Flower Sheer Up Lip Tint – Dewy Rose Review

Flower Sheer Up Lip Tint – Dewy Rose Review

Hi Beautifuls,

How are you doing today? I am back with another red from my stash, it’s a lip tint from the brand Flower! Flower is a well-known budget-friendly and high quality makeup brand which is owned by the gorgeous celebrity, Drew Barrymore who needs no introduction.  It is interesting to note that Drew Barrymore launched her products with Wal-Mart exclusively to make them easily accessible and affordable for every deserving beauty diva! I was curious about this brand ever since I heard about it and finally I opened my account with this dewy, rose, sheer up tint! I am not sure about the other products in this brand, but their sheer up tints seems to be tricky on our Asian skin, though their pigmentation and buildable coverage comes as a very pleasant surprise for me! Anyway, let’s check out Flower Sheer Up Tint.

Price:

$7.98 for 0.1 Oz (2.8 g), exclusive of taxes and shipping charges.

Packaging:

This subtle shimmery tomato red lip tint comes in a retractable plastic crayon packaging with safety cap and self-sharpening property as per their claim. It does have a very faint synthetic smell which is not bothering. It is absolutely travel friendly and average packaging overall.

My Experience with Flower Sheer Up Lip Tint – Dewy Rose:

Dewy Rose seems to be the most pigmented and wearable shade out of all limited five shades – Airy Orchid, Bare Blush, Lacy Laurel, and Sheer Blossom respectively! Though their “Airy Orchid” shade also seems pigmented (I am planning to try it as well) unlike other pale shades which might be tricky on our Indian skin tones! Dewy Rose is a tangy tomato red shade with subtle hint of sparkles which are way mild on my lips. It immediately brightens up my skin tone without looking frosty or loud!

I am not into sheer lip colors yet and I was really skeptical about these sheer up tints initially; however their intense pigmentation changed my mind! It gives nearly 80% coverage on my lips in just 2-3 swipes which makes it ideal for pigmented lips though it might give medium coverage on deeply pigmented lips. It delivers translucent tomato red pigmentation in one single swipe which hides my lip patches up to a great extent without any frosty or shimmery look.  I can notice some shimmer, but once I swipe it on the lips, they are barely noticeable! I think they are more than just lip tints, full fledged glossy lip colors probably!

The texture of the lip tint is another pleasant surprise, it’s soft and hydrating on my lips.  I would not call them intensely hydrating though. They easily glide on my lips without any tugging and pulling and deliver intense color payoff in minimum 1-2 strokes. It neither settles in my lip crevices nor bleeds like cheap lip tints. Even if they are highly pigmented, I still notice that they give lightweight translucent glossy finishing on the lips! However, I doubt if they work wonders on dry, chapped lips as they neither accentuate my dry lips, but they don’t treat my lips as well! I often wear it over lip balm which affects its pigmentation and staying power, but it still manages to survive 4-6 hours with that sheer glossy juicy sheen on my lips. It might bleed with multiple swipes over lip balm.

On an average, this dewy rose tint stays for good 6+ hours on my lips without fading or feathering with light snacks and water sips. It does need touch ups after heavy meals though. I am happy that it does not leave any stain behind other than subtle shimmer which gets easily rinsed off with water.  Overall, I am quite impressed with this sheer lip tint, being a typical lipstick gal! I want to try the other shades which might surprise me with their intense color payoff though they are not intensely hydrating like other balmy lip crayons in the market.

Let’s sum up pros and cons:

Pros of Flower Sheer Up Lip Tint – Dewy Rose:

• A soft, juicy, and intensely pigmented tomato red lip tint with subtle shimmer.
• It instantly adds glow to my face without looking loud or frosty.
• It is lightweight, glossy, and a balmy tint which gives enough coverage to hide light patches of my lips in just one stroke.
• It also gives nearly 90% coverage in 2-3 swipes without bleeding or feathering which makes it ideal for pigmented lips.
• No matter whether we swipe it once or multiple times, it gives juicy, translucent glossy finishing on lips which is way subtle and does not look cheap or frosty even with those sparkles.
• It does not settle in dry lip crevices, does not bleed.
• Does not irritate or dry out the lips.
• Stays for 6+ hours without fading or feathering with multiple light meals and water sips.
• Even if it fades after a heavy meal, it does not leave any stain or glitter behind, just subtle hint of shine.
• It gives well-defined and glossy lips in one go, I love the way it precisely lines my lips and delivers that flush of cherry tomato color on my lips.
• Pretty decent, retractable, and travel-friendly packaging.

Cons of Flower Sheer Up Lip Tint – Dewy Rose:

• I do not feel it is intensely hydrating as it does not heal dry and chapped lips.
• It does transfer, especially with multiple swipes.
• Limited shade selection and most shades would not work well with Indian skin tones.
• Might bleed when applied over lip balm.
• Pricey.

Overall, I found it quite decent for daily wear as well as for occasional functions! It is an average lip tint which you can try for its buildable color payoff, finish, and lasting power, provided you find your perfect shade! I would love to get this dewy rose again and I am also getting that Airy Orchid!
