Lisa Eldridge Velvet Muse & Velvet Beauty True Velvet Lipsticks Reviews & Swatches

Velvet Muse

Lisa Eldridge Velvet Muse True Velvet Lipstick Colour ($32.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a dusty, medium coral with warm undertones and a semi-matte finish. It had nearly opaque pigmentation in a single layer, which adhered evenly to my lips. The texture was lightweight, smooth, and velvety–dense and slid easily across my lips but didn’t feel traditionally creamy or emollient. There was a touch of product that sank into my deeper lip lines, which was apparent in the close-up photo but not in person. It lasted well for five hours and felt a touch 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 Beauty

Lisa Eldridge Velvet Beauty True Velvet Lipstick Colour ($32.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a muted, medium-dark pink with subtle, warm undertones and a soft, matte finish. It had rich color coverage that applied in a single, fluid stroke without tugging or dragging on my lips.

The texture was velvety, creamy without feeling slick or wet, and was very lightweight despite having a denser feel as it went on (initially). The color applied evenly, and I had a smidgen of product in my deeper lip lines, but it wasn’t enough to be noticeable in person. It wore well for five and a half hours and was neither drying nor hydrating.
