For me, since I’m pretty light with blonde hair and blue eyes I felt tha this lipstick was a little intimidating when I first opened it. The color is... wow... But I took a deep breath, dabbed it on and to my surprise I really liked it. As long as I applied it with a light hand, the color was very flattering. A nice deep berry but not too crazy. Suitable for night time or even certain day looks. It went on smoothly, but I did find it a little drying after a while. And while I needed to reapply after a few hours, that’s the way it is for most lipsticks. (I did not use a lip primer with it, so that could extend the longevity.). I have to say though, for the price you can’t beat it. e.l.f. Cosmetics Velvet Matte Lipstick

It’s a hate and love relationship with this color and lip line. It gives a traditional lipstick package with the bonus lip stain on the bottom, but I felt it could have been better. I rated this a 3 out of five because of the simple packaging when they could have went above the competitors with their package. The formula is ok but it’s not as long lasting as I would prefer it to be. For a simple night out, sure use this, but for an all day wear be prepared to reapply several times with the chance of it creasing and building up.

I give it a 3 star rating because the color is beyond beautiful and it was one of my favorite matte lip looks but I did have trouble with the sticky feeling in the beginning. I would definitely use this product again but I'd personally avoid applying a light touch of lip balm although it would help avoid the look of chapped lips because that was the sticky feeling I was getting. I know! Chapped lips > sticky feeling of lips? Yes. It gets irritating and it causes the product to be easily removed throughout the use. 

The Velvet Matte lipstick by e.l.f. comes in about 10 shades and is by far the Esscence of its name... a matte lipstick that goes on velvety smooth and fine. Its not quick drying and wont stain. It does not last super long like some mattes, yet is moisturizing. I have found that I just barely sprinkle some dusty powder or shadow a top center of bottom lip and ever so gently blot together- it prolongs setting and wear time! e.l.f.

Love this product. Love how smooth it applies and how long it lasts to the point where I have to scrub it off the next day. I use this a lot, the color looks great with my skin tone. Pricing was great and it met expectations, love the gel that comes in the bottom. Would buy this again and many other colors as well. Highly recommend to people who want a long lasting, all night, no smear lipstick for a great price. 

I bought this at the Dollar Tree. The color is a very pretty bright pink which shows up very well. It doesn't dry as much as I'd like so it transfers a lot but it wears a little longer than you would expect with the transfer. Considering I only paid a dollar for the product I will say I've got what I paid for. If I found a different color in this product for the same price I would be willing to give it another try.

I’ve been looking for a burgundy to have as a staple for a long time and now I can say I’ve finally found one. Ever since Lauryn Hill came on the scene in 1999 with the Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill album wearing a bold burgundy lip, I knew that I should not be afraid to wear bold colors, when I got old enough to wear lipstick. Since then, having the perfect burgundy was important . I love this color on me!

e.l.f. Cosmetics Velvet Matte Lipstick Creamy texture, great pigment, long lasting...such a great product! I am in love with this lipstick and the shades offered. Who knew for a small price you would get such great quality! Don't knock it until you try it.

The lipstick is very cheap and doesn’t offer much product who buys it but for the price it is reasonable . When buying a matte lipstick everyone must keep in mind that mostly all the products will dry out your lips and this product certainly did so.. it does not last for a very long time and does stain things , thusmeaning it doesn’t stay firm to your face and can blur/smudge. Watch out if you reapply the product because it will leave a cakey / crumbly lipped look . I recommend if you buy this product to keep lips clean when applied and if their is need for re application to clean lips before hand. It is workeable though , the product does what it’s suppose to do, just make sure lips are moisturized and to keep lips moisturized after usage.I would recommend this if someone were in want of a cheap matte lipstick, the lipstick itself is workeable even through out its problems.

I give it three stars because regardless of my personal opinion on the finish of the lipstick it was a good lipstick I guess, I don't really like shiny stick lipstick but the pigmentation on the lipstick was high medium and I really like how it comes with a separate little container underneath the lipstick with extra product and oddly enough it has a really nice taste and smell
