I bought 2 colors in this formulation. I love the way the formula wears. I'm always on the lookout for good matte lipstick colors and formulations. This one is a winner!!!

I tried this in colour 14, a dark taupey-purple/brown. Although I found the formula too dry and patchy, which is a problem with dark colours, I find the Essence line great for trying out new or...

Not bad but not great either. It is very matte but not long-lasting. The colors offered are less than impressive. I’ll use the tube up that I got but probably will not repurchase.

This lipstick gets everywhere, way too much even for a stick lipstick. It got on my teeth several times and somehow my cheeks, it just has too much slip. However it did not look bad on the lips...

I love these lipsticks! Great formula and great price! They are Matte but hydrating and not drying at all! I have a lot of the shades but 02 is my favourite! It’s a dupe for Macs Velvet Teddy!’

Staying power. Smooth formula. Compliments. What more do you need?? I bought every colour. Better than the expensive brands I own.

Ridiculously good for the price. I paid, what , $1.50 for it with a coupon? It’s great, too. I would have counted it a good purchase for $15 from any mid range makeup line. The color- 02...

Surprisingly long wearing. I was really impressed. This rivals Maybelline's Colour sensational lines, which are my go to. And you can't beat essence prices.

I got mine in the colour wow effect which was much more of a bright berry pink than I'd thought when I swatched it, while I didn't expect it to be this colour I ended up really loving it. The...

Perfect Match is shade 02 in Essence's Matt Matt Matt lipstick line. It's a very sophisticated medium rosy-brown that is mauve-tinted enough that is pretty close to MLBB for me. This is a very...

Despite the name, these lipsticks are anything but Matt Matt Matt. They're actually quite creamy with a semi-matte finish which means they're not drying. My mature lips can't wear true matte...
