Faces Minerals Lipcolor Passion Rose

So, I am back with another Faces product, this time with one of their ranges of lipsticks called the Minerals Lipcolor and the shade I would be reviewing for you all is Passion Rose.

Shelf Life:
3 years.

My Take on Faces Minerals Lipcolor Passion Rose:

Faces Cosmetics is an internationally-acclaimed cosmetics brand from Canada. This is my first lipstick from this brand and I am impressed with the quality and texture this lipcolor offers. This is a moisturizing, pigmented lipstick with a high-satin finish.

Shade:

Swatch Faces Minerals Lipcolor Passion Rose Review and Swatches

The color may look a bright mauve from the bullet shade, but applies as a beautiful pinkish mauve, a very flattering shade.  The shade is completely matte, devoid of any shimmer/glitter particles.  It is a bright color with a nice glossy finish that will look pretty both in day and night.

Texture:

The texture is quite creamy and glides on butter smooth on the lips. It’s quite moisturizing and does not require the need for you to apply a lip balm underneath. The lipcolor is quite pigmented and a single swipe adds a nice flush of shade on you. The satin finish provided by it eliminates the need for a lip gloss too.  Bleeding of color or settling in the fine lines is not an issue at all.

Fragrance:

The lipstick has a nice faint flowery scent associated with it which remains for some time after application.

Packaging:

The packaging consists of a thick matte plastic encasing that will not break easily by any negligent drop. I find the Faces logo on the cap very pretty. The bullet inside is also not prone to breakage simply by applying extra pressure. Overall, a simple yet sturdy packaging.

Staying Power:

Staying power is good too. A single swipe stays on for 4 hours easily after which it leaves a strong tint that stays on for another 3 hours or more. The color stays vibrant till you eat anything. It has quite survived a full meal on me, but yes, the satin finish sorts of fades away after a meal. It is transferable too but less as compared to other brand lipsticks I own. Overall, I find the 6-7 hours of staying capacity quite good; one just needs to do a light touch-up after a full meal.

Good Points of Faces Minerals Lipcolor Passion Rose:

  • Creamy, smooth texture.
  • Good opaque color in a single swipe.
  • Staying capacity of over 6 hours easily.
  • Hydrating formulation, eliminates the need for a lip balm.
  • The glossy, satin finish eliminates the need of applying a lip gloss too.
  • Survives light snacks easily, but fades away to leave a strong tint after a full meal.
  • Simple yet sturdy packaging.
  • Passion Rose is a flattering and unique dark pinkish mauve shade.
  • Color will not at all bleed or feather away, so you can avoid a lip liner too.
  • Has a light texture that does not settle in fine lines.

Not-So-Good Points about Faces Minerals Lipcolor Passion Rose:

  • Is transferrable.
  • Limited shades available.

Rating:

4/5 for the shade I own.

Do I Recommend/Will I Repurchase Faces Minerals Lipcolor #04 Passion Rose:

Yes, but for me, a different shade next time. I am head over heels in love with Faces Cosmetics right now, so in love with this color also and would recommend it to all who find it hard wearing a purple on their lips. This is a long staying, non – drying pretty pink mauve shade that will suit many.
