It had a semi-opaque, buildable pigmentation that was applied evenly and held well for five hours. This shade had settled in my deeper lip wrinkles after the fourth hour of wearing, but there were some stains that made it less noticeable than the lighter shades in the range. It dried out a bit over time.

Formula overview
$ 28.00 / 0.14 oz. – $ 200.00 per ounce
The formula is said to have “vibrant color delivery” with a “velvety matte finish” that “looks (and feels) great on the lips.” It’s a silicone-based formula (the first ingredient is dimethicone), which are often the more “modern” matte lipstick formulas. This gives them a lighter, more velvety feel – creamy enough to glide on but almost “dry” to the touch without being as clingy as traditional matte surfaces.
Color delivery ranged from semi-opaque to opaque, although some shades were applied better than others; the lighter shades appeared to be less pigmented, while some of the deeper shades weren’t applied as evenly. The midtones did the best overall; They had more complete coverage, were more pleasant and even to apply, and tended to be more forgiving of imperfections in the lip texture. Close-ups show slight “balls” of the product, although in most cases I could not feel or see them personally.
The matte silicone-based formulas have a thinner consistency that, depending on the shade and application, can accentuate the lip texture or separate along the lip contours. Most shades didn’t, but some did for me. With wear and tear, I found that medium and darker shades tended to draw more clearly into my lip lines as the colors tended to wear unevenly to a certain extent.
The colors lasted between three and six hours, with deeper, red-based hues lasting longer and leaving a stronger stain, and the lighter hues lasting the shortest time. The formula didn’t feel dry to the touch, but was very light and comfortable to wear for the first few hours and then felt a little stickier as the product wore off.
Most of the colors are new to the range, although the “recurring” colors are quite similar to the colors in Amuse Bouche, but have a different finish and to some extent depth due to the difference in finish. Amuse Bouche’s formula was a little different as it had a creamier, denser, and cream / satin finish, meaning it had shine, more depth, and more glide. If you liked the luminosity of the Amuse Bouche formula, the new formula doesn’t offer it; If you’ve always wanted a matte version, you may find yourself enjoying the new formula.
The formula had a vanilla scent but no noticeable taste.

This made it more comfortable to apply, but I found that it wore off similarly to other deeper shades in the formula: some bumps as it was removed and the product settled into my deeper lip lines over time. The thinner, more silicone-containing formula didn’t smooth out when I pressed my lips together, making it harder to “fix” the settling while wearing it. The paint lasted decently for six hours, leaving a faint stain, and not drying.
