Tip: Lipliner helps extend the wear & keeps your lipstick from feathering. When choosing a lipliner shade, match the lipliner to your lipstick shade or match your lipliner to the shade of your lips which will work with all your lipstick shades. Create a custom lipcolor by using a contrasting lipliner and lipstick shade."

Overall Thoughts:
Milani Cosmetics does it again. We hate to refer to anything done by Milani as a drugstore brand because the quality of the formula and pigmentation is outstanding. So we have opted out of calling it "drugstore brand" cause that tends to resonate as cheap and have decided to go with affordable. There are currently 16 shades of the Color Statement Moisture Matte Lipsticks available for purchase on the Milani Cosmetics website. Matte Naked made its debut around January 2015. I applied Matte Naked this morning on my way to work and while I was driving I realized I forgotten my coffee. Let me tell you something, if I have not had my coffee just don't talk to me cause you'll probably be eaten alive. Luckily, I found a drive-thru Starbucks and proceeded to order the mammoth size. As I took some sips, I noticed a little bit of a color transfer but just chalked it off to eh I bought this at CVS what can you really expect. When I got to my final destination, I went to reapply and noticed that wasn't necessary at all. This color last about 4.5 hours on me before I deemed a reapplication was a must. Throughout the day, I never had that dried out feeling of wearing a matte lipstick. It was like a second skin. I would recommend using these for an everyday basis. Hours after taking this lipstick off, I have noticed that my lips still feel moisturized and smooth. The only con I would say which can vary from person to person is if you do suffer from cracked lips this formulation will settle in the lines. It is not a horrible look but you won't get that smooth look that everyone desires. A remedy to this is to exfoliate your lips as well as moisturize with a balm either the night before or right before application. I did not experience any feathering with this shade so I didn't use a lipliner. The gold packing is adorable and durable. I had a horrible gasping experience when my adorable puppy decided to be possessed by the devil himself and knock it off the table and it hit the floor. Thankfully for his sake, the tube and lipstick are in one piece. If you are someone that is sensitive to smells and likes to know the smell situation before purchasing something, don't fret it smells like vanilla and cake batter decided to have a baby. Sorry, I may be a little hungry. So all in all, we will be repurchasing this in the future as well as trying to collect all the other shades for review. Please note that when it comes to lipstick colors the shade will always be different from person to person so don't get frustrated when you see a color in a picture or on your friend and it doesn't look the same on you. Trust me when I say this, there is a shade out there that is your soulmate. Happy Hunting!
