MAKI YIKA Brown Lipstick Matte - Brown Liquid Lipstick Nude 24 Hour Long Lasting Lip Stain, Smudgeproof & Waterproof, Cruelty-Free & Vegan, DINNER TIME

This lipstick is amazing ‼️. It lasted on me all through the night. I ate and drank and the lipstick stayed perfect. I definitely recommend this brand and the seller.

I would not suggest this lipstick it was flakey and opaque. I never achieved a solid white matte look. Opted for a nyx jumbo eye pencil which lasted much longer than this lipstick

It wasn't matte at all. Very wet and not pigmented. It also smelled terrible.

I’m not sure this is worth 4 stars, but I can see that someone else might think of it as 4 or even 5 star, if it didn’t have the extra hype about all the great qualities that it doesn’t really have. I think 3 is more appropriate for my use tbh. I purchased the color “party go,” but the color I received was more like “trust you” or even “MVP Red,” so it’s wayyyyy too red for my taste. Someone who really appreciates a very bold, very red lip might like this (so that’s why I’m giving it one more star than it deserves for my use of it), but I am more subtle than that. I want my lip to look good but natural or nearly-natural, not like I’m trying too hard to be noticed. I don’t really wear any other makeup, so bold red-red lip is too much “pick me” for my taste. It’s a liquid color, so not remotely matte (although it does dry and isn’t super shiny, so maybe?), not “waterproof,” not remotely non-smudging (it even came off on the tissue I used to blow my nose, which had barely grazed my lip). And it’s definitely not “long-lasting.” Any lipstick can last “up to 16 hours” if you’re not going to eat or drink anything. But that definition doesn’t really cover this. It’s just wet lipstick that dries. It’s not bad, I think, but not as extraordinary as the advertising implies. (Gotta say that the lip model in the pics is a good choice; I’d love to have those lips, so I probably succombed to the idea that my lips would look that lucious. Spoiler: they didn’t. They just looked TOO red, too “pick me.” To be fair, it didn’t look bad, even though it was redder than the picture. it’s just not my ideal color and not what I thought I was purchasing. The price pretty good (I purchased it with a discount that doesn’t seem to be offered anymore). And maybe if I put another color over it (adding “dinner time maybe?”) the color might be more what I was after, dark, brownish-red, but a little toned down. Something that could pass as natural. But do I want to buy two colors to MAYBE get what I was hoping for? Positives: The color is very rich, with good coverage. Not wishy-washy. The case is weirdly appealing—which doesn’t help the color, I know, but it FEELS nice. It also comes with a little brush, which I’m gonna guess would help to outline the lip first, since the applicator is pretty blunt otherwise. I’m torn about trying another color with this. I might do it if the price were lower. Otherwise I’ll end up with TWO lip colors I won’t use. Bottom line: not bad, but “Party go” is much more red than it looks in the picture.

I’d say this works. Cons: It smells a bit. Feels dry. Pros: Good coverage. probably better with 2 coats. I was in a hurry so I could only do one coat. Long lasting. This lasted through the night and a meal. I was able to put a shimmer gloss over this and it looked great. This picture was without the gloss.
