Review: Colourpop Ultra Matte Lip Lumiere 2
A friend gifted me a bag containing an Ultra Matte Lip Lumiere 2 and diet cookies (I’m sorry, the pack of cookies has already been eaten). Usually, I wear lipstick color that I want for my own benefit and I actually love wearing nude colors for my lips that’s why I never felt compelled to try it.
I had never tried dusty mauve color lipstick like Lumiere 2. As mentioned, I’m a fan of nude colors.
So, when I tried it, I was not totally into it but it made me feel like there is nothing wrong in trying out something new.
Here’s what Lumiere 2 looks like:
and here’s a swatch of my skin tone.
It comes with a box of course
My thoughts:
Pros
Ultra Matte Lip Lumiere 2 has good packaging, and consistency has no weird smell, so easy to apply, and delivers a full-coverage pigment-rich color. It lasts for hours without any rub-off.
Cons
My only critique really is that it can not be removed easily. Just like any other matte lipstick, Ultra Matte Lip Lumiere 2 requires a little effort to get the color out of your lips.
Recommendation 
Make sure to moisturize your lips before applying this type of matte lipstick because it makes your lips look dry and uneven.
How to moisturize your lips?
- Grab a soft toothbrush
- Rinse and dry your lips
- Apply a lip balm to get the dead skin off.
- Soothe the skin with a gentle massage
Verdict:
To be honest, the deep dusty mauve shade of Ultra Matte Lip Lumiere 2 is a wearable color but it is more matronly for me and one that I will definitely not wear often. This type of color is ideal for a face with minimal makeup.
