Our features writer Fundiswa Nkwanyana reviews the REVLON Colorstay Ultimate Liquid Lipstick, and shares her thoughts.
My search for an everyday red lipstick that can stay intact after countless cups of coffee is finally over. I love that I could control the intensity of the colour with the number of coats I applied. For a day in the office, I only had to apply two coats. For a night out, I applied four coats to deepen the colour, making it bold and rich. This lipstick is perfect for both day and night application.
The soft brush absorbs just the right amount of liquid, leading to effortless application without continuously dipping in the tube. But, the lipstick would dry up within minutes of application. So, apply Vaseline Petroleum Jelly to moisturise your lips whenever this happens. A plus to this was that the dryness was subtle, resulting in a soft matte look. I advise using wet wipes or an oil-based product to remove the lipstick because it has a real colour stay attitude!
