The Artist Rouge Creme lipsticks are extremely pigmented and opaque! The formula is very creamy and smooth, it feels comfortable on the lips. All the shades have a slightly glossy creme finish, none of them are shimmery or frosty.
I would say that the formula is thicker than NARS Audacious lipsticks, but still very creamy. They are less slippery than MAC Cremesheen and Amplified lipsticks, so they are less likely to gather into fine lines and feather into lines around the mouth. The texture is a bit more creamy than BITE Beauty Amuse Bouche lipsticks.
The light nudes (C103, C104, C105) wore well for 4 hours, while the dark nudes (C106, C107, C108, C211) lasted 5-6 hours on me. The other shades (C407, C406, C506) wore well for more than 7 hours! If you have vertical lines on your lips, please note that the shades C103 and C104 tend to settle into fine lines as the day progresses.
My top picks would be C105, C104, C211 and C506! But I love C107 and C407 too... OMG I can't choose!! (Click here to buy one of these lipsticks)
