Beauty Care: Lisa Eldridge Velvet Blush Lightly & Velvet Intrigue True Velvet Lipsticks Reviews & Swatches

Velvet Blush Lightly

Lisa Eldridge Velvet Blush Lightly True Velvet Lipstick Colour ($36.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a medium-dark, warmer pink with a soft matte finish. The consistency was smooth, velvety, and lightweight, which helped it glide comfortably across my lips, but it wasn’t as forgiving as other shades with respect to lip lines and lip texture. It had mostly opaque, buildable color coverage that stayed on well for four and a half hours and felt lightly hydrating.

Formula Overview

$36.00/0.12 oz. - $300.00 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 Intrigue

Lisa Eldridge Velvet Intrigue True Velvet Lipstick Colour ($36.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a soft, medium pinky-peach with a soft matte texture. I found the lipstick to be a little thinner, slightly drier, though still having a velvety glide that made it comfortably to apply, but this resulted in a finish that emphasized lip texture and lip lines much more than other shades in the formula.

It had semi-opaque, buildable color coverage that felt a little clingier over time. This shade lasted for four hours but settled into my lip lines noticeably, and it was more non-drying than lightly hydrating like other shades. It is not uncommon, in my experience, that lighter mattes can be less forgiving compared to mid-tone and deeper hues in the same formula, though obviously one wishes for consistency and high performance across all shades!
