Most Helpful Positive Review Above My Expectations I love a lipstick that proves to be exactly what it says it is/does and not present the opposite. This Smashbox Cream to Matte lipstick has went above and beyond my expectations. I was afraid it would leave my lips dry and peeling. I was also concerned about it bleeding outside my lip lines. When I applied my lipstick I outlined my lips then dabbed the centers gently and blotted my lips together for a full coverage look. The precision tip created in the stick allowed me to achieve a desired look especially along the upper lip. It dried fairly quick. It didn't leave my lips feeling dry because it has a primer oil in the base of the lipstick. It's all long lasting and you can achieve 12 hours of this lipstick on without smudging, bleeding, feathering, cracking, or leaving your lips dry and wanting to peel! It's also waterproof which I like if I'm out on a rainy day. I was concerned about it caking around my "already" chapped lips but it never done so. It gave me full coverage! It has a deep pigment so the color you see is the color and tone you get. Being a mom and wife, we know how important it is to not transfer those beautiful lips onto your children's cheeks or husbands! I even tested it on the sleeve of my white t shirt! No transfer took place. That being said, it came off nicely with a good makeup remover or you can easily remove with gentle soap and lukewarm water. This is my go-to for a good lip and look from now on! Definitely recommend! I wore mine out running errands in town and my lips stayed looking bold and fresh all day!
Most Helpful Critical Review One of the worst formulas Initially, the application is so creamy. The shape of the bullet doesn't really affect the application one way or another. Dries down quickly, so you have to work fast. Doesn't layer well. It would pill on my lips within 10 minutes of applying. Crumbles off if you lick your lips. It wears off quickly and patchy. I've tried dozens of lipstick formulas - traditional and liquid - and this was one of the worst. You're better off trying their original liquid formula. I will definitely be returning the 2 shades I bought.

I really like the color, feel it is too thick for me, but I do like the fact it remains on my lips for a very long time.
Nice lipstick but defiantly transferable and smudges 4
Amy Lynn from Anaheim CA
It's a beautiful lipstick. I love the matte. However it still leaves lips stains on glasses and is definitely transferable
I never leave reviews but this deserves it! 5
Excellent! from Houston
I have been searching for the perfect nude lip for YEARS. I love the look of a good nude lip but have never found one I thought looked good on me. I am also VERY picky about how lipstick feels. This checks all the boxes! I got the shade "just barely" and it's perfect. It is truly long wearing but still comfortable. It actually feels like nothing to me!
Best lipstick ever 5
Frida from Norway
I love long lasting lipsticks but this is the only one who dont dry out or cracks, simple perfect matte lipstick 👌
Stays on through a party 5
Renee from Cville
Stayed on and did not budge during a couple hour party I went to. I was drinking as well and I swear this stuff isn't bothered by liquids. When I looked in the mirror it was still on. I was pleasantly surprised.
beautiful 5

I got the shade bawse, it is a very beautiful red lipstick that lasts well throughout the day.
Only if I could try a sample 2
Babe from Miles, ohio
When I applied the lipstick I was very disappointed in the color. It looked totally different on.
I would never purchase this again. Very disappointed 1
Gaik from Ft Myers, FL
Too soft, terrible texture. Looked awful on and felt strange.
Bad allergic reaction 1
Lulu from Tallahassee
Bad allergic reaction for 3 days.
Great staying power, but shade is not for me! 3
Makeup fan from Woodland Hills, CA
I love this brand and I really liked their liquid lipstick in the shad "Girl, please" that they discontinued so I was looking for a comparable neutral brick red shade. So I bought the shade "Caliente", especially after researching many swatches and reviews and this is orange on me which is not flattering. It was also very difficult to remove and I didn't like having orange lips. So the staying is great.
Bawse 5
ashley from Brooklyn, NY
I love this lipstick and this color. It really is a true red. It goes on so creamy and dries matte. It's not drying at all (assuming that you know how to apply matte lipsticks), doesn't transfer, and it's so lightweight. I'm definitely getting more shades.
Worst Lipstick Ever 1
Anna the runner from Frederick Maryland
I used this product several times and had to return. It does not stay on and it flakes off. The color I got was really pretty, but overall it was just a bad quality lipstick for the price.
Best lipstick I own 5
Lauralu from Illinois
This lipstick came in a bonus gift package and so glad it did! I have tried soooo many lipsticks over the year, but this is now my go to. It really stays on for hours and hours. Love it!
I would buy again 4
Lupi from Gresham Or
Goes on smoothly and stayed on all evening!
Best Bullet Lipstick 5
Sadie from Colorado
I got the shade Big Night and it is a beautiful color! Goes on extremely smooth and pigmented. I did see a tiny bit of transfer on my glass at dinner, and it did fade throughout the night but it faded nicely and never made my lips feel dry and never cracked! I am definitely going to be buying more shades.
First red lipstick...only one I need. 5
Style not fashion from New York, NY
I am a dark skinned woman who tends to wear browns and wines but I saw an article where this brand/shade of lip color was recommended and decided to try it. So glad I did! I received compliment after compliment from men and women. There is definitely something about a red that just gives you a whole new look and attitude. And this red pops in the best way on my complexion.
Fabulous 5
Paula from Myrtle Beach
Again love the product shade was darker than expected
Very Disappointed 2
Island Girl from Washington
I heard a lot about this product and how it lasts all day. Did not last at all. Made my lips dry and felt gross on my lips. It's way overpriced in my opinion. I loved the color though 🤷🏻♀️
