| Urban Decay Matte Revolution Lipstick |
I love matte lipsticks in the autumn and wouldn't miss the opportunity to try out another one. I ordered 2 Urban Decay Matte Revolution Lipsticks as soon as they appeared on the website, but it took them a while to arrive here as they were lost in transit and unfortunately 1993 was no longer available to be re-shipped, so I picked Stark Naked instead. So here I am, owning Stark Naked and After Dark and still hunting 1993, mainly because I'm terribly sentimental about that year.

But first things first. The lipstick, which shares its name with a similar Charlotte Tilbury product, comes in a lovely shimmery black metal tube. The formula of these is amazing with its creamy nature and super saturated colour. They're very definitely matte, but apply like a dream without dragging or skipping. They wear perfectly well for hours without drying my lips or causing any discomfort whatsoever. I've got a ton of matte lipsticks, but I find it hard to compare them to anything. They're somewhere inbetween the satiny lipsticks like Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet or the new Estee Lauder Pure Color Envy Matte and the powdery dry, but long-lasting MAC Matte formulas.

Stark Naked, just as I suspected, is not the right shade for me. Beautiful as it is, the peachy-beige nude, is not flattering for my skin type at all. I stray away from these shades, but the swatches online were kind of confusing and I really hoped this would work for me. I think this is a gorgeous shades for women with light olive complexions.

After dark, however, is an amazing shade and I believe this one would suit a variety of skin tones, the only condition is that you need to dare to be different. After Dark is such a unique shade. It's a berry shade with some purple microshimmer which translates onto the lips as a kind of purple sheen, that's why many people categorise this lipstick as a plum shade. This lipstick is not for the faint-hearted nude lip lovers. It's bold, it's cheeky, it attracts more attention than any red colour as people are attracted by its brightness and puzzled by its impossible-to-define shade.

One thing I want to mention is that this lipstick calls for a lip liner, but it's really hard to find a matching one. I'm using a magenta eyeliner by a Korean brand Shara Shara (picture below), but it's not a perfect match.
Nonetheless, I love these new Urban Decay lipsticks and I'm going to get 2 more without any doubt.
