This is one of the best long lasting lip colours I have used. I applied like a lip liner then filled in using the side angle of the crayon, and it gave a nice even coverage without being thick and greasy. The colour lasted most of the day even after several cups of coffee and eating lunch, without the need to keep reapplying or checking my teeth for transfer. I liked the sharpener in the end, but ended up using the tip of my nail to make a new point to line the colour, as I hate waste and the sharpener does take off at least another application each time you use it. Having a good secure lid was also a plus, as it doesn’t come loose in the bottom of my handbag, and was easy to find grabbing around blindly due to the shape being bigger than a pen like some of the other long lasting products I have that are similar. It doesn’t have any funny taste or aroma, and isn’t tacky or overly sticky, so long hair doesn’t get caught up in it like alternatives that have a two step system.
I will definitely purchase this in another colour.
Unfortunately this was the totally wrong colour for my complexion (an orange base) but I used it a couple of times at home and was pleasantly surprised. It goes on nice and smoothly and does last, but not as long as it says. Anything that lasts longer than half an hour is a bonus, this lasted a couple of hours.
There was no packaging on this, just the Ink Crayon but the shape and colour make it stand out.
If I can find the right colour for me then I will buy.
