Milani Amore Matte Metallic Lip Crème - Vampy Matte (0.22 Fl. Oz.) Cruelty-Free Nourishing Lip Gloss with a Soft, Full Matte Finish

I was on the fence about this color because it looks super purple in the pictures but ya know what?I really dig it!It’s definitely darker than anything I normally wear, but when I put it on my husband said my lips looked luscious and ran in to put his face on my face for smooches.YES PLEASE!We’ve been together 12 years and he’s never even used the WORD luscious, let alone used it to describe my face pillows.😍I’m pretty stoked if I do say so myself.The deets on this lippy.It’s kind of a deep purplish red on me, there is a lot in the tube, it glides on effortlessly, it’s not overly drying on my lips and it dries like paint but not in a bad way.I mean that it’s basically like shellacking your lips with color because this stuff does not come off.It’s not only smudge proof, it’s almost make out proof as well!I say almost because I did leave some faint smooch stains on my Mr.’s face, but out of all the lipsticks I’ve tried thus far, it’s the most smudge proof.Even compared to my Fenty mattes!I’m literally shocked.I also like that I didn’t have to use a lipliner. Omg it’s so easy to get a sharp lip outline with this!No blotting needed btw.The only annoying part about this lippy is that it’s stupid hard to remove.I mean I used jojoba, various toners, and straight up isopropyl alcohol but there was STILL a little hint of color on my lips.I actually had to have my husband reformulate the CBD toner we make so I could finally take this stuff off with one cotton pad instead of using 20 and scrubbing my lips until they are on fire and I look like someone punched me in the mouth.I didn’t take off a star though because, I mean, if I want a lipstick that doesn’t smudge, it stands to reason that it’s gonna be like removing old paint to get it off.Gotta take a little bad with the good ya know?I took a couple of pics close up and farther away so you can see what it looks like on a chocolate gal.I probably should have posted better ones but it was late, I was about to take off my makeup and tired as all get out so I figured as long as I at least attempted modesty by covering my décolletage, we’re good.🤷🏽‍♀️It’s the lips that are important anyway!🤪 I know that lipstick can look different on different skin tones, so I always try to post a pic for other darker skinned women so ya can have an idea of what it looks like on darker skin..🤓As always no filters or flash, just my big ole face on display with only my bathroom lights on.🥴I love this lipstick and I bought it in 5 other colors, hopefully they will all work out for me!🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽***UPDATE ****The other colors I bought are AWESOME! Especially Amore. I included 2 pics of that color because it’s glorious.It’s this brilliant , almost femme fatale comic book heroine red and I.am.LOVING.it.I feel like I should be fighting crime in a tricked out moserati or something!It’s more drying than the other lippies in this line, but it’s still pretty great.Also, if you are struggling between obsession and gorgeous, may I suggest you try obsession?They are both very similar colors on my African American skin but obsession has more firepower and is more highly pigmented. Gorgeous is like it’s shy 2nd cousin.

I absolutely love the shade Amore. It’s a really nice shade of red, absolutely gorgeous.

It’s long lasting I can wear it for hours without it wearing off and often times it takes me a couple minutes to wash it off which is fantastic for me because I wear my make up for extended periods of time for photo shoots. My favorite thing is to add a color eyeshadow on top to make it pop. It goes on super sticky and dries nice and Matt. It is a bit hard to remove and it does smudge a bit but it’s my all-time favorite black lipstick.

I really like this Milani matte lip creme in red. It's a vibrant cherry red. It also dries and stays on for hours without smudging. The only downside is that it's so matte that it dries the lips. Although it looks great on its own, it also looks good with a little lip gloss on top which moistens the lips and puffs them up a bit, giving a more sultry look.

my fav lipstick

Ladies this goes on very smoothly and feels light on the lips, dries immediately so you need to put it on rather quickly. I purchased this because it is described as more of a mauvy color with some deeper pink undertones, but as you can see it dries in more of a burgundy brown undertone. It may even appear a bit more of wine or berry tones, but be clear.....there is Absolutely No pink tone in this whatsoever! Not sheer, does not last all day.Anastasia products are better matte products.I've ordered a different one..."Plush" color because it seems to have the pink mauve tone I prefer. Hopefully that will be correct. The seller needs to photograph actual people wearing the different colors instead of stock photos of just the lipstick. We need to see and know which numbers each color coordinates with. This is just lazy and sloppy marketing and I don't appreciate it considering the price per ounce on these products.

I got the color Pretty Problematic. On my screen i looks like a cool-toned berry. And it is NOT berry at all. It’s more of a deep brownish crimson color on me 🤷🏻‍♀️ the formula feels great on your lips though! It’s definitely not transfer proof - fyi!

I absolutely love this matte lipstick it last all day, it doesn’t stain your lips easy to remove I get a lot of compliments Everytime I use it.

Best

I love Milani products. But these creme lipsticks are the best! They are not spotty and last forever. Colors are vivid.

Shade is too good for fair skin tone

Me gusta mucho el color, pero en cuanto tomas agua o comes se hace parchoso y se despinta :/
