MAKI YIKA Purple Lipstick for Women Color Stay Long Lasting Lipsticks, No Smudge Matte Liquid Lipstick Transferproof Cruelty-Free Lip Color, Pearl Purple

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.

Love the color. The wand broke 2 times, but the company replaced the full tubes. The color sticks like glue, and I love the texture. This company is great to work with!

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.

I got this in black, it takes multiple coats to make it look like the advertisement photo. I did one coat to test it. It looks good but you can still see the pink of your lips under the color. It dries tacky, has mild transfer to whatever you put your lips on (straws, tapes, etc.). It doesn't stain and wipes off cleanly with a baby wipes, make up wipe and a wet wash rag. Definitely not for long term use without reapplying however, it is fun to wear and looks pretty decent. So if your looking for something cheap and cute, this is for you. If you want something more quality and less tacky with transfer, definitely not your style of lipstick.

This review applies to color Rose Pink.This color is beautiful! Especially pops out when I add gloss after applying As for the Vivid Magenta , the color advertised is completely wrong. The non applied color is NOT as advertised. It is an Orangey pink tone. Applied it and it is absolutely NOTHING as advertised. Perhaps an issue with mislabeling. I might reorder to see is another Vivid Magenta is AS ADVERTISED. Thank you.

Love the color! I get complimented every time I have it on and best part it lasts all night! No need to reapply!
