L'Oreal Paris Rouge Signature Ink Reviews

I got sent the shade 129 "I Lead" to trial. It's a pretty dark pink/nude colour. The packaging is pretty standard for a liquid lipstick. The applicator is flat, pointed and quite different from others I've seen. I found it easier to use than the standard doe foot applicator I'm used to.

It goes on pigmented and I didn't need to use much product for my whole lips. It's quite thick and creamy in texture. It didn't feel or look drying on my lips at all, and makes my lips look really good once applied. It doesn't dry down completely, but doesn't end up a mess all over my face. It does have quite a strong scent, kind of surgary? Not unpleasant, but something to note.

It doesn't last on my lips as long as I would like. After eating and over time it would fade and disappear. I didn't mind this so much as it's easy to reapply during the day and still feels hydrating on my lips after several applications. If I didn't reapply, though, it would be completely gone after a few hours.

I think $30 is a fair price. I might consider buying more shades if I didn't already own a ton of lipsticks lol.

This is such a good liquid lip formula! It provides bold colour but it feels lightweight and it doesn't dry out your lips! It feels quite moisturizing but the colour is still long-lasting. I also love the applicator on this product as well, as it makes it really easy to apply and you don't need a lip liner with this either.

This truly is a super light matte ink that doest feel sticky or clump in the lines of the lips. It feels like a lip stain but with a lot more pigmentation in it. Application is relatively easy and I was able to correct mistakes before it sets. The price is reasonable compared to other brand and the results for this lip ink is great compared to other ones I have used. After a couple of hours and eating the colour was slightly lighter, but I still liked the way it looked, I would recommend this and can't wait to try more shades in this!

Wow! That is the best word to describe this liquid lipstick. I have struggled for such a long time to find a product that was long lasting, but didn’t make my lips feel dry or heavy. This product 100% exceeds my expectations.

The liquid ink glides onto my lips smoothly and takes only seconds to dry. One application provides perfect coverage and the colours and matte finish are stunning. The product feels so light and natural that I often completely forget I am even wearing it. It absolutely delivers on the promise of the ‘ultimate bare-lip sensation’!

It is also super long lasting! I put it on in the morning, eat and drink normally throughout the day, and the colour is still perfectly in place in the evening! This is certainly one of the longest lasting lip colours I have found, and definitely the most natural feeling.

All of this in one product would be enough to sell it to me, but these are not even my favourite part of this product. My absolutely favourite part is the unique applicator for this liquid ink colour. It is the ultimate shape to perfectly apply my lip colour without having worry about lining my lips. Being a teardrop type shape, it perfectly and easily gets into the corners or my mouth, and around my cupids bow without smudging or going outside of my natural lip line.

I am absolutely in love and can not wait to purchase more colours in this range!

Number one - the colour I had wasn't what I would normally go for (dark brown), so I had to really "Try" to use this as much as I can. That being said, every coffee I finished, the lip colour was gone and I had to re-apply again and again and again. Whilst the formula is very light (yes you don't feel like you're wearing a lip colour), it is a bit cumbersome to apply the lip after every sip of coffee you have - at least for me it wasn't ideal.

I love liquid lipsticks, but I hate how drying they are. To compare, this lip product is lightweight but doesn't have the same long-lasting wear.

I have the colour 116 I Explore. It's a lovely maroon, mauve colour and I got a few compliments while wearing it. I love that I can apply it without a lip liner and that I can eat with it on, but I definitely have to eat carefully.

The shade wasn't right for me but the staying power is amazing. The liquid is light weight and not like other 'Matt' lippys in that it doesn't dry so much it starts cracking and flaking after 10 mins.

The look when dry is very good. It gives great coverage and the colour pigment is well distributed so minimal product can be used with excellent results, unlike more watery versions where layering to get even tone is required.

I struggle to remove most Matt liquid lipsticks with out intense scrubbing. I was surprised how easily my normal face wash removed it.

Fab product I would definitely recommend it!

Firstly the packaging for this lipstick is beautiful! The applicator makes it really easy to apply the lipstick evenly, and it allows you to outline your lips really easily.

The formula is very light and I couldn't really tell that I was wearing a lipstick when it was on, and it didn't dry out my lips either. I used a lip scrub and lip balm before I applied it and I had no issues. Since the formula is light, it was slightly more sheer than a typical liquid lipstick. However I just went over my lips a couple of times and it looked really nice.

This was a really nice, easy lipstick to use. They have a really nice range of colours to choose from, and the formula is really nice. I'll definitely be using mine again!!

I do struggle with matte products. I think it's my thin lips - there just isn't enough lip to keep the product on them. And when I've attempted over-lining I look like your crazy, over perfumed aunt. With dry, half on-half off, cracked matte lips.

I prepped my lips by using a lip scrub, a vat of lip balm and an invisible liner. And then I opened the tube for the first time. I was surprised by the applicator. It's a sort of sponge (but not really) and is really dainty. It's sort of a triangle and doesn't hold a ridiculous amount of product. No matter how much I try, I can't get a lot of product on the applicator, which means...I can't make a huge mess on my lips!

I found application smooth and easy. It's easy to clean a smudge with a cotton bud. I love the matte finish on this - it's not flat. It has life and texture to it.

The shade I was sent is I Rule - a mauvey-pinky-nude. It's the shade I've been looking for for a long time. I've tried a few that ended up too dark, too mauve, too pink, too light. This is just perfect.

I am in LOVE! L'Oreal - job well done.

The L'Oreal Signature Rouge is a great alternative to popular matte liquid lipsticks.

I find most liquid lipsticks very drying, and while long lasting, they don't wear evenly, leaving a patchy look after a few hours. This was, in a way, the opposite.

There's a slight sheen to the finish, so it's less flat and one-dimensional than other liquid lipsticks. I much prefer this finish, it looks less 'painted on'.

The applicator is one of the best I've used, it holds just the right amount of product and makes application easy without flooding or feathering.

It doesn't take too long to dry and 'set' in place. It lasted pretty well, maybe 4 hours before needing a touch up, but unlike other similar products, reapplication is smooth and even.

I will definitely be checking out other shades from the range!
