Before I tell you what I think here are some photos of
Stellar to demonstrate its lasting power. I didn’t use a lip liner or blot
before I left the house. For some reason the colour looks really washed out, it's definitely brighter in real life and was still bright at 5pm.
Application - 12.30pm |
Update - 5pm |
After dinner - 8.30pm |
As you can see it lasted pretty well until I stuffed my face
with food for dinner, and even then I think if you ate in a more ladylike
manner you’d still have more on your lips at the end. Also most of the rest of my make-up had come off or settled into dry patches by then too. So for colour pay off
they’re amazing. The brighter colours attract a lot of attention; some slightly
creepy old men said “Hello love” when I walked past them today, but friends
have also commented too. As long as you have the confidence to pull them off
with a smile you’ll be fine.
There are a few downsides though. They are extremely messy
to apply if you’re not used to it. I can’t count the number of times I’ve had
to check I hadn’t dyed my teeth a different colour before leaving. The trick is
to remember a little goes a long way and to use a lip brush or the back of the
applicator to spread the colour. I did find my lips felt a little dry about an
hour after application but it wasn’t bad enough for me to put balm on top. But
if you had really dry lips then you may want to make sure they’re fully prepped
and be prepared to add balm if you need it.
Overall, I love these and I don’t think I’ll be stopping at
just the two colours.
