Most Helpful Positive Review I love this lipstick! I have never tried Milani cosmetics before. This was my first venture into this line of cosmetics. I am reviewing shade "01 I am fabulous". The color that was pictured on the end of the lipstick tube looked darker than anything I've worn before. I lean towards the nudes and more natural colors. The color sticker appeared a very dark wine color. But, to my surprise when I applied the lipstick, it wasn't quite as dark as I had expected. And, for me- it's the perfect color. A bit darker than I normally would choose, but I am so glad I went out of my comfort zone. I love it! It's a fun shade and one that I am comfortable with wearing on a daily basis. So, besides the color, let's talk matte lipsticks. I hate them. They dry my lips out. I have never ever found a matte lipstick that I like. They stick to your lips, are often very difficult to glide across. But, to my surprise, the Milani Bold Matte was very easy to apply. And, my lips have not felt dried out. I do sometimes apply a chapstick-like product first if my lips are feeling dry that day. Then, I will apply the Milani Bold Matte. Still goes on easily. The only con to this product is that the color does not last more than a few hours. That being said- it has still earned a coveted place in my makeup collection. I will be wearing this again and again.
Most Helpful Critical Review Not wearable, and I love the brand too At first I thought this would be really fun to try as I got a color I would never really wear. But the color itself turned out to be a really fun rockstar bold vibe, just as they advertise. The problem is the formula sucks. I love Milani and always find a use for makeup, especially theirs, but this is as hard as a rock, isn't creamy, smudges, hard to apply. It has fallout like a bad eye shadow. I did play with it and tried to blend a little over my lips to be subtle, it was better but very drying, I used it as blush and it looked okay but kinda messed up my foundation. Overall probably the worst lip product I've tried. I hope they remodel this.

The line of Milani products seems to be getting smaller. I love these products and wish you kept it better stocked, especially the mechanical lip liner which always seems to be sold out.
Shade looks nothing like online 1
Jamie from Austin, TX
Purchased #14 I Am Bold. The color here looks completely different then in person.
Shade a bit off but I wanna buy more 4
Kylie from NC
I bought the shade I Am Happy, which is described as a warm coral, but it has really strong pink undertones on me. I really love the formula tho, it feels like a true matte without being dry and the pigment is even. If it was a true coral tone I would give it 5 stars!
Best black lipstick 5
Kay Kay from AZ
I have been looking for a good,decent priced black lipstick for a while and this one is great. Long lasting, matte and powerful. I love it. (Shade "invincible")
Powerful statement lip 5
NICOLE from Birmingham, Al
I put on with a lip brush to make sure it's blended well. And put the Amore matte color leather on top and it still is comfortable

Tampered proof Seal Needed on each lipstick tube! 4
Teri from Undisclosed
Greetings! I love the lipstick, however, I was surprised that it came without a security seal over the top and bottom. Anyone could have opened the tubs and used them. With the virus/COVID19 each tube should have tampered proof, but they were not. That is my reason for 4 stars.
perfect! 5
Emmie from GA
I got the color I Am Strong and it's so great. Definitely differs from the Milani satin lip formula. i hate when I pay different prices for the same type of product, but there's no issue with that here.
I do not recommend if looking for a matte lipstick 1

I would definitely purchase again. 5

So beautiful! 5

I'm usually a lip gloss kinda girl, but I wanted to try something different. I bought the I am Smart shade and its definitely a my lips but better look. The formula is really great too! Not thick or drying. Its matte, but doesnt shrivel up my lips. I've been drinking coffee all morning and the color has stayed well on my lips. I have to go grocery shopping later today and I expect the way its lasted on my lips so far - I think it should last well under my mask and definitely doesnt seem like it will smudge all over my face. It looks/feels to me kind of like it sinks into my lips and looks like a natural lip stain, I think thats why it lasts so long.
I love this! 5
Simone from Brooklyn, NY
I wish I found this sooner. This is a perfect dupe for Pat McGrath Flesh 3. Except better. It is very creamy and comfortable. Though it is not transfer-proof it fades evenly and beautifully. Definitely WOC-friendly. Milani has once again exceeded my expectations. I hope this is never discontinued.
Comes off Easy 2
Bethany from Online
I love how pigmented it was but I have very moisturized lips making the lipstick come off one the inside of my lips. You can feel the lipstick on your lips and it dries them out a little. Very frustrated as I love the color.
Just as Good as High End! 5
Carla from Dallas, TX
Milani's lipsticks have filled the void left by MAC's; I quit buying all things MAC when they lost their cruelty-free status some years back. Milani lipsticks are every bit as creamy, smooth, well-pigmented, comfortable, pleasantly scented, and just all-around GOOD as MAC's.
I'd love to see way more shades!
Not a fan of this lipstick 3
Suri from Queens New York
Very pigmented but it's very matte also , I suggest anyone using this prep your lips first
Would buy again 4
Debbie from Undisclosed
Like the color and how it goes on
Why oh why did I wait so long to get this!!! 5
Prmari1 from New York
Love the formula, the color range, and the smell. I normally buy high end lipsticks but during the ulta sale I figured I try some products with high ratings. Well... I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this one and would like to get others. Love it!!
Didn't work for me 3
D from Ca
This product did not work for me- the color in the photo did not translate well to the color I received. I was not able to use this product and will return. The quality of the product is likely fine.
Maybe I would repurchase for the price. 4
Alma from Undisclosed
Doesn't feel dry on lips.
However need to retouch often.
Too Dark 1
Paula from Undisclosed
Much darker than appears online. Returning.
High end dupe! 4
Lindsey from Indiana
A great true red that has good longevity. The formula can be a bit drying, but it is a matte and it's nothing a little gloss or topper can't help with. I knocked off one star because it does seem to transfer some if you're eating or drinking, so I do find myself having to reapply to make sure everything looks as good as when I first applied.
