Complete lip swatches of the 8 new Revlon Ultra Matte HD Lipcolors
How can you tell that a lipstick line sold well and is actually worth purchasing? Easy. If it has new shades added onto it without a formula change, then you know it's something special! Nothing speaks louder than consumers' wallets. For a brand to keep re-investing in a product line, it has to be something that we want more of. That's why I'm happy that Revlon recently came out with eight more shades of their best-selling Ultra Matte HD Lipcolor (P575)!
I reviewed this line previously and liked how it doesn't set into a hard flaky layer after a few minutes. The Ultra Matte HD keeps its creme texture for hours, keeping my lips from drying out. Now it has a demi-matte finish and might not be as long-wearing as the liquid lipsticks we're used to, but I prefer something like this for everyday wear. I like matte liquid lippies, don't get me wrong - I just don't wear them all the time as they can be drying.
Expect these to wear for three to four hours, longer if you apply a lip liner first. Here are my swatches of the new shades available in the PH + my color notes!
Embrace, Forever, and Kisses might look similar in the photos, but they're way different in person. Embrace is a petal pink that would look great as a nude color for fairer skin tones. Forever contains a bit more brown, while Kisses has a more reddish pink tone to it. Forever would be a good node for medium skin like mine while Kisses is the perfect MLBB.
Happy to report that these shades are not streaky, and are opaque in two layers.
Spark, Intensity, and Crush are three more shades in the same color family. Spark is a cool, bluish pink while Intensity is a warmer, redder pink. Crush is a cute cool lavender. It doesn't work for my medium yellow skin but it should look nice for cooler, fairer faces.
Romance is a classic bright red while Infatuation is a deep browny red. I love Romance as it reminds me of the lip color of this character in a K-drama I've been watching recently haha. Infatuation is pretty as well, but quite streaky. It's best worn on top of a lip liner.
Overall, I'm happy with the pigmentation and wear of most of these new colors and would recommend them to anyone who's looking for a cushy demi-matte lipstick. I love how comfy and non-drying they are. Try Kisses, Intensity, and Romance! These are lovely shades that would integrate into your lipstick wardrobe well.
Revlon is available in department stores and drugstores.
