Rouge Artist Intense

26 Dec 2013

A pearly (nearly metallic) pink-plum, probably the only lipstick in my collection with a pearly sheen to it. Unlike my experience with other shades from the Rouge Artist Intense line, I found this one to be more drying than most. I don't like the way it feels (or looks) on lips without having first applied a coat of lip balm. I'm not a fan of applying lip balm before lipstick: it's time-wasting and unnecessary, because there are lipsticks that can provide color and moisture at one go.
