This product lives up to its 'matte' name, though it's not as matte as I expected. (I usually use Etude's Dear My Enamel Lipstick.) Compared to my usual lipstick, it's more matte, but not as matte as MAC lipsticks, which I actually liked. MAC lipsticks are too matte for me and tend to emphasize dead skin cells on my lips. This one strikes a nice balance - not too moisturizing, but not overly matte either. It's just right, which I found surprisingly pleasant. Now, about the color! As I'm not a true autumn warm tone, the shade wasn't entirely to my liking. I typically go for a red-to-orange ratio of 8:2, but this color is more of a muted, dried rose shade that screams autumn. It took me by surprise at first. So, I applied a thin layer to tone it down, let it set, and then layered a darker shade on top to finish the look. Usually, I just apply one color and I'm done, but using this as a base made the overall color appear more polished. Oh, and I love the clean, simple design. I prefer this minimalist style over flashier packaging.
ConsIf I had to point out a downside... The main issue is that it's not my go-to color, so I don't reach for it often. It's perfect for those who love autumn warm tones but prefer subdued lip colors rather than vibrant ones. As I lean more towards summer cool tones, the color wasn't quite right for me. Other than that, I didn't notice any other drawbacks. It didn't even emphasize dead skin cells much!
TipI use this as a base lip color. Since my natural lip color is somewhat pigmented, I use this to tone it down. I don't have any special tips to share, unfortunately.
