Label

My Experience with L’Oreal Infallible Shanghai Scarlet Pro-Matte Gloss:

Packaging: This gloss comes in a transparent curvy rectangular tube with a black cap. The packaging is simple yet looks pretty. The cap is a screw-on type and hence there is no danger of it coming off loose. The name of the gloss appears on a sticker on the cap.  The applicator sponge is doe shaped with a small hole in the middle. It picks up a good amount of the product and applies the gloss easily and precisely.

Applicator

Shade/Pigmentation: “Shanghai Scarlet” as the name suggests is a gorgeous scarlet red. It is a shade which will instantly brighten up your face and will suit most skin tones.  The gloss is strongly pigmented and one swipe is enough to cover the lips. There is no clumping of the gloss if you layer it on.

Texture/Finish:  The texture of this gloss is more like a liquid lipstick. It is quite creamy and applies very smoothly.  The finish is a semi-matte one with some amount of sheen. The sheen makes the lips look plumper. The gloss does set a bit after a while but it does not dry down to a fully dry matte finish.

Hand swatch

The gloss feels pretty comfortable on the lips and feels like velvet. It does not feel drying nor does it settle into lips lines. I did not observe any feathering either.

Lasting Power:  The gloss transfers quite a bit. The lasting power is average and it lasts on me for around 4-5 hours depending on what I am snacking/drinking.
