Revlon Iconic Colorstay Ultimate Suede Lipstick Review

Hello sweeties,

You all know the shades I pick – corals, pinks, fuchsia and bold reds. But, this time I planned to pick some light shades along with the bold ones, just to see how they looked on me. I really like corals, but have always been into brighter and fresher ones. This time, I picked up a light one from the Revlon “Ultimate Suede” range. Let’s see how this worked for me.

My Experience with Revlon Iconic Colorstay Ultimate Suede Lipstick:

Revlon Colorstay range is one of the best ranges to try out for makeup junkies. I had heard a lot of people rave about this range, hence I thought of adding some shades to the vanity. I picked a lot of warm colours for lipsticks from his range, but picked up this light one too as I wanted to build up the nude lip colours collection! Initially, looking at the packaging and bullets, the shades seemed pretty close to each other but when I actually used them, I got to know the real colours.

The lipstick comes in regular circular packaging which is very travel friendly and easy to arrange in the vanity. The packaging resembles the shade which makes it very easy to spot your favourite one. The bullet looks a little glossy, but the formula turns completely matte in a while. The shade “Iconic” is a rusty orange colour, more like a deep burnt orange when I initially apply it. But it soon settles down to a rusty rose colour and loses the orange freshness. It has some hints of copper and bronze in it too. I first thought that it would be a great shade to pair up with Indian dresses, but I totally changed my decision when it became matte. The reason being that it settled badly into the fine lines. Also, it has some cheap gold shimmers that are very much visible on the lips and make it look super frosty and cheap.

It looks like a local lipstick, low quality and tacky shade. It makes my lips very dry from the beginning and the moment I purse my lips, the shade clings to certain portions making the lipstick very uneven. The good part is that the lipstick glides very smoothly on the lips, but application has to be carefully done as the lipstick is soft enough to chip. It also did not transfer on glasses because it stayed on my lips giving it an uneven look and texture. Also, it highlights the chapped portions on the lips adding to the cheapness.

The lipstick stayed on my lips as it is for more than 4 hours, but it does not survive full meals or snacks like its fellow variants. It has to be removed with a very powerful makeup remover or oil based cleanser because a gentle one won’t work great to remove this. I personally did not like this shade or the formula in this, but I love the bolder and brighter shades from this range.

Pros of Revlon Iconic Colorstay Ultimate Suede Lipstick:

• A wide range of shades, good enough to confuse you because all are just gorgeous
• Very handy and the packaging matches the shade, hence it becomes easy to differentiate
• The formula is very light and glides easily on the lips
• The pigmentation is really good and bold and just one swipe gives me complete colour on my lips
• The shade is not versatile and will suit only fair skin tone
• It does not transfer
• It stayed on my lips for more than 4 hours

Cons of Revlon Iconic Colorstay Ultimate Suede Lipstick:

• Dries up the lips and looks awful
• Pricey
• Highlights chapped portions on my lips
• The bullet has to be handled with care because it chips a lot
• It settles into fine lines
• The moment I purse my lips, it creates an uneven look and the colour clings to certain portions on my lips
• It has kind of a frosty finish and the shimmers are very much visible on the skin making it look cheap

Would I Repurchase/Recommend Revlon Iconic Colorstay Ultimate Suede Lipstick?
No, I wouldn’t! Because it is really not worth the money and better peach and coral shades are available by many brands. But, I would definitely give thumbs up to the bolder shades in the range.

IMBB Rating:
2/5

Conclusion:
This range has been a mixed bag for me; the bold shades worked very well, but the lighter shades are awful!

  1. This range is very uncomfortable to carry on the lips , like you said , it totally dries up the lips and looks patchy – which is a shame cause the colours are playful 🙁

    1. I know the lighter shades are worse .. i liked the brighter ones though.. they tried to make it super matte which actually caused it to dry 🙁

  2. You are right saloni…the bolder shades of this range are good. I have a pink named couture. It is good. And this one… And i hate it from the bottom of my heart. Lol! It looks verrry different in the pics though…looking pretty in lip swatches. Actually i bought it online after checking out some pretty lip swatches lip yours… Deceptive 😛 🙂 hehee.

    1. Yes i actually experienced that myself.. the lighter shades don’t at all work well.. wow couture sounds pretty good.. this one pretty much changes colour from peach to rusty pink.. actually my lips have a pinkish tinge.. which not all will have.. checking my swatches means? didn’t get you? This review came up today only.. then how did you get it looking at my swatches? m confused 🙁

    1. Ohhhhhhh acha now I get it :-* i thought which online portal delivered in 1 day lol 🙂 i thought you checked mine and ordered .. aisa koi website ho toh i will order soo much.. bad shade na Jyoti 🙁 now be both have it.. same pinch lol 🙂
