“sweety and natural.it's sheer but lasting. i can wear for a whole day long~”
Sheer Makeup
“I am not really a contour/highlighting person because I am typically turned off by seeing results that look overdone but this product completely changed my opinion. The fact that it's sheer but buildable helps a lot. I watched a few tutorials (Hindash youtube tutorial on "All Matte" is a must-see) and I was really happy how I was able to achieve this enhanced, glowy and sultry look that looks like I'm not wearing any makeup at all”
Transparent Lipstick
“I received this for free in exchange for my review. This lipstick is amazing. I always am skeptical of matte lipsticks but this one in very moisturizing and the color is amazing”

“The color is a notch higher than sheer with a shiny finish. For the price, I have better lipsticks that do the same or better already in my collection”

Natural Lipstick
“I love the shade too, it’s a great natural lipstick, can wear during the day or night”
Stick Lipstick
“mac ruby woo has been an holy grail since i started wearing red lipstick, and i love the ruby woo equivalents in the locked kiss ink and liquid retro matte. i was hesitant to see how this could be longer lasting than the og lipstick, but it IS. i wore it to a concert (have no other close up photos besides the one posted haha) and it lasted the whole show with only one smudge from where i was drinking from a water bottle while jumping around and sweating. no lipstick is 100% transfer proof ever on me, but this one STAYS. i enjoyed the finish more so than the locked kiss ink, and when i eat (if it starts to wear off) it does so much more evenly than the liquid. minus one star because it’s hard to be super precise with the applicator - wish it was a little smaller so i could get to the inner corners easier”
