Make Up For Ever Artist Rouge Matte High Pigmented Lipstick أحمر الشفاه

The lipstick is of good quality, it stays on well and applies nicely. However, I bought the shade 104 and it is not at all "Sosoa". On the lips, it has a violet undertone. The lasting power of the lipstick is average. It can withstand morning coffee, but no more than that. When eating, it completely wears off.

I have mixed feelings about this lipstick. On one hand, it lasts long, fades nicely, doesn't dry out the lips, and doesn't smear when eating or drinking. The sharp tip allows for precise contouring. On the other hand, I chose shade 502, one of the most difficult shades to pull off. In this aspect, this purple behaves the same as many other purple lipsticks in different brands - it feathers upon application and goes on unevenly. You have to apply it in several layers for it to look nice. I can't say if this happens with other shades as well. I hope for the best.
