Max Factor Velvet Matte Review & Swatch

Max Factor says…Max Factor has created a new matte lipstick with a unique formula combination that replaces the usual powders found in matte lipsticks with a new reflective pigment – this delivering the diffused matte effect without compromising on the feel. Easily applied without dragging, the Velvet Mattes Lipstick Collection give a beautiful matte look with a velvety soft feel.

The Macho Mom says… Am I the only one getting bored with matte lipsticks already? I miss the days where lips were lush, glossy, and kissable. Most matte lipsticks available in the market are drying. It makes our lips look saturated with color but equally dry. It’s been fun for sometime but it gets tiring. I’m already expecting the same old result. DRY. However, upon swiping these on my puckers, it’s not “matte” but not flat. It has sheen similar to creme lipsticks but it stays on longer. It felt comfortable to wear and it’s not sticky when I close my lips together.

They mentioned their secret ingredient is more mica. Mica is a pigment that provides subtle sheen on cosmetics without looking overly glittery.
