That I have had problems with many matte lipstick formulas drying my lips, may come as no surprise. For that very reason I am often reluctant to subject my lips to their drying effects, and have generally preferred more forgiving formulas. However, Shu Uemura is no typical beauty brand, and thus their matte lipsticks are far from ordinary. In fact, Shu Uemura Rouge Unlimited Supreme Matte Lipsticks are nothing, if not extraordinary.
Unlike many matte lipsticks, which often have dry textures, Shu's Rouge Unlimited Supreme Mattes have an irresistible creamy texture that is velvety smooth. They glide across the lips effortlessly, deposit color evenly and neither feather, nor bleed. Furthermore, the formula is moisturizing, it boasts the perfect amount of cushion for comfort, and rather than feeling heavy on the lips it feels light and emollient. These lipsticks also offer buildable coverage, and can be sheered out for a wash of color, or applied in multiple passes for full opacity. Rather than appearing dry and flat, these mattes have a little more dimension without straying from the matte finish.
I usually get several hours of wear per application, and while this formula lacks the same level of longevity as the very dry matte lipsticks on the market, the Supreme Mattes are so lovely that it is no bother to reapply them more often. In my estimation, this is the perfect matte formula, and definitely my very favorite.

The middle color is very pretty!
ReplyDeleteI think so too, and it actually mixes really well with the nude on the left as well!
DeleteGee, that's so wonderful to hear, Helen, that these mattes are non-drying! And the colors are so bright and summery. The price isn't bad either! I used to wear Shu Uemura red lipstick years ago in New York. They had totally clear packaging back then. I love these silver and clear tubes
ReplyDeleteThese mattes have the most lovely texture, and they feel emollient and wonderful on the lips. I agree that the price isn't bad at all.
DeleteBG934 looks like my kind of color. I don't tend to buy matte lipsticks though I do wear them. I wish Shu were back at Nordstrom for me to test colors.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is just your type of color! This is the nicest matte formula that I have worn, and it is definitely worth trying! I know, I wish that they still had a counter at Nordstrom too! The were the days!
Delete934 is such a stunning everyday shade! I have to try Shu lippies.
ReplyDeleteIt really is the perfect everyday shade, I agree! You definitely need to try Shu lippies, they are fantastic!
DeleteI love how soft these look in the swatches. I think I'd love the feel of these on the lips. It's been years since i've used anything from Shu, but I need to check these out.
ReplyDeleteThey are so soft and cream, and they feel so amazing on the lips! I definitely recommend trying one of them!
