Anastasia Beverly Hills Matte Lipstick Soft Pink Review

Skin Tone: Medium to Dusky

Hello all,

Hope you are all doing great. Recently, I got mini matte lipstick set from Anastasia Beverly Hills and today, I am going to review the shade “Soft Pink” from their matte lipstick range. Let’s see how this one fared for me.

Price:
$18 for 3.5g

Product Description:
A full-pigment lip color with a smooth, ultra-matte finish. Use the highest point of the bullet to apply Anastasia Beverly Hills Matte Lipstick with precision.

My Experience with Anastasia Beverly Hills Matte Lipstick Soft Pink:

Packaging: This lipstick comes housed in a glamorous glossy black tube with a rose gold rim. The brands logo is engraved in rose gold on the cap and on the tube which looks classy. There is also an outer box with product details, but since I got a mini lipstick, I didn’t get that. The lipstick doesn’t have any color coding just like MAC lipsticks, which may be quite bothersome if we have more than one lipstick. The packaging is heavy and looks super sophisticated and chic.

Shade: The complete shade range of Anastasia’s matte lipstick collection is stunning, featuring lots of nudes to choose from, along with bold, bright, colorful and classic colors. They offer 30 shades and there is really a shade for everyone and every occasion. “Soft Pink” is described as a blushing pink and I would say that it is more of a cute baby pink. This shade will suit only light to medium skin tones and may wash deep complexions.

Formula: The formula of this is semi-creamy and I wouldn’t call it extremely smooth or creamy. The pigmentation of this is decent and it does offer good opacity covering any lip pigmentation when swiped twice or thrice on the lips. The lippie doesn’t seem patchy and applies well and settle on to a true powdery matte finish. The application of these lipsticks are a bit on the dry side and not like usual creamy matte bullet lipsticks in the market. They do tug away at the lips when applying, so it will take a few goes to get to the true color unless you really press down. I highly recommend exfoliating your lips before applying so it doesn’t stick to any dry patches. Even though the application is dry, they don’t actually feel drying on the lips during the day. They generally feel quite comfortable on the lips given that I have exfoliated first.

Staying Power: The lipstick lasts for a good 5 to 6 hours on the lips and they do fade off evenly and also leave a bit of a stain on the lips. These lipsticks aren’t completely transfer-proof which isn’t a concern for me, but they do come close. You might find a bit of transfer on your coffee cup, but nothing too drastic which is great.

Overall, these are decent matte lipsticks, which will be great if you are fed up of regular matte liquid lipsticks.
