Hi loves, I have been testing out Illamasqua Antimatter Lipsticks in shade Cosmic and Asteroid (4.15g). These come is a square black tubes, which are easy to store. I like in the bottom of the lipstick tube has the sticker of the color the lipstick is. I like to see the shade without opening it. I also feel it's true to the actual color.
The formula of these is semi matte and these are long lasting. These are beautifully pigmented lipsticks, which don't dry out the lips. The formula is not as hydrating as cream lipsticks might be, but it's not as drying as liquid lipsticks are. It's somewhere between. I like to wear these on days when I want to let my lips rest from liquid lipstick. I personally prefer a long lasting lip product. I feel safe it's not moving around and I don't need to constantly reapply it.
On the left you can see both shades swatched. Cosmic is pinky nude and my favorite shade out of the two I own. I feel it last better on my lips and it goes well with different makeup looks.
Asteroid is brick red, which I use only with lip liner. I don't trust darker lip colors in a pullet lipstick form, plus it's not completely matte lipstick. The fading is more noticeable with this color, when I have had a drink or something to eat.
Ingredients: Mica, Pentaerythrityl, Tetraisostearate, Polyethylene, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Octyldodecanol, Isocetyl Stearate, Silica, Vp / Eicosene Copolymer, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Caprylyl Glycol, Oryzanol, Tocopheryl Acetate, Tocopheryl, Glycate, Glycer, Glycer, Glycol, Glycol, Lecite Oxide, Citric Acid [+/- May Contain / Peut Contenir: Red 7 Lake (Ci 15850), Yellow 5 Lake (Ci 19140), Blue 1 Lake (Ci 42090), Red 22 Lake (Ci 45380), Red 28 Lake ( Ci 45410), Red 28 Lake (Ci 75470), Iron Oxides (Ci 77491, Ci 77492), Carmine (Ci 75470), Titanium Dioxide (Ci 77891)].
The overall staying power of the lipsticks is good, considering these are not completely matte. The longevity depends how often I drink or eat, specially with the red shade.
There is no noticeable scent to these lipsticks or taste. These didn't bleed or moved around on me. I didn't have any issues with these, except I needed to touch up the darker shade between meals.
I'm very happy with these lip colors, specially Cosmic. Its so beautiful everyday shade and lately I have been more into pinky nudes. Cosmic is so worth checking out :)
Have you tried their lipsticks before?
