Beauty Care: Vieve Muse & Vieve Modern Matte Lipsticks Reviews & Swatches

Muse

Vieve Muse Modern Matte Lipstick ($26.50 for 0.1 oz.) is a deep red with strong, cool undertones and a semi-matte finish. The texture was slightly firmer in the tube, but it had good glide without being heavy or overly thin when applied. It had rich pigmentation that adhered evenly to my lips and didn’t emphasize my lip texture or my lip lines. It stayed on nicely for six hours, left a stain behind, and was lightly hydrating.

Formula Overview

$26.50/0.1 oz. - $265.00 Per Ounce

The lipstick is supposed to be "creamy, comfortable, and powerfully pigmented" while being hydrating over time. They were semi-opaque to opaque in color coverage, while the texture felt slightly firm, thin (but not clingy), and had more glide than I would have expected based on the initial feel of the bullet against my lips.

What was most surprising was that they applied evenly for the most part (and the range of hues runs lighter), and they were fairly forgiving of lip texture (but a few settled into my lip lines a bit), and did seem like a "modern matte" yet wasn't heavy on the silicones in feel like a lot of current matte formulas are. The shades lasted between four and six hours on me and felt lightly hydrating over time.

Vieve

Vieve Vieve Modern Matte Lipstick ($26.50 for 0.1 oz.) is a medium peach with warmer, yellowy undertones and a semi-matte finish. It had opaque color coverage, and for as light of a hue as it was, the product applied fairly evenly and had very minimal settling into my lip lines.

The texture was lightweight, slightly thin but not clingy, and had enough glide not to tug during application. It wore well for three hours and felt non-drying.
