Kylie Matte Lip Kit – Kristen | Review & Swatches

I really like Kylie Lip Kit formulas and I love almost every shade in their collection. In today’s review I am reviewing this beautiful shade called ‘Kristen’. A lot of you after seeing my instagram post kept asking about this shade. This is one of those shades which you can wear during day as well as night. Each Kylie Lip Kit contains 1 Matte Liquid Lipstick (0.11 fl oz./oz. liq / 3.25 ml) and 1 Pencil Lip Liner (net wt./ poids net .03 oz/ 1.0g).

Kristen is a warm brown berry. These retails for USD$29.99 each. This can be purchased online from Kylie Cosmetics website here. This ultra-long wearing lip liner has a creamy texture that glides across the lips for a very easy and comfortable application.

The #KylieCosmetics LipKit is your secret weapon to create the perfect ‘Kylie Lip.’ Each Lip Kit comes with a Matte Liquid Lipstick and matching Lip Liner. Kristen is a warm brown berry.

This ultra-long wearing lip liner has a creamy texture that glides across the lips for a very easy and comfortable application. The Lip Liner sharpens easily in most standard sized sharpeners – just make sure your sharpener is not dull!

Do you know ?
This lip shade – Kristen ! is named after @krisjenner

This shade is also considered to be the dupe of ABH –  Anastasia Beverly Hills – Kathryn.  Though Kathryn has a more pink berry undertone than Kristen. Looks kind of similar upon application.

The Liquid Matte Lipstick has high intensity pigment for an instant bold matte lip. The extremely long wearing lipstick contains moisturizing ingredients for a comfortable, emollient and silky feel that does not dry your lips out.

Packaging – Products are packaged in a white plastic box with Kylie’s Lip Logo. Each pack contains a lip liner and a liquid lipstick. The glass tube features a black cap with lipstick dripping from sides. Very pretty tube with a doe foot applicator.

Lip Liner  – is very creamy and is highly pigmented. It’s so easy to apply and has the exact same shade of the  lipstick. Only con I noticed is it has to be sharpened. Though it gets easily sharpened using most standard sized sharpeners, I find it very inconvenient to sharpen it all the time.

Fragrance – These have a vanilla fragrance to it. I quite like the smell. Upon application and once the lipstick dries, The scent is not noticeable.

Kylie Cosmetics Kristen Lip Kit Forumla, Pigmentation, Longevity, Shade – They feel very very light upon application. Even if you layer it it dries pretty quickly without flakes etc. They dries to a matte finish. Super easy to apply and glides on to lips with ease. They sit comfortable on lips and it’s an extremely long wearing formula.

Like other matte lip kits from Kylie Cosmetics- This too don’t transfer to tea cups and glasses. Survives a full meal too. You barely have to touch up! Such a good formula. Liquid Lipsticks from other brands dry out the lips too much. This one is quite comfortable. Not very drying!

Now, If you have extremely dry lips – I recommend you use a good hydrating lip balm/salve prior to application and also make sure you exfoliate your lips prior to applying this matte liquid lipstick.

 

Here are the swatches of Kristen – Matte Lip Kit

 Ginger is a warm brown berry shade that is universally flattering. This has become my go-to shade these days. I find it doesn’t emphasize fine lines on lips much. The formula is really good and the vanilla scent fades away upon application.

These dries to a comfort matte formula and stays on the lips for a really long time. In natural light with/without flash & in artificial light with flash – It shows the true color. I use my cleansing balm to take this off my lips. There is no shine/sheen to this shade and it’s completely smudge and transfer proof.

 

Now, it’s time for the lip swacthes. All pictures are taken in natural day light without flash. Pictures taken with flash are mentioned on the picture itself.

Isn’t this shade pretty ? This berry shade is perfect for a day wear.

Taken after 5 hours of wearing the shade – I noticed the product faded a little from the outer part of the lips.

So, That’s about Kylie Lip Kit – Kristen. This is one of those best selling shades from Kylie’s collection. I really love this shade. Let me know if you want me to swatch it along with an of the colourpop dupes of it!
