Speaking of wear….these have an interesting wear of at least six to eight hours if you can stomach wearing them that long. The dry down of the lipstick produces the feeling of applying a long wearing lipstick without applying the follow up gloss or lip balm to set the wear. At first application they feel hydrating enough but the longer I wear them the more I feel they are sucking moisture from my lips. On my normal lips, I felt they looked smooth and quite nice. Balm helps a little bit but there you’ll still see an unflattering finish. In the case of application on chapped lips I’d say it was a big no as the lipstick lays unnaturally, unevenly, and terribly unflattering on dry lips. My lips were chapped during some of my testing and were normal through the other part of my testing. You’ll likely experience migration and feathering on older lips with deep or finer lines. Exfoliate lips well prior to application as these will look very dry and uneven if your lips are flaky, dry, or older. They feel hydrating enough going on and don’t necessarily apply patchy or skip during application but you do need a smooth surface to work with. Pigmentation is excellent and a single swipe will yield excellent color coverage on lips. They swipe on with a hydrating feel but as they dry down they become a bit powdery in finish and have a silicone-y feel that wraps around lips. These have a slick application across lips. Revlon Ultimate Suede Lipsticks kinda sorta have the same texture as that old lip palette. You would apply the powder lipstick and slick on some of the balm to set it and give it a bit of shine. I dunno how old you are but you might remember some brand, could have been Revlon, that created these small lip palettes which contained a powder lipstick, a brush, and a Vaseline-like overcoat. I think “suede” can be a little misleading as it instantly makes me think “matte” but these are in fact semi-matte in finish in my opinion. They are formulated with Shea Butter, Aloe, and Vitamin E with the promise of lips being conditioned and hydrated through the wear. The fact they released these in such a huge array of shades definitely means they will be added to the general catalog and probably won’t be a limited run. Revlon Colorstay Ultimate Suede Lipstick ($7.99) is a newly launched lipstick from Revlon available in sixteen (possibly twenty) shades.
