I have this lipstick for a while and I don't think I talk enough about it. This is, without a doubt, one of the prettiest shades of pink that I have ever encountered, at least for my complexion. It has a retro matte finish, which means it is extra dry.

Flat Out Fabulous is described as "bright plum matte". It is super long-wearing and highly pigmented. It is relatively opaque, but for more evenness I like to apply a second layer. This formula is absolutely stunning. It's quite drying on the lips, but it looks gorgeous. You need to exfoliate your lips beforehand, and make sure to apply a little bit of lip balm for a smoother application.

The only issue I had was, when removing it stained my lips and trying to rub the stain with harsh makeup remover was an impossible task. It took at least four hours to completely erase all traces. Despite that, I really love the color and the matte finish, so for that reason I would look away from the fact that it stains, which sometimes can look kinda cute.

Overall, this lipstick is incredibly unique. It's very feminine and fun. I love the shade and the texture. It looks beautiful on all skin tones. This is the perfect choice if you like bold lip colors, but isn't ready to wear green or blue in public.

What do you think of this retro matte formula?
