My Experience with MUA Fawn Fancy Matte Lipstick:

The lipstick is packaged in a white cylindrical case, on which name of the brand is written in silver. These lipsticks are color coded. For easy identification of the shade, a tiny transparent tube on the cap that contains the color of the lipstick is present. The lipstick case is not very travel friendly as it is likely to open in your purse.

“Fawn Fancy” is a mauvish n*de shade. The shade is a nice n*de one, but nothing uncommon. It is an extremely wearable shade for all occasions. Unfortunately, it will not suit all skin tones. It has a mild vanilla fragrance that vanishes quickly.

MUA matte lipstick in “Fawn Fancy” is actually matte. It is a true matte finish lipstick, no two opinions about it. On the arm, the lipstick swatches fairly easily, but it drags slightly on the lips. It is drying and a lip balm underneath is a must. It doesn’t feel heavy on the lips. Unfortunately, with its true matte formula, it clings to the dry patches on the lips. Thus exfoliation is a must prior to its application. It does not bleed but transfers a bit.

Now comes the worst part of the lipstick, its pigmentation. The pigmentation of this lipstick is terrible. It is almost sheer. On the lips, it was like I was dragging this on and on to get the colour, but still it was not showing up. Furthermore, as you layer the lipstick to build up colour, it starts getting patchy and results in uneven application which has to be smoothed out using the fingers. Frankly, this is unacceptable to me in a lipstick.

The lipstick has average staying power. It stayed on my lips for 1.5-2 hours with light meals in between after swiping on layers and layers to get some coverage. It faded leaving a light tint behind.
