Lime Crime Velvetines Liquid Matte Black Lipstick, Black Velvet - Bold, Long Lasting Shades & Lip Lining - Stellar Color & High Comfort for All-Day Wear - Talc-Free & Paraben-Free

Color - I ordered the color Pumpkin and I immediately regretted it and tried to cancel the order because as an extremely white, warm-toned girl, I thought it would look horrible. But then once I tried it on, I realized that it's actually an amazing color! Surprisingly enough, it looks exactly like the picture. I would suggest this for people only with warm-toned skin, not cool, though it might look fine with neutral, I'm not sure. I wouldn't think so. I also think that it would work with any skin color except extremely dark. The color isn't really a pumpkin color. It's a dark, brick-toned orange that my friends said didn't resemble a carrot or pumpkin in the slightest.Application - I use a brush for application because I found the applicator difficult to use. A very small concealer brush or even a circular eyeliner brush will work. I outlined my top lip and then filled it in with the applicator itself, making a very precise application. The bottom lip I did use the applicator for the middle part of the lip and then used the brush to connect it to my top lip. None of this is necessary if you're very precise or advanced with liquid lipstick application, but I find it very useful otherwise. It was very smooth, but it can look a little bit streaky if you don't quickly put it on, because it gets darker the more layers you put on. Overall, once it's perfect, it looks wonderful, but I found that it took some practice in making everything even-toned and pretty.Consistency - I already said that it was very smooth, but once it dries, it dries completely down and at first is sort of drying feeling and after a couple hours it feels rather powdery and even sort of comes off slightly if you kiss your hand. After that, though, somehow it just felt like my lips and stuck on perfectly.Wear Time - I put on the lipstick at 5 o'clock in the morning and had to take it off at 11 because even after a shower, it didn't come off. For 6 hours it was perfectly on with absolutely no problem and I'm sure it would have lasted longer, I'll have to update after I use it again for longer, but this isn't a color that I would use every day. The only problem was that it wore away on the very inside of my lips, but you could barely tell when I was talking and other than that, there was no wearing away at all.

I have been wearing the exact same NARS lipstick in madere (it's basically concealer colored) for as long as I can remember. I always buy different lipsticks but I always end up hating them and going back to my go to. Until now. LimeCrime Cashmere is my new go to and will be for a long time to come. I always wear a nude lip, and this color is light enough, but still gives me some definition. As some other reviewers have said, I'm more of a dark eye rather than a dark lip girl, and this is perfect for that. It's a little more grey than I expected, but I still love it. And I'm not sure if it's just me, but I swear it makes my teeth look significantly whiter. So now let's talk about the fact that it stays on FOREVER (as far as lipsticks go). I do need to reapply after eating, but most times just on my inner lips. Reapplying too often will cause some thickness and I think causes what some reviewers have described as "cracking", so keep it to one light coat to start, and only reapply in the spots where it has faded. If some is gone and some is still there don't put more on top of what's left and you should be good :) And it is kind of liquidy, so make sure to wipe off all excess from the applicator, first. I have never had a lipstick that lasts this long. I haven't had to use a lip liner, no problems with smearing or bleeding, but you do have to be very precise when applying (no slapping this on while you're driving). I love it so much that I just ordered bleached and 2 moods. Can't wait until I get them!

Love how this lip color stands out so bright and classy will definitely buy again long lasting!

First off: I love lime crimes lipstick line. They consistently make some of my favorite shades of lipstick and I have always been thrilled with the staying power. I'm not sure if these tubes were a bit older, or suffered from prolonged exposure to intense heat, but they dont last nearly as long as some of the other lippies I've got from lime crime. Both wicked and Luna flake something fierce after just a few hours of wear, and I have to apply several coats to get the coverage I generally expect from this bran, and even then I've gotta be quick to make sure it blends because this stuff dries FAST. I keep losing the bloodmoon that came with the pack so I can't speak to that one. My previous (stand alone) would last for hours.In reality I would probably rate this 3.5 stars, but I rounded up because I do love me some lime crime lippies.

I have Velvetines in several shades, and they are all pretty perfect. They stay put through the pretty much a whole day until you eat a meal. Then a quick touch up and you are good for the rest of the day. I have Riot, Pink Velvet, Buffy, and Wicked. I don't find any of them uncomfortable or drying after full days of wear at work as a barista. I have found that Wicked will move and feather a bit if I work up a sweat and pills up a little if I eat an oily lunch or have some heavy coffee, but it is striking and I receive tons of compliments when I wear it; I combat the feather by putting a bit of powder foundation around my lips rather than using lipliner. Buffy looks better in some lights than others- it is the closest to a "true neutral," I have ever found in cosmetics and is about one shade darker than my actual lip color. Riot is a great everyday red for me. It stays on through pretty much anything and doesn't feather.Pink Velvet is wild and great. It was my first tube of velvetines, and after trying other matte lipsticks and liquid lips, I decided these were best for me based on my experience spending 9 hour days making coffee in Pink Velvet, with the lipstick staying set the whole time.They all smell like vanilla cake batter until they set. Buffy sets the fastest of the four I have, but even the longest wait is only about a minute. All of the four I have look great with a single thin coat, though I like to do two with Wicked and Pink Velvet for extra opacity. I highly recommend them and want several more shades.

Would definitely order from this company again!

This lipstick stains your lips and is very durable. I would suggest that if you were to apply this that you put on som lip balm before hand as the formula is quite drying. The product is great and doesn't smell bad.

Huele increíble, el rojo es perfecto precioso y fácil de aplicar.

Rouge magnifique qui ne laisse pas de traces et qui dure toute la journée ! Mais attention il est petit (2,6mL)

Supongo que no es original, aunque el color es bonito deja los labios extremadamente secos, se cuartean aún cuando cuando los tengas hidratados. Y no dura
