Illamasqua Kontrol

This lipstick was the first item that I fell in love with when I discovered the brand Illamasqua. The matte, bluish violet shade will definitely attract attention to your lips! Isn't it absolutely lovely? :)

It is so damn hard to give an overall grade to a product. The product overall can be great but still have some flaws that would have to be mentioned. Therefore, I decided to do a new grading system where different variables of the product will be graded separately. What do you guys think about this? Is it more helpful than an overall grade of the product?

The formula is thick and nice but somehow the lipstick manages to go on rather sheer anyway. For full opacity you have to go over your lips 2-3 times. Blot your lips in between the applications. This creates a long-lasting result.
Although it is a matte lipstick I feel that it is very moisturizing on my lips, which is a big + in my book. After a couple of hours, though, I begin to feel the dryness.

To whom would I recommend this lipstick? To anyone who wants a high-quality lipstick in an unusual shade.

Price: £16 at Illamasqua's Website
