Milani Amore Matte Lip Crème - Cherish (0.22 Fl. Oz.) Cruelty-Free Nourishing Lip Gloss with a 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.

The media could not be loaded.  This color is gorgeous on chocolate skin. Milani should bring this formula back

Nice product. Thank you!!

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.

Me llegó en tiempo y forma, lo regalé en diciembre de 2022. A la persona que se lo regalé le gustó, ella ya había utilizado la marca Milani. En palabras de ella: "La verdad si me gustó!! Es un labial que dura por mucho tiempo y no se "corre". Y el color es como neutro/rosita, muy combinable"

Amo estos labiales porque no irritan y mantienen el color por largo tiempo

Buena pigmentación lo malo es que cuando se seca se desmorona y mancha pero aún así es mi color fav

Best
