Mine at last! : Lancome Color Design matte lipstick in Corset review and swatches

Posted | 3 comments

Hello lovely readers!

When I first saw Christine’s (from Temptalia) review Lancome Mix & Matte Collection: Matte Lipsticks Review, Photos, Swatches, I fell deeply in lust with ‘Corset’.

… which only increased when I saw pictures of Christina Hendricks at the 2010 Emmys. She’s wearing Lancome Corset as a stain with Lancome Color Fever gloss in Cyber Coral on top.

Colour:

Corset is a semi-matte pigmented coral pink. It has a just detectable pale gold microshimmer in it that is visible in direct sunlight- in natural light it just gives Corset a beautiful glowiness.
Texture:

Texture wise the Lancome Color Design Mattes have made a big splash amongst the beauty blogging community because they have none of the chalkiness, dryness, and tugging associated with matte lipsticks. When I tried it I was also pleasantly surprised at how silkily it applied on the lips and how comfortable it was to wear throughout the day for a matte lippy. Of course, it did not actually add moisture to my lips like a gloss or a MAC lustre finish lipstick, but it didn’t dry them out either.

Staying power and pigmentation:

Staying power is reasonable. 3hrs on average on me. Pigmentation is quite good, with full coverage in one swipe.

Here is a swatch of Corset nestled between NARS Heat Wave and MAC Speak Louder to give you a good idea of the colour in context…

There are 8 Lancome Color Design Matte lipsticks available: Bronze Show, Corset, Lucky Kiss, Pink Preview, Plum Show, Posh Pink, Stylista, and Red Haute.
Unfortunately it is a US exclusive, and also only available at Macy’s and the Lancome website so it is not easy to buy outside the US. I purchased Corset through Shopaholiques (which is a mail forwarding service) and they used their US credit card to order the products for me.

    An impressive share, I just given this onto a colleague who was doing a little analysis on this. And he in fact bought me breakfast because I found it for him.. smile. So let me reword that: Thnx for the treat! But yeah Thnkx for spending the time to discuss this, I feel strongly about it and love reading more on this topic. If possible, as you become expertise, would you mind updating your blog with more details? It is highly helpful for me. Big thumb up for this blog post!
