Vincent Longo Velvet Riche Lip Lacquer in Felicity

Vincent Longo Velvet Riche Lip Lacquer ($24; vincentlongo.com) is a fairly new launch, a pigmented, rich lip lacquer with a semi matte finish. It comes in three colors, ranging from a soft peachy nude to a deep, rich red. Felicity is a peachy nude, there’s no shimmer or glitter and the color leans more peach on my pigmented lips. Felicity is very pigmented on its own and good enough to even my natural lip pigmentation. It is quite a comfortable formula, feels better with a layer of balm underneath, but not too drying on its own. The applicator is really nice and makes for precise application. Overall, if you aren’t too comfortable with a traditional matte formula, these are better, a more modern matte formula that isn’t drying and is quite comfortable to wear, lasting a good 5-6 hours. It also leaves behind a subtle stain, which I'm assuming will be stronger with the darker colors.
