Faces Ultime Pro Sultry Red Starry Matte Lip Crayon Review

Hello sweeties,

Women have loved the idea of lip crayons because such crayons look so cute, they work in an excellent way and last really long. Faces launched its lip colours a few months back, and I was very impressed with the few shades. Today, I am reviewing “Sultry Red”! Let’s get started.

My Experience with Faces Ultime Pro Sultry Red Starry Matte Lip Crayon:

 

Packaging:
The packaging comes in a deep rusty shimmery orange colour with a black base and a transparent cap. It has the shade name written right over the packaging which makes it super easy. Also, the packaging colour resembles the shade, so it becomes hassle-free to find one if you own a few. It looks like the lip crayons from other brands, but just a little thinner. These crayons are extremely handy and the cap at any point gets separated from the crayon.

Now the difference in the packaging is that, these have to be sharpened and they don’t have a twisty base. The sharpener comes free with these, for which I wholeheartedly thank Faces. Yes, there is product wastage, but I am always cautious.

Shade:
The shade “Sultry Red” is a very pretty deep rusty orange which is loaded with bronzy golden shimmers. The shimmers and the rusty orange combo makes it a very lovely ethnic shade. But I was disappointed for it has just some red hints while the base is orange. So the name is a little misleading. I was expecting it to be a hot bold red shade.

The shade definitely creates an instant pop on my lips and it might be one of the shades for a bridal trousseau. It complements my skin-tone well and would do the same with all skin-tones. But the only dicey part is that the shade is very unique and how well you can handle shimmers. I can’t handle shimmers so I wouldn’t be able to wear this often. So either see the swatch perfectly or try it at the counter.

Finish and texture:
The finish is super matte and I am sure the matte lovers are going to fall in love with the finish. The pigmentation is intense and the application is super smooth and creamy. It glides like a dream. Now I actually found out a vast difference in the matte and the starry matte ones, the formula of the matte ones was exceptional, but this is something I did not really enjoy. It gets very patchy with time.

Also, it clings to the dry and chapped portions of the lips, which looks awful and is highly noticeable. It also settles into fine lines, transfers a lot and shimmers make it look even more tacky.

Staying power:
The staying power is really good, like other mattes from this range as it stays for more than 6-7 hours, but it looks uneven and patchy. The pigmentation might mildly decrease after 4-5 hours, but the colour stays as it is. It stays no matter how much I eat, sip water or do whatever. The removal part is a little tedious as it needs a powerful makeup remover to come off.

  1. You should check out their red shade (without the glitters) it is a very pretty deep red. There is a problem with the color vanishing on the inner part of the lips with a meal but otherwise it is a great product to have

    1. Yaaaaaaa shilpaaaaa the matte range does work better than the starry matte shades.. I think you are talking about midnight rose.. I reviewed it too… definitely one of the best shades of the range.. 🙂
