My Experience with Sugar Cosmetics Smudge Me Not Liquid Lipstick 19 Jet Set Violet:

Packaging:
There is nothing new about the packaging. It is similar to the packaging of other liquid lipsticks from this range. This liquid lipstick comes in a quirky cardboard packaging having the signature Sugar graphics and prints on it. The graphical design looks very attractive and colourful and renders a good value packaging-wise. The liquid lipstick comes housed inside this cardboard box.

The shape of the tube is square and it will fit easily in your makeup box. The colour of the tube is transparent and you can see through the shade of the lipstick from outside, which actually helps in the shade identification process quickly. The tube of the lipstick has a regular screw-on black cap on it that closes properly in place. There are no chances of unwanted leakage of the product. The shade name is mentioned at the base of the tube and also on the outer cardboard box.

The applicator of the lipstick comes attached with the black cap. The shape of the applicator is just perfect for liquid lipstick application. You will not face unwanted and uneven coverage with this type of wand. Overall, I find the packaging sturdy and quite attractive.

Shade:
This shade ’19 Jet Set Violet’ is a deep and gorgeous rich eggplant purple shade with a mix of red undertones in it. This shade can be rocked by all types of undertones and will go with all age brackets. It will suit all skin tones but will complement fair to medium skin tones more. It goes perfectly with my skin tone and looks ultra-bold on my lips.

This definitely is not an everyday shade in my personal opinion but if you are confident enough to pull off such shades with oomph, you can surely wear it. It is that kind of purple shade which I have desired for long. This shade is perfect for parties and wedding occasions and since it is long staying as well, you can avoid frequent touch-ups. I am quite happy with it.

Pigmentation:
Needless to say, the pigmentation of these liquid lipsticks is the bomb. You get an opaque coverage in a single swipe. For pigmented lips, it will need a maximum of two swipes for the full colour payoff. I usually apply two coats of it and then I am ready to go. Between two successive coats, I use a blotting tissue to remove the excess amount. I am really happy with the intense pigmentation of these lipsticks.

Fragrance wise, it has a mild candy-like fragrance which is never too bothering. The fragrance lingers for sometime after which it gradually fades away.

Texture and Finish:
The texture is smooth, very creamy and the product, when applied, spreads evenly without any tugging or pulling. The finish has no hint of gloss or shimmers in it. It feels sticky initially, but once it sets to a dead matte finish, the sticky feeling is gone. The formula is lightweight and feels comfortable to wear. The more you apply, the more time it takes to dry up.

After you apply this lipstick, it takes about 20-30 seconds to dry down completely and then sets to a dry matte finish. While applying coats, be quick because the colour gets settled really fast and can give a patchy look if you don’t pay proper attention. The formulation is buildable and adjusts well to layering. Initially, the formulation felt quite hydrating and moisturizing, but it felt drying on the lips after some time. This was because my lips were not hydrated. It will highlight fine lines of your lips if you are prone to dryness.

One good point about this lip colour is that it is smudge-proof and water-proof. Once it dries down completely, it is completely transfer-proof as well. The application ensures a flawless and even finish with zero streakiness.

The product claims to contain Vitamin E, but it tends to make the lip stretchy after wearing it for some time. Exfoliation and prepping up your lips is mandatory; otherwise, the dryness will surely ruin your day. It is advisable to moisturise your lips with a lip balm to keep them hydrated and healthy looking.

Staying Power:
Another feather to its good performance is the insane staying power. From morning to night, it stays in place throughout if you do not consume any food or drinks. It does not crack or flake off. On my lips, it stays for about 8-9 hours without budging. With normal meals, the colour intensity is not affected much. However, with oily foods, it gets chipped off from the centre of the lips. In that case, you would require reapplication. But the reapplication is not messy at all since the texture is so soft and creamy. If you have primed lips, the staying power will definitely be more.

Coming to the removal process, it is not possible to remove this lipstick with a normal water-based remover or wet wipe as the colour is highly pigment packed. You would surely need an oil-based makeup remover for complete removal of the lipstick. I also used some almond oil as I really had a hard time removing it off.

Overall:
Keeping both the pros and cons in mind, the pros have outweighed the cons. The ‘Sugar Smudge Me Not Liquid Lipsticks’ is a perfect range to splurge your money on. The colour ’19 Jet Set Violet’ is a true purple shade and is great for people who love rocking violet lips. I will repurchase it.
