Soft Blur Matte Lipstick, Velvety Semi-Sheer Buildable & Blendable Non-Drying Formula, Comfortable Wear, Vegan & Cruelty-Free - I'm Shy

I’ve become a fan of these lipsticks over the past year. If you aren’t familiar with this kind of lip product, it’s worth checking out if you like sheer, balmy feeling lipsticks with a matte, blurring finish. These feel substantial on your lips, like a waxy balm, but with a nice sheer coverage of color. They are matte but I don’t find them to be drying. I like that the color payoff can be built by adding another layer. Longevity is average, just about the same as a typical bullet lipstick. I now own three of these with the nude/bare shade being my most recent addition. I started off with Homecoming Queen, which is a more vibrant pink than the picture shows. It’s still sheer and doesn’t read “bright” on your lips. I then got I’m Shy, which is my favorite and is basically a nude rose shade that is very close to my lip color. The last one is called bare something I think, it’s a neutral nude shade that is a bit lighter than I’m Shy but honestly has a similar look on my lips. Overall, these are really great and the cost is fantastic.

Shade “I’m Shy” is a perfect MLBB (my lips but better). It’s my holy grail casual lip look! It has a powdery, velvety feel on the lips. It looks blurred and subtle with one swipe. With two or three it gets more vibrant and obvious that you’re wearing something. Matte without being drying but it’s not moisturizing. So if your lips are dry it’d be good to put on a chapstick before applying this. I’ve found that layering this on top of cherry Chapstick (the brand) or EOS chapstick blends perfectly well. I love this so much that it’s my daily wear. I bought a second one as a back up in case it gets discontinued. It wears nicely and lasts a good amount of time, but does come off if you eat greasy food. And I wouldn’t call it long wear. But it fades so evenly! No need to blot after applying. Very forgiving, and not messy except for one thing: it broke off near the base and fell out of the tube without having been dropped! All I did was I happened to turn it upside down while I was getting the cap to put it back on. Luckily it just fell into my lap and I was able to pop it right back in. I thought maybe it was a fluke but this also happened with my other shade, Homecoming Queen. So I am bummed about that, but the formula and price is so good that I don’t care.

Got homecoming Queen. I like the feel and the sheerness, feels like Glossiers Gen X lipstick, however the color was much more red than I was looking for - the color swatches looked more like jammy, berry, purply red but the actual color is more of a bright berry red with no purple

This is so beautiful and go's on like a dream

Wasn’t really what I expected
