I've never been a fan of matte lipsticks because they tend to be very drying, and someone like me, who tends to have dry lips, doesn't want that. I also don't like the "flat" look matte lipsticks give. I feel that they take away definition to the lips. But THESE lipsticks are amazing! They feel comfortable and moisturizing, they don't accentuate any dryness you might have on your lips, they don't look completely flat, and the colors are SO vibrant. I would say most of them you can definitely get true color pay off with just one swipe. A bit of a warning though, some of them do leave a quite vibrant stain behind on your lips and the stain doesn't look like the exact shade of lipstick you originally applied. Also, you will have to use a makeup remover to get the stain completely off your lips. Some people might see that as a good thing cause it says something about the color staying-power, and others might not like that. As far as shade description goes... Blushing Pop (on me) looked more brown and I couldn't really see any pink in it. Some people might not notice a difference, but Graffiti Pop and Rose Pop look VERY similar. Graffiti Pop had a bit more red, whereas Rose Pop has more pink. Shock Pop leaves an almost fluorescent pink stain behind. Cute Pop has more of a mauve look to it, definitely a favorite. Peony Pop is more of a mid-tone pink. Avant Garde Pop is definitely the darkest of all the shades. It's a beautiful vampy shade. I tried ALL of these shades, but I ended up keeping Rose Pop, Bold Pop, Peony Pop, Cute Pop, and Avant Garde Pop.
I have been a longtime clinique customer and an avid red lipstick fan. I was SO excited when Clinique released their matte lipsticks and quickly bought Icon Pop. However, I have been sorely disappointed with the product. It is a nightmare to apply correctly, it bleeds and smudges unlike every other matte lipstick I've used, and it does not last more than an hour or two. This is the first ever Clinique product that I can say I've ever been truly disappointed with.

It could have been a little more matte, I love the color though

I got this in Peppermint Pop because I wanted a bold red color and it was on sale. While the color is beautiful, it does not stay on. If you are doing anything longer than 5 minutes, you'll be disappointed. The color doesn't wipe off, but it soaked into my lips. If you are looking for a lipstick for a headshot or quick selfie, this is a good option, but not for a family photo session, day at work, date night, etc.

I will definitely buy this product again. I will recommend it to a friend. I used to use it in the past and now I have come full circle back to it. I have medium skin and it works. I love the color.

new go to color. I previously had a similar bright purple and have been seeking a replacement. this lipstick is so creamy, and instantly elevates any casual look.

I love matte lipsticks. This Clinique matte is wonderful. It is not real drying like some mattes, but has enough moisture that it glides on smoothly. The Blushing Pop is a great color to be worn alone or over another color to give a beautiful lighter finish.

The color selection really is lovely. I have many colors from this collection. However, it wears off fast despite having a primer in it. I wouldn't recommend it for purchase, but if it's offered as a free gift, well, free is free 😂

Kind to your lips and great color.

They never got rid of tgeur lipstick colors! Now they change them like underwear! Hate that! My color was Fuscia! And I know there were many who wore it also! That was the first they got rid of!

The Pop Series are one of my favorite matte full coverage lipsticks that I wear on a daily basis. I pair with a Clinique liner in re-maroon family and blend to achieve smooth, sexy lip appeal. I've used Clinique products since moisturizer at 16 - 50's. I still get carded.

Loving almost their entire pallets of creamy mattes only

Great color. Love the formula. My issue is the last 3 tubes of Clnique lipstick I purchased, separated from the bottom of the tube. I never roll them up more than is necessary to apply th color. If I was using a brush and not using on the go it wouldn't bother me too much, but it is disappointing that it so many have broken.

Great color, smooth application.

I can't count the how many compliments I've gotten this week of my new found shade of Clinique pop icon lipstick. Clinique discontinued Matte Vintage Wine shade a few years back and I've been lost trying to replace this particular shade of red lipstick. My friend says it makes my eyes pop but I personally feel that it it brightens up the shade of my teeth!! It's like an optical Illusion!! I have one in my makeup bag and I will be buying two more before it sells out. Thanks Clinique for bring back that shade of red!

I bought an 01 Blushing Pop two years ago. I just bought my second, and the color has changed. It's lighter, peachier, and the formula is too drying. It's unusable for me.
Kar Anne from Tulsa, OK
I was surprised this lipstick last so long. It's not drying nor does it feel like anything is on your lips.
Sando from Texas
It is so soft, lightweight, has enough pigmentation. It fades evenly. I am in love with it. My everyday lipstick now.
MYu from Texas
I bought Ruby Pop and it was not "ruby" red but more like orange. I do not like orange toned lipsticks. They make your teeth appear sickly yellow. Anyway, I regret buying it but do not like the hassle of returning. I just wished the color on the site was more realistically matching the actual color.

This color is just right for my Latino skin tone. Just enough pop without overwhelming.
Alice from Portland,OR
I like the texture.
lucica from Portland,OR
It's a very moist color

Love how it feels on my lips. Easy application and glides smoothly yet looking matte. Just perfect!
