Lip Swatch! - Wet n Wild Megalast Matte Lipstick - 965- Cherry Picking

I swatched out 13 more Wet n Wild Megalast Lipsticks here.   Today is 965- Cherry Picking!

This color is gorgeous!  It is a violet-berry-red.  It is bright, but wearable.  It is an attention catching color, and the violet sheen and pink undertones enlarge the lip slightly, rather than diminish like many deep colors can.

I wear this color with minimal, shimmery makeup.  I think it looks especially nice when paired with a white top, blue jeans, and amethyst earrings.

First, bare lips.  I prepped them with a thin application of Lansinoh.

Now, a thin layer, applied from the tube, in a single swipe.  I left half of my lips bare for comparison.

Now for what I would call full strength.  I applied directly from the tube.  Keep in mind that this is a matte formula, but it does go on creamy.  If you put some lip balm on your lips before applying it, the formula will remain a satin finish.  If you apply the lipstick without any balm, the finish will look matte, but will feel satin on your lips.  This color does intensify with a second coat. 

Next is full lip.  I applied directly from the tube to the bare side, and I put on about 2 coats.  This lipstick is very opaque when applied directly from the tube.  I cleaned up the lipline with a lipbrush.
