Lisa Eldridge Velvet Petal & Velvet Cinnabar True Velvet Lipsticks Reviews & Swatches
Velvet Petal
Lisa Eldridge Velvet Petal True Velvet Lipstick Colour ($36.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a deep, rosy mauve with subtle, warm undertones and a soft matte finish. It delivered opaque pigmentation in a single stroke, which applied evenly and smoothly across my lips without catching on imperfections or settling noticeably into my deeper lip lines (just in the close-up could I see the smallest amount). It had a velvety consistency that glided readily across my lips but never felt heavy. It stayed on well for five hours and felt lightly hydrating over time.

Formula Overview
$36.00/0.12 oz. – $300.00 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to be a “creamy, hydrating matte with a slight sheen” that is “long wearing and non drying.” The three shades launched to-date are very pigmented with a lightly creamy, velvety texture that is thicker (but not heavy!) compared to the Insanely Saturated formula but has a similar velvety quality–smooth, glides on but doesn’t feel wet or slippery at all.
The colors went on evenly and smoothly and were more flattering on (less prone to emphasizing lip texture or lip lines) than the average matte lipstick. They wear was between five and seven hours well, and they felt neither drying nor hydrating over time. There is no scent or taste to the formula.

Velvet Cinnabar
Lisa Eldridge Velvet Cinnabar True Velvet Lipstick Colour ($36.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a medium-dark copper with moderate, warm undertones–balanced between red and orange–paired with a soft matte finish. The consistency was lightweight, smooth, and velvety with good glide during application, but it adhered well with even, opaque coverage that lasted well for five hours. The formula felt lightly moisturizing while worn.
