed with this product that I'm stocking up. Now my morning make up routine involves using this product then dab quickly with a kleenex to set the color pigmentation on my lips. It is not 100% non-transferable but does a good enough job that by the time I sit down to have my morning coffee my cup isn't stained with a lip print. Best of all, it lasts almost the entire day without having me reapply till later.

The product appeared new and was sealed, but it was not in L’Oreal packaging. It was in generic packaging like you sometimes see at the dollar tree. The lipstick itself is great, soft, moisturizing and pigmented.

I love this lipstick, and I hope L'Oreal doesn't discontinue it. They already have discontinued one of my favorite colors. But this is my daily lipstick. It goes on liquid, and does not cake or get flakey. It lasts for a long time...even if eating some of it stays on. I recommend it. No unsightly taste either, and if you let it dry, it doesn't tend to get on your teeth.

As someone born with a pale, colorless mouth that blends seamlessly into my face, finding a lip product with enough pigment to make my lips pop has been impossible - until L’Oreal’s Rouge Signature Matte Lip Stain entered the chat! Just one sweep of these richly-hued stains across my Casper the Friendly Ghost lips is all takes for my mouth to go from drab to fab. No more floating facial feature - I’ve got bold berry lips now, baby! Take that, blah boring beige. The intense matte pigment makes my naturally nonexistent lips finally resemble actual lively facial features. Paired with the plumping shine serum, I look instantly ready for a glamorous close-up! You talking to me? Yes, you are! I have lips now! So fellow pale profilers, rejoice! This gorgeous, vivid lip stain brings our lifeless lips the color they deserve. Pucker up - it’s our time to shine! Out of the shadows and into the spotlight.

Shade: I ENJOY It applies like a watery lip stain. The first coat was the way stains typically look on me. A pigmented wash of color that allows a little of my own natural lip tone to peek through. I wanted a finish that was more opaque so I layered a second coat on and I achieved the desired color intensity I was looking for. TIP: Allow product to dry between layers. Drying time increases with each additional layer of color. The lipstick does not dry immediately so if you get a lil messy at the corners or edges, you can take a cotton swab or tissue and fix it. To be honest, since this formula feels like water going on your lips I was worried it would dry my lips out. To my surprise, I forgot I was wearing lipstick. This is weightless on the lips. It did not leave my lips feeling dry. Now, I drank water, soda, orange juice, more water, etc.,. I ate an oily dish and even wiped my mouth with a tissue to remove food particles. I did not retouch my lips after the initial application. The end result is there was color intensity loss. It ended up looking like an old school lip stain. I find that acceptable because it still looked attractive. There was no crumbling, no dryness, just made my lips look like I was wearing a lip stain at the end of the day.
