My Experience with L. A. Colors Matte Lipstick Wicked:

The lipstick comes in a basic black colored plastic tube with a clear plastic cap. The side of the tube has the shade name written on it. The tube is color-coded and the transparent cap helps to easily spot the shade from makeup stash. The cap does not shut very tightly and may come off while carrying around. So, it is not really travel-friendly. The shape of the actual lipstick is typical bullet shaped that helps to give easier and précised application. The lipstick bullet remains out, so I have to be a little careful while opening or closing. Overall, the packaging is average.

The shade “Wicked” is a beautiful cool toned purple lipstick. The color is suitable for Indian skin tones. This shade goes well with my skin tone and instantly brightens up the face. This is a pretty shade. It is a pretty party color. This is a bold shade and definitely not for weak-hearted people. The color goes evenly on the lips and never gets patchy. The lipstick sets to a soft matte finish. The lipstick is decently pigmented and requires two-three swipes to build up the color on the lips. One swipe gives semi-opaque coverage. Two-three swipes are good enough to build up full opaque coverage and helps in covering pigmentation of the lips.

The texture of the lipstick is smooth but slightly drying. It causes a little tugging and pulling of the lips. It highlights dry patches of the lips, so it is important to exfoliate and moisturize the lips well for smoother and healthier looking lips. So, prepping the lips before application is mandatory. The formula is comfortable but these are not extremely lightweight on the lips. I can feel the presence of the lipstick on my lips. The lipstick is smudge-proof up to some extent even after meals and does not budge even after heavy meals. The formula is not heavily transferring but it does transfer a little on the mugs and the goblets. It survives normal sipping and light snacks easily but it fades away after a heavy meal. The lipstick is not really moisturizing and feels dry on the lips after some time. So, I need a lip balm after a few hours to keep my lips nourished.

The lipstick lasts for good 5-6 hours on my lips with a little fading. It can be easily taken off with a good makeup remover and does not stain the lips.
