ColourPop Prim Ultra Satin Lip Review

Skin Tone: Light to Medium with warm undertones
Skin Type: Combination

Hi Everyone,

ColourPop launched their ultra-satin lipsticks this year. These lipsticks are a good alternative to their ultra-matte liquid lipsticks. I am obsessed with dark lip shades since we have the winter season coming up. Today, I will be reviewing the shade “Prim.” So, let’s see how this lipstick fared.

A dark blackened red, we volunteer this shade as tribute!

How To Use:
Start by prepping the lips with Lippie Primer to moisturize and improve the lips texture. This will provide a smooth surface so that your Ultra Satin Lip goes on smoothly and lasts all day! Next, line with Lippie Pencil to perfect the lip line and fill lips in with Ultra Satin Lip.

My Experience with ColourPop Prim Ultra Satin Lip:

When ColourPop released this new range of liquid lipsticks, I was super excited. I really like their ultra-mattes, however, they tend to feel a bit dry. If you have wanted to try liquid lipsticks but you where apprehensive of the dryness, then this is your best bet. ColourPop as always has a wide range of colour selection in this range too.

Packaging: The packaging is pretty standard clear tube with holographic writing on the side – ColourPop Ultra Satin. The bottom of the tube specifies the name “Prim.” The tube has a silver cap. The applicator is a standard doe foot applicator. The product comes in a white cardboard box with the name of the product and the ingredients list.

Texture and Application: The texture of this liquid lipstick is bit mousse-y, lightweight and liquid-y. The main difference between ultra-matte and ultra-satin is that the ultra-satin ones don’t dry completely matte. It dries velvety matte within a few minutes once applied on the lips, so if there are any errors during application, you can easily correct them. The fluffy doe-foot applicator makes it easy to fill in the corners of the lips with ease. There is a chemical fragrance to the lipstick which personally doesn’t bother me. Another major difference between the ultra-matte and ultra-satin is that the latter does not give kiss-proof, budge-proof finish. It does transfer a lot. However, they are very long lasting. It is advisable to exfoliate your lips for flawless finish. The ultra-satin doesn’t dry your lips and gives a smooth finish. They are the most comfortable liquid lipsticks out there.

Pigmentation and Coverage: The lipstick is super pigmented and super opaque. It gives a full coverage even if the lips are pigmented.

Shade and Finish: The shade is described as a “dark blackened red” and it is a beautiful dark burgundy red shade with warm undertone. This shade is suitable for Indian skin tones. When you first apply the lipstick, it will be satiny finish; however, it turns matte as the time passes by. You can also blot it with paper if you need an instant matte lip look.

Staying Power: The staying power is really good with this lipstick. It stays on for around 8 hours without the need to reapply. However, it will start to fade if you eat oily meals.

Overall, I am really happy with the color pay off, the texture, and the longevity of the lipstick. The lipstick can be easily removed with an oil based makeup remover.
