Haven't used a lipstick in many years but this might be the one to get me back into them! The #526 shade looks like a mlbb shade in the stick, but goes on slightly brighter than expected, but still an everyday shade. This will probably be more of a spring/summer look as I prefer more muted shades in autumn/winter time. Loved the shape and size of this as I find most lipsticks to be too big and hard to maneuver and define my cupids bow, but this tip is more narrow which worked perfectly. Texture was creamy without being tacky but I still prefer to have a lips moisturized first before application. Still a faint pigment transfer onto cups etc, although not significant enough to turn me away from trying more shades.

Shiseido ModernMatte Powder Lipstick Review
A weightless, full-coverage, matte lipstick that lends lips long-lasting, velvety color.
This non-drying formula delivers matte, full-coverage color that feels utterly weightless and provides a powder-soft finish on lips. A unique blend of waxes and oils melts and transforms into an ultra-thin, featherweight powder, while spherical pigments float across lips to blur imperfections. Available in 24 shades inspired by Tokyo’s vibrant nightlife, this statement-making lipstick provides eight hours of rich, velvety color. Dermatologist-tested.

Tips: Moisturize lips first with a balm and allow to fully absorb before applying for a better finish
Seems like powder finish lipsticks are the latest trend at the moment, even MAC has one. I thought they would be drying on the lips and gather in cracks, but it was quite nice. It is moisturising but doesn’t look glossy or wet. It almost feels like a creamy lipstick but with a soft matte finish
Tips: Apply liberally and blend out with fingertips to create a gradient finish or apply evenly to achieve full coverage pigment
I was given a tube of this lipstick from a dear friend who was returning home. I found that the colour when applied was far more intense than it looked in the tube, so probably too bright for me. It definitely did dry to a matte finish but it's not a feeling I like on my lips.
