Makeup, Beauty and More: Shiseido Fall 2013 Lacquer Rouge

Shiseido's Fall 2013 Collection features six new shades of the Lacquer Rouge ($25; shiseido.com) liquid lip color. Lacquer Rouge is rich, full coverage, glossy and very comfortable to wear, even on my very dry lips. *Press Samples

RD314 Deep Coral, is a warm coral with a hint of pink - its my favorite among the two and very wearable even as a full coverage lipstick. RD413 Sanguine is a rich red, completely opaque and perfect for a bold pop of color. I've stayed away from liquid lipsticks with a lacquered finish because of how high maintenance they are. Shiseido's is probably the most light weight, comfortable ones I've tried and absolutely love how it doesn't dry my lips out or bleed after a few hours. These lip colors have an almost gel-like quality that help the color go on evenly, and make it easy to work with as a sheer wash or as a richer layer of color. The formula isn't transfer resistant, but the color is very long lasting and leaves behind a soft stain after a good 6-7 hours.The packaging is nice and small, very convenient to just throw into any makeup bag. There's also a subtle plumping effect I see from these, but no tingle and most importantly, no strong scent or flavor from the lip color. Overall, amazing!
