There is nothing like a bold lipstick to really finish off a look is there? It’s just hot! And if I’m going to go bold, it’s usually with a bright pink of sorts because it just brightens my complexion overall. Feast your eyes on Kevyn Aucoin Matte Lip Color in Resilient. Resilient is a very bright fuschia that just glides on with ease. Talk about whoa on the lips!
Although I cannot usually wear matte lip colors because my lips dry out almost immediately, Kevin Aucoin managed to make a creamy matte formula that doesn’t suck the moisture out. It is even said to remove lip lines and wrinkles if used for 30 days straight. Quite a claim for a matte lipstick and not sure I could pull off wearing this for a month straight, but pretty cool accomplishment if it can do that. The formula is packed with emollient esters that lock moisture in and keep lips supple. Look at the picture below. Does that look dry at all to you? No!
The color pay out is phenomenal, and it takes only one stroke to get full color payout. I really, really love this lipstick and would love to test it out in some of the more muted shades like For Keeps (Medium Peach) and Enduring (Cool Nude). I am not one to reapply lipstick over and over through the day and this lasted me a few hours even through a cup of coffee.
The packaging is sleek and sturdy and has some weight to it making it feel luxe. And the cap closes tightly resisting the chance of slipping off in your purse and destroying it’s insides. At $33 bucks a pop I would hope for sturdy packaging and an amazing formula for a lipstick.
I haven’t tried any other products from Kevyn Aucoin but would be interested in checking out his foundation and blush brushes, those look super soft and I am in serious need of new brushes. I remember owning one of his makeup books, Making Faces, many, many years ago and admiring his work as a teen…wishing I could apply my own makeup so beautifully as the people displayed in the book. Ahh the artistry! Still working on that myself, haha.
