Pigmentation The color itself comes out from the lipstick. This means the pigmentation is extremely good. Without using any tools, the moment you apply the lipstick directly to your lips, the color immediately appears. 2. Fragrance It's moderate. As someone sensitive to fragrances, I would have preferred if there was no fragrance, but it wasn't significantly bothersome. 3. Longevity The fact that it wears off with food consumption is inevitable given the nature of lipstick as a product. There is also a bit of transfer. However, when I checked to reapply, it wasn't as messy as I had expected. Sometimes you see lipstick products where after they wear off, your lips are left looking dirty and splotchy. That's really unpleasant to look at. But that wasn't the case with this, which I really appreciated. 4. UV Protection Well, this is something that's obviously good to have, isn't it? 5. Matte Finish The matte finish is something that people may have different preferences on, but I personally like it. I dislike the glossy look so much that I almost never buy lip glosses. However, even though this is matte, it doesn't have that stuck-on-the-lips feeling that some products have, which I found quite pleasant.
Cons1. Slight Dryness This seems to be a case-by-case thing. With matte lipsticks, a certain degree of dryness is probably inevitable. If that's undesirable, using a lip balm or having that kind of foresight would be a good idea. 2. Tone I have very fair, pinkish-white skin, while my mom has more yellowish-white skin. When my mom applied it all over, it looked kind of like a fluorescent pink. When I applied it, it seemed to tone down a bit. This is something that needs to be adjusted based on one's own skin tone. Mixing it with other colors or doing a gradation application could be ways to address this.
TipIf the tone doesn't match my skin, I usually use these methods: First, I apply a color that suits my skin tone or a very light lipstick around the lip edges, and then in the inner center part, I apply a lipstick that is pretty but doesn't quite match my skin. Also, the way you use tools with lipsticks can make a big difference. Whether it's your fingers, a brush, or directly from the tube. My personal favorite is using a brush, because it makes adjusting the coverage and color easier, and allows for both full-lip and gradient application. If the product has weak pigmentation, it can be frustrating to build up with a brush, but that wasn't an issue with this one at all.

Overall, the case has a marble-like feel with rose gold accents, giving it a very luxurious impression. -The color is calm and sophisticated. It has a reddish tone with a hint of brown and orange, so it doesn't stand out too much or feel overwhelming. The Adele shade seems to suit warm-toned individuals. There is a slight white undertone, which can be a pro or a con depending on the user. -The texture is not too soft or too matte. If I had to categorize it, it's on the softer side, but it's not easily wiped off or feels sticky. It has a 'clings to the lips' kind of sensation. But since I've mostly used very soft products, I'd say the longevity is not bad compared to those super soft ones. -The water droplet-shaped cut makes it easy to apply a wide area and also emphasize the lip line.
Cons-My skin tone is one that tends to pull out the white undertones, so it doesn't suit me perfectly... While it's not overly white-toned, there is a subtle white undertone, so it may not be a universally flattering shade. In summary, the color itself is luxurious and pretty, but the white undertone creates a bit of an entry barrier. -It's on the softer side, but has a fairly thick and creamy application. At first, it glides on smoothly, then applies a bit thickly, so I had to wipe and pat it on again. It requires some effort to apply it neatly. It can easily look messy if you're not careful. -If I had to nitpick, it does have a noticeable weight to it. It feels more like something you'd keep in a makeup pouch rather than casually carry around in your pocket.
Tip-When I applied it with a lip brush, it went on much more neatly and didn't feel too thick. Using a lip brush can help offset the downsides and highlight the positives. -My mom, who has a warm and clear skin tone in shade 23, tried it on as well, and it suited her much better than it did on me. Those with similar skin tones may want to give it a try!
