In Detail Avon Ultra Color Matte Lipstick Matte Merlot Review, Swatches

So the lipstick comes in a black coloured carton packaging. The cap and base are again black with metallic grey coloured shell. The top actually has a see through plastic which kind of helps look inside and see the lipstick bullet. My concern with the packaging would be that there is absolutely no ingredients mentioned anywhere on the packaging which is not cool.

Avon Matte Merlot is a deep red coloured lipstick with a nice creamy formula. It glides on the lips smoothly and does not feel drying on the lips. These lipsticks are in fact quite glossy and moisturising which is contrary to its name. I am not sure what avon meant when they said “matte” since to me, this does not look like matte at all. May be they meant that it does not have any shimmers, any guesses?

Matte Merlot is deeply pigmented shade. Still I need a few swipes to get the desired results since a single swipe kind of makes it look a little incomplete. The staying time of the lipstick is approximately 5 to 6 hours without meals. It transfers heavily on everything that I put on my lips but the colour does not wear off completely.

While removing it with a makeup remover, it comes off almost completely leaving behind a very light stain which can be more or less ignored. One very important thing about this lipstick is, one needs to be very careful while applying it since the formula is so creamy that its easy to make mistakes around the edges of the lips if one has not lined the with a lip liner beforehand.

Overall though the lipstick is called matte, I feel it would best suit in the category of ultra moisturising lipstick with a very lovely creamy texture. It has a decent stay time and moreover I really love this shade. Red lipsticks are hands down my all time favourite and this particular shade is super hot. This looks so good with a black dress, or may be with any dress for an evening outing.
