Stila stay all day liquid lipstick Bellissima: Review

Liquid Lipsticks are a huge trend and every brand is coming up with their own version of a liquid lipstick. There are many formulae which I really want to try, and today I will be reviewing one such formula from the brand Stila. Stila has some amazing liquid lipsticks but when I went to buy, there was only one shade available and I being so desperate to try the formula bought that one. Today I will be reviewing ‘Stila stay all day liquid lipstick Bellissima’.

List of Ingredients:

My Experience with Stila stay all day liquid lipstick Bellissima:

Packaging: I love the way this liquid lipstick looks. Though the packaging is nothing fancy, it comes in a simple cylindrical bottle with a black screw cap attached to a flexible wand. But what I like about the packaging is its sleekness and the fact that the tube is colorless.

Color and Pigmentation: The website describes Bellissima as a Pale neutral pink and it does swatch beautifully. Unfortunately, it looks completely opposite on my lips. The color washes me out and makes me look kind of sick. The pigmentation of the color is amazing. Just apply a single coat and you are good to go.

Texture: During initial application, the formula feels creamy, but being a liquid lipstick, it dries matte and once it is all dried up, it starts to feel dry, but not up to an extent which makes me feel uncomfortable. This particular color though might settle into fine line exaggerating them.

Staying Power: This is the one thing because of which I would want to try some other colors from the collection. I love the staying power of the lipstick. Again, it is not insane 10-12 hours as some other liquid lipsticks but this one too stays on for a long time. Once all dried up, the color is non-transferable which improves its staying power.

Overall Verdict:

I kind of liked the formula but the color looks pathetic on me and I am not sure about the way I’ll be able to use it. Being a liquid lipstick it is not going along well with other lipsticks which I tried in order to make my own custom shade.

Pros of Stila stay all day liquid lipstick Bellissima:

• Great formulation
• Stays on the lips for a long time
• The applicator is flexible which makes application much easier
• A single coat is sufficient for an opaque color
• Travel friendly

Cons of Stila stay all day liquid lipstick Bellissima:

• The shade washes me out
• Might feel dry if the lips are not properly moisturized prior to application
• Availablity might be an issue
• The color might be a little patchy
• Settles into fine lines

Would I buy this product again?

I would love to try some more colors from the range but this particular color, I won’t buy again.

Do I recommend this?

Not until you are very very fair, else the color won’t suit you and will wash you out.

Rating: 2.5/5 (-2.5 for the shade)
