The product

It’s official. The hunt for the perfect matte lipstick is over. Revlon has answered all our prayers with their latest Revlon ColorStay Limitless Matte™ Lipstick. Launching exclusively into Chemist Warehouse (with other retailers on the horizon), this liquid matte lip is the perfect lazy person makeup must-have.

If applying your lipstick as you run out the door and then totally forgetting you’ve applied it is your go-to approach, then the Revlon ColorStay Limitless Matte™ Lipstick is the one for you. With a specially designed lip-hugging applicator, this lipstick knows how to coat all the contours and curves of your lips. Loading with lip-loving ingredients such as triple hyaluronic acid and cranberry extract, your lips will be proudly showing off the bold lip without any of the uncomfortable ‘dryness’ associated with a traditional liquid lipstick. 

So, if you’re ready to apply your budge-proof lipstick and go about your day, then this is the one you need.

The panel

BEAUTYcrew sent the Revlon ColorStay Limitless Matte™ Lipstick to a panel of on-the-go beauty-loving women aged 24-39. 

The lowdown

The long-lasting lusciousness: Our Review Crew® members could not stop raving about the staying power of this liquid lipstick. All-day wear is no joke when the bold colour is still as vibrant come cleansing time. Some members said they even needed to crack out a heavier duty cleanser to remove all remnants of the budge-proof bold colour. 

How hyperpigmented the colour is: Going hand-in-hand with the long-wearing effects is how pigmented the entire (16 colours) range is. What use would a long-lasting lip be without the impactful bold colour payoff to go with it? Because of this, our Review Crew® found that they didn’t need to apply much product to get the desired look. And even more importantly, they weren’t continuously topping it up to keep the colour fresh. 

The non-drying (yet not sticky) formula: Now, we all know that uncomfortable, slightly-sticky, but still super drying feeling that comes with matte lip colours. Well, get ready to throw that memory out the window.  With lip-loving ingredients in the mix, our members we’re pleased to see the formula dries down to an immovable (yet hydrating) formula. The members found this  oh-so-comfortable liquid lip lightweight and protective thanks to the inclusion of hyaluronic acid.

The verdict

“I was sceptical when first trying the Revlon ColorStay Limitless Matte Lipstick because matte lipsticks are usually very drying and always manage to peel on my lips. To my surprise, this one was different! It is lightweight, has a creamy and smooth texture, with little to no scent; making it extremely pleasurable to apply and wear! The Revlon ColorStay Limitless Matte Lipstick brings a perfect pop of colour to your make-up look. The long-lasting formula works! It lasted for hours without the need to be constantly replying to maintain the colour. When I ate or drank something, it didn't transfer, there was also no seeping/bleeding of the product to nearby skin around my mouth. I will definitely be recommending this product to my friends and family - everyone needs to have this in their life!”

“I hate reapplying lipstick during the day and even more at events and the Revlon ColorStay Limitless Matte Lipstick lives up to its name - the colour stays! I applied it once in the morning and after the first day, had the confidence to know I wouldn’t have to reapply it. For me, it even lasts through the morning coffee and lunch. There is no reapplying, no colour transfer, bleeding or fading - it is gorgeous to use. The colour is bright and vibrant, it is easy to apply, and most importantly, and unlike other matte lipsticks, it doesn't dry out my lips. For the first time using a matte lipstick, I didn’t even feel like I had to apply a balm underneath. The packaging is really cute and easy to fit in a small bag for events. Plus, the perfect amount of product comes out on the applicator which makes it quick and simple to apply in the morning on the way out the door.”

“It is a super lightweight liquid lipstick, and isn't super mousse-y. This means it feels like basically nothing on the lips and isn't drying or powdery like most matte liquid lipsticks. I was really quite impressed with this especially as it felt very comfortable. It does take a few minutes to completely dry down, but once it does, it is not going to budge or bleed. You'll definitely need to remove this with some good micellar water, eye and lip remover or an oil/balm cleanser. This lipstick also has a very minimal scent which I love as I'm not a fan of overly scented lip products.I also really enjoyed the shape of the applicator as it has a point to it - this made it easy to line my lips without things getting messy. Overall, such a great liquid lipstick.”
