This liquid lipstick offers a sophisticated, second-skin feel that is incredibly lightweight and comfortable for a matte formula. The texture starts as a fluid and sets into a luminous matte finish that doesn't feel overly drying or tight on the lips. I love the high-intensity pigment that provides rich color in just one swipe, and the inclusion of nourishing ingredients like jojoba oil and antioxidant-rich Vitamin E helps keep the lips feeling soft. The sleek, frosted glass packaging is also quintessential Chanel—elegant, compact, and perfect for carrying in even the smallest clutch.
While the formula is long-wearing, it is not entirely transfer-proof, so you may notice some color on coffee cups or during meals. Because it has a very thin, watery consistency initially, you have to be careful during application to ensure it doesn't bleed outside the lip line before it sets. Additionally, while it is more hydrating than many traditional liquid mattes, it can still emphasize existing dry flakes if your lips aren't well-prepped and exfoliated beforehand.
