MAKI YIKA Dark Red Lipstick for Women Color Stay Long Lasting Lipsticks, No Smudge Matte Liquid Lipstick Transferproof Cruelty-Free Lip Color | PARTY GO

Nice rich color. Buttery smooth application. Long lasting. It does dry your lips a little. Dark red velvet cake kinda color. It matches my dress perfectly

I put this lip color on, and was super pleased with the color and ease of application. Since it is supposed to be a matte finish, there is no gloss; however, it doesn't look too dry on. The lip color has survived through lunch and a full tumbler of iced coffee, so it definitely has staying power. I noticed that it came with a tiny thin brush in the box, which I presume is to be used for lining the lips before applying in full. I'll try that the next time, but I really don't think lining is necessary. I appreciate that this formula is neither goopy nor sticky. So, in summary, I'm pleased with the color, the application, and the durability and staying power.

I’m not sure this is worth 4 stars, but I can see that someone else might think of it as 4 or even 5 star, if it didn’t have the extra hype about all the great qualities that it doesn’t really have. I think 3 is more appropriate for my use tbh.I purchased the color “party go,” but the color I received was more like “trust you” or even “MVP Red,” so it’s wayyyyy too red for my taste. Someone who really appreciates a very bold, very red lip might like this (so that’s why I’m giving it one more star than it deserves for my use of it), but I am more subtle than that. I want my lip to look good but natural or nearly-natural, not like I’m trying too hard to be noticed. I don’t really wear any other makeup, so bold red-red lip is too much “pick me” for my taste.It’s a liquid color, so not remotely matte (although it does dry and isn’t super shiny, so maybe?), not “waterproof,” not remotely non-smudging (it even came off on the tissue I used to blow my nose, which had barely grazed my lip). And it’s definitely not “long-lasting.” Any lipstick can last “up to 16 hours” if you’re not going to eat or drink anything. But that definition doesn’t really cover this. It’s just wet lipstick that dries. It’s not bad, I think, but not as extraordinary as the advertising implies. (Gotta say that the lip model in the pics is a good choice; I’d love to have those lips, so I probably succombed to the idea that my lips would look that lucious. Spoiler: they didn’t. They just looked TOO red, too “pick me.” To be fair, it didn’t look bad, even though it was redder than the picture. it’s just not my ideal color and not what I thought I was purchasing.The price pretty good (I purchased it with a discount that doesn’t seem to be offered anymore). And maybe if I put another color over it (adding “dinner time maybe?”) the color might be more what I was after, dark, brownish-red, but a little toned down. Something that could pass as natural. But do I want to buy two colors to MAYBE get what I was hoping for?Positives: The color is very rich, with good coverage. Not wishy-washy. The case is weirdly appealing—which doesn’t help the color, I know, but it FEELS nice. It also comes with a little brush, which I’m gonna guess would help to outline the lip first, since the applicator is pretty blunt otherwise.I’m torn about trying another color with this. I might do it if the price were lower. Otherwise I’ll end up with TWO lip colors I won’t use.Bottom line: not bad, but “Party go” is much more red than it looks in the picture.

This is such a beautiful color. Goes on smooth and lasts a long time. Reasonably priced and fast shipment. Yes, I will purchase again.

Love the color...stays on well, kind of stains the lips so the color remains on longer. I put lip gloss on top and it worked perfectly as it is a matte and I prefer shiny.

Update: I originally gave a 1 star review because I thought they had given me the wrong shade, but the turn around for a new replacement was immediate and even though the new one sent is still not the darker shade I remember, it’s still a beautiful shade of red. I’m wondering if they did something different to the shade or maybe I’m remembering incorrectly. I might go with the next darker shade next time. Beautiful vibrant colors. It’s a little difficult to remove, but I just use baby oil. Also it does rub off but it’s so beautiful I don’t care, I just reapply.OLD REVIEW: I absolutely LOVED the color Trust you, but as soon as I ran out I had seen MVP Red and I thought I would give it a try. I like it but I didn't love it, so I decided I would order TRUST YOU again, and I did but when I put it on it was like I was wearing mvp Red again, the color was identical to mvp red. I was disappointed. It was not the same shade of Trust You that I had purchased before. The only thing I can figure is that I got sent the wrong one, considering the only thing that distinguishes each one is a tiny sticker with a name of the shade. I will change the review if I can get the right shade.

Pro: The color is fabulous! This dries like a lip stain, but wasn't too drying for me, given I prefer a matte lipstick.Con: it is NOT smudge resistance, drink proof, kiss proof, and does smudge when you eat something. Which means, its NOT long-lasting. Otherwise I would have given this a higher rating. The color is fantastic for evening wear!
