Shiseido Modern Matte, Visionary Gel & Lacquer Ink Lipcolors

Shiseido has always had some of the best lippies , in my opinion. I have several that have been go- tos for a long time , ones that work every day .

Now the brand has upped the ante with a relaunch new formulas and repackaging.

There are three new lipcolor types - matte , satin, shine and all are that good.

Semi nude, Peep Show, Flame, Velvet Rope, J Pop, Cyber Beige , Mirror Mauve

Modern Matte Powder Lipstick is a creamy, non dry matte that is comfy and flexible on lips. It has full pigment with long wear that leaves a light stain after after a few hours on me with drinking, light nibbling . The case is a heavy and solid with a strong magnetic cap . ( $26)

Visionary Gel Lipstick - This has a truly weightless feel with a cooling sensation on application. This gel based formula feels great on lips and has a satin finish with a little sheen. It's very creamy/moisturzing with medium pigment. The formula means it's not very long wear but I still get a couple hours from it. The bullet here is very soft, so you need to not press to hard with it, or turn it out far from the slim case. Also each stick is packaged inside a silver foil wrapper in the box. Superfluous ? Yes. Cool ? Also yes. ( $ 26)

Lacquer Ink Lipshine - This is the updated version of the older Lacquer Rouge, which I loved. This gives big, bold pigment in one swipe, feels light and hydrating on lips with a decent shine that's just below a gloss . This is a lippie that has presence and makes for a fab look.($26)
