\"\"<\/a>
\nMarlena (Makeup Geek<\/a><\/em>) recently came out with her own line of lipsticks. I already was a huge fan of her eyeshadows,
\nSo when I heard she released some new lipsticks as well, I couldn’t wait to try some of them out!
\nFirst up for closer examination: Ravishing<\/em> …<\/p>\n


\nLet’s start with the packaging, shall we?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a>

\nMakeup Geek lipsticks come in a cute cardboard\/paper box. I love this! Normally, only expensive brands tend to do this.<\/p>\n

The actual packaging of the lipstick itself is a sleek, black case with a shiny flower design on the lid.
\nWhat I really like about the lid is that on top it’s see-through, so you can easily see which lipstick you need to grab.<\/p>\n

Other than that it’s just a really sleek, simple design. You can’t really go wrong there… Unless you hate shiny flowers.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nI love the pigmentation and color of ‘Ravishing<\/em>‘ – It’s a stunning bright, matte red with pink undertones.<\/p>\n

Yes.. It is very pigmented, But with that comes that it also is quite drying on the lips.
\nIt’s a matte finish, I adore matte finishes, but this is a little too matte for my taste.<\/p>\n

Don’t get me wrong, I love how matte ‘Ravishing<\/em>‘ is, But I just don’t see myself being able to wear it all day long.
\nI do think it’d be the perfect matte red lipstick for a shoot. The extreme matte finish gives it a high-fashion feeling,
\nand your model only wears it for 2-3 hours max.<\/p>\n

I’m also not a big fan of the smell. It has a hint of that typical clown-makeup smell..
\nThis does go away after like 3 minutes of wearing the lipstick on your lips.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nSo, What’s the verdict?<\/em>
\nI like this lipstick! It’s a gorgeous (extreme)matte, bright red. But I wouldn’t want to wear it all day long.
\nThe pigmentation is a dream, and I can totally see myself using this on shoots a lot in the future.<\/p>\n

Keep in mind that this is just the first Makeup Geek lipstick I have tried, I don’t know how the others compare.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Makeup Geek Lipsticks are available at MakeupGeek.com<\/em><\/a> and retail for $7,99 USD \/ \u20ac6,38 EUR<\/em><\/p>\n
