SWATCHES & COMPARISONS

*please note that due to the difference in undertones, the shades may look brighter or darker to different people.

For your reference here are my shades:
NC25 (MAC Pro Longwear Foundation) / 1.5 (MAC Matchmaster) Y225 (MUFE Ultra HD) / Light 4 Deauville (NARS All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation)

ASHTON

Described as a mid-tone yellow brown with a flat matte finish. This is a new colour for my collection and despite the warm tone, I am loving it. I guess you can never have too much brown lipstick, right? But in my case, I can never have too much lipstick. PERIOD. 😆

I love wearing this with brown shades on my lids and a bit of a glow on the cheeks so the look won’t look too flat.

KATHRYN

Described as a brown berry with a flat matte finish. This shade is hands down, GORGEOUS. I am not much into brown hues because I feel that they make me look mature but hey, this and Ashton are some of the best-looking shades that I have tried.

Again, it is warm tone but I like it very much. You can match it with eyeshadows that are red, maroon, browns and even plums.

Berry’s Lip Care Tips:

• Exfoliate your lips.
  • You can use your toothbrush
  • DIY with brown sugar or
  • use a lip scrubs that are available in the beauty stores
• Moisturise your lips 
  • You can use a lip balm and you can also do
  • lip masks (though I don’t see a lot of brands offering this, but as soon as I find one, I will update you guys!)
• When REMOVING any matte lipstick:
  • Use a waterproof makeup remover.
    • I use BIODERMA Sensibio H20 or Sephora’s Triple Action Cleansing Water  because they are great for sensitive skin.
  • Some are using olive oil or coconut oil.
  • Use a cotton and gently wipe your lips. Others are also using Q-tips.

Price:

• Each ABH Liquid Lipstick is sold at 20 USD. 
• These can be found in Carousell Singapore and sellers are giving it between 34 – 40 SGD.

OVERALL:

PROs:

• Rich and great colour payoff
  • Very opaque and pigmented; just 1-2 swipes will do, otherwise it may feel thick and heavy.
• Easy to use and apply.
• Long lasting/long wearing enough
  • It did not crumble or becomes powdery after eating and drinking; unless it’s very oily.
• Light on the lips.
• No feathering even without using a lip liner and despite having meals.
• Very minimal transfer (as seen on coffee cups, drinking glasses and straws)
• Made in the USA.

CONs: 

DRYNESS 

• My lips felt dry after 2 hours of wear but my lips did not crack.
• After meals, the lipstick faded from the inner part of the mouth. So if you are wearing this on a dinner date/gathering, it is better to bring the lippie with you so you can retouch after.
• Though this is something that is expected from flat matte lipsticks, but I noticed that my lips were drier with Ashton than the rest of the shades that I used.
• These are also why you have to prep your lips properly before and after wearing matte lipsticks

AVAILABILITY

• The brand is not available locally (SG) BUT as mentioned, they are sold in Carousell SG. I ordered these from Pingbong.
