Formula Overview

$32.00/0.12 oz. – $266.67 Per Ounce

It was recently reformulated to be even more hydrating with “18 hour comfort” and “8 hour hydration” paired with an “ultra-creamy texture” and “intense color” that gives a “luminous finish.” They distinguish the 18-hour and 8-hour claims from it being long-wearing, so presumably they are referring to how one’s lips feel after the product as worn away or been removed (after fading).

Most shades had full color payoff in a single layer, while a few shades had to be built up. The texture was smooth, lightweight, and emollient without being too slippery or too thick, so the lipstick applied comfortably across my lips but wasn’t prone to settling into my lip lines. The formula was more forgiving of lip texture imperfections and seemed to smooth out my lip lines more often than not.

They have a powdery floral scent, which is noticeable more in the tube than on, but it had a bit of taste initially to me. The updated formula felt very comparable to the last iteration, possibly a little lighter-weight and smoother on my lips. They wore between four and six hours and were hydrating.

One Last Night (444)

Lancome One Last Night (444) L’Absolu Rouge Cream Lipstick (2022) ($32.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a brighter, medium-dark rosy mauve with subtle, cool undertones and a cream finish. It had rich color coverage in a single stroke, which applied evenly and smoothly across my lips without dragging or tugging on them. The formula was lightweight, creamy, and smoothing as it didn’t emphasize my lip lines. It wore well for five hours and was hydrating over time.
