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

I love to try different products so started to use elf 👄 lipstick and i lked it ,the pigmentation is very high you just but one time so you don’t have to but two layers from the product even it colored and the quality is good too it mediam matt not too much ,i love thes kinds from lips will buy it again ,,but I didn’t finish any lipstick actually 😂😂😂 it always stay long time in my kit ,,good but i will do if that happen . e.l.f. Cosmetics Velvet Matte Lipstick

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’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.

Great product, however, tends to be a bit drying.  Even more so on dry lips.   I find the best way to balance this lipstick if you have dry lips is to exfoliate and then apply a thin layer of  EOS under the lipstick so it does not over dry your lips.  Other than that, the colors are beautiful, lasts pretty long and overall a great lipstick. 

For a drugstore lip product, this is pretty stellar! The product goes on smoothly and opaque with one application. It doesn't really dry down, however, it just stays on kind of wet? I usually have to set it with a translucent setting powder or a similar colored shadow. For the money, though, this product is great and just what you would expect and hope for.
