Hi everyone,

ColourPop had launched the shade “Aquarius” in the lippie stix and lippie pencil formula a long time back. This shade was so popular that they re-released it in their ultra-matte, ultra-satin and ultra-glossy finish. This shade is perfect if you want to achieve a “Kim Kardashian n*de lip.” Today, I will be reviewing Aquarius in ultra-satin finish. So, let’s see how this shade fared for me.

Price:
$6.00 USD for 0.11 oz.
Product Description:
Meet Aquarius’ new sister, a soft pinky n*de.

How To Use:
Start by prepping the lips with Lippie Primer to moisturize and improve the lips texture. This will provide a smooth surface so that your Ultra Satin Lip goes on smoothly and lasts all day! Next, line with Lippie Pencil to perfect the lip line and fill lips in with Ultra Satin Lip.

My Experience with ColourPop Aquarius Ultra Satin Lip:

Packaging: The packaging is a pretty standard clear tube with holographic writing on the side – ColourPop Ultra Satin. The bottom of the tube specifies the name “Aquarius.” The tube has a silver cap. The applicator is a standard doe-foot type. The product comes in a white cardboard box with the name of the product and the ingredients list.

Shade and Finish:  “Aquarius” is described as a “pinky n*de” color and it indeed is a very cool-toned light pink shade. This shade pulls very light on my light to medium skin tone. This shade does wash me out a little bit; however, when I pair it with a darker lip pencil that’s a shade darker, this color looks great. As you can see in the picture, “Echo Park” is a more suitable n*de lip shade for light to medium skin tones. This shade is perfect to wear when you have a dark smokey eye makeup. When you first apply the lipstick, it will have a satiny finish; however, it turns matte as the time passes by. You can also blot it with paper if you need an instant matte lip look.

Texture and Application:  The texture of this liquid lipstick is a bit mousse-y and liquid-y. The main difference between ultra-matte and ultra-satin is that ultra-satin doesn’t dry completely matte. It dries velvety matte within a few minutes once applied on the lips, so if there are any errors during application, you can easily correct them. The doe-foot applicator makes it easy to fill in the corners of the lips with ease. There is a chemical fragrance to the lipstick which personally doesn’t bother me. Another major difference between the ultra-matte and ultra-satin in that the latter does not give a kiss-proof, budge-proof finish. It does transfer a lot. However, it is very long lasting. It is advisable to exfoliate your lips to achieve a flawless finish. The ultra-satin doesn’t dry your lips and give a smooth finish. They are the most comfortable liquid lipstick.

Pigmentation and Coverage: The lipstick is super pigmented and super opaque. It gives a full coverage even if the lips are pigmented.

Staying Power:  The staying power is really good with this lipstick. It stays on for around 6 hours without the need to reapply. However, it will start to fade if you eat oily meals.

Overall, I am really happy with the colour pay off, the texture and the longevity of the lipstick. The lipstick can be easily removed with an oil-based makeup remover.
