Okay, I love these matte lipsticks, but I wish they would restock the red as I've been waiting for that shade. The quality is great, and they are very pigmented. Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase.
So I do makeup professionally and just wanted to add some items from a small busy business and I'm happy I did. So the color I really wanted was the red which a client recommended but they've been sold out for some time now 😔 but the purple lipstick is true to color and really turned heads. I'm a happy camper to say the least. Thank you viva Koutour Cosmetics ❤️ Samantha
I ordered the Brown Sugar matte lipstick, the color was just as advertised. Overall, I'm very happy with this order and highly recommend this product if you're looking for bold colors.
