e.l.f Matte Lip Colour Review

I have this in the colour natural, which is a really nice nude colour, but personally I don't like light/true nudes on my lips. I prefer something like a dark nude or a more pinky nude, and this is quite light.

I don't know what the description is going on about moisturising and hydrating lips, because this dries my lips out pretty bad (I do have naturally dry lips though). This really accentuates the dryness and lines in my lips, but it doesn't flake off or crack or anything, so that's a good point.

I like that it is kind of a cross between a regular lip colour and a lip pencil, with the pencil-like tip. Makes it pretty easy to apply nicely and I usually don't bother with a lip liner. I think this is one of these put-on-and-go colours that doesn't require much hassle (unless you have dry lips like me).

Have the e.l.f matte lip colours in Tea Rose and Rich Red. I really like the colour payoff and how these lipsticks look at first but after a few hours my lips are so dry! The dryness is the only downside to this product. The price and pigmentation are great.

I've tried a tonne of matte lip pencils, of all prices, and this is by far one of my favourite. Some great colours, great formula - feels soft and velvety on the lips (much like the NARS velvet mattes). Stays on for a pretty long time, very comfortable to wear and easy to apply! Also cannot beat the price. Highly recommend if there's a colour you like - hopefully they expand the range.

I recently did a mini E.L.F haul from iHerb. I ordered this is in the colour Natural.

I was pleasantly surprised of the size as I was assuming it was a thin Pencil.

Quite a decent sized wind up tube/pencil type packaging. Sleek design , easy to control and hold.

Well pigmented, quite a natural pink/nude.

It didn't really go full matte on me and it still transferred.

It lasted a good 3-4 hours. Came off with makeup remover and smells good.

I will buy more colours in this range. And most of all amazing prices!!!

My Elf favourite. I literally have multiples for all the shades. Praline is my favourite! They are so cheap, so easy to apply, good staying power and people are always asking me what product I am using and they are always shocked when I say $3 on iHerb. They just need more colours now

I have these in Natural and Tea Rose, and man do I love them. I can't wait to get the rest of the collection! I love matte lips, and these aren't too drying, they don't 'drag' on the lip and stay put fairly well. Obviously for the price, I don't expect them to be as long wearing as other brands, but i still think they're great!

They have a nice scent and even taste great lol. The little cap on the bottom comes off and there is a wee sharpener there as well. I haven't needed to use that yet, but I guess if I broke of a tip or something and needed to reshape it, it would come in handy.

Great quality for the price. I purchased 2 of these and am in love with the nude. I found the colour to be long lasting and it not too drying on the lips. I also found the pencil a foolproof way to great application, wands and traditional lipsticks just don't work for me coz I fail at applying lip colours without getting some on my face.

I'm a darkish tone and the matte natural did not suit me because it just looked light and like conclear and it was a awesome colour and I thought it looked good coz I watched everyone put it on and new trend but it wasn't the right colour but I loved how it went on my lips smooth and yeah gave it to a friend and she uses it a lot!

I have 2 colours, Tea Rose and Coral. Tea Rose is a beautiful color, suttle purply pink colour, while Coral is a light peachey colour and does not suit my complexion. These are matte so are very drying. The pigmentation is quite opaque for the price. They are easy to use as they are in pencil form. You can easily precisely apply your lipstick without going over the edge. Not very long lasting but that's fine with me. Packaging is very simple and like that it has the colour on the end of the pencil packaging. Easy to twist to get more product. Would happily buy more colours from this range. Very affordable :)
