Lisa Eldridge Velvet Midnight & Velvet Myth True Velvet Lipsticks Reviews & Swatches

Velvet Midnight

Lisa Eldridge Velvet Midnight True Velvet Lipstick Colour ($32.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a deep burgundy with cooler undertones and a semi-matte finish. It had nearly opaque color coverage in a single, fluid stroke, though it seemed to struggle to adhere as strongly to the inner area of my lip compared to the rest of my lips.

The texture was smooth, very lightweight (to the point where I forgot I had it on), but it lacked the traditional slip of a creamier lipstick; instead, it was more velvety and silicone-like as it glided across my lips. It wore well for eight hours and was neither drying nor hydrating over time.

Formula Overview

$32.00/0.12 oz. - $266.67 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to be a "creamy, hydrating matte with a slight sheen" that is "long wearing and non drying." The three shades launched to-date are very pigmented with a lightly creamy, velvety texture that is thicker (but not heavy!) compared to the Insanely Saturated formula but has a similar velvety quality--smooth, glides on but doesn't feel wet or slippery at all.

The colors went on evenly and smoothly and were more flattering on (less prone to emphasizing lip texture or lip lines) than the average matte lipstick. They wear was between five and seven hours well, and they felt neither drying nor hydrating over time. There is no scent or taste to the formula.

Velvet Myth

Lisa Eldridge Velvet Myth True Velvet Lipstick Colour ($32.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a brighter, medium-dark plum with subtle, warm undertones and a semi-matte finish. It had nearly opaque pigmentation in one layer, which adhered evenly and smoothly on my lips. The texture was dense but velvety, so it glided easily across my lips without tugging but didn’t feel slippery or even “wet” as it went on. It stayed on nicely for seven hours and was non-drying while worn.
