Product and Shade Description

Dress lips in True Velvet Lip Colour, a decadently rich and indulgently matte lipstick that looks exactly like velvet. Soft, plush and luxurious, with a delicate, dimensional sheen.

One swipe saturates lips in creamy, highly pigmented colour with up to 10 hours of wear*. This is the matte that never feels flat - just light, non-drying and comfortable on your lips.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?

  • Velvet matte lipstick with a subtle sheen for a 3D effect.

  • Rich pigment sets for up to 10 hours of wear.

  • Keeps lips smooth, hydrated and comfortable. 

  • Pairs beautifully with Enhance and Define Lip Pencils for the full velvet lip experience.

WHY LISA CREATED IT

“I once dreamt about a lipstick with a velvet fabric bullet, so set out to achieve just that. True Velvet has a velvet texture cast within the bullet itself. It’s so intense and visually exciting… It truly has to be seen to be believed.”

* Clinically tested for up to 10-hour long wear.


NET WT. 3.5g / 0.12oz

HOW TO USE

  1. Start by applying Enhance and Define Lip Pencil in the shade that matches your True Velvet Lip Colour. There’s a lip liner counterpart for every colour!
  2. Apply True Velvet Lip Colour straight from the bullet or use a lip brush. Lisa’s No. 20 Lip Brush is perfect. Lisa recommends “a one-swipe graphic lip statement or pat on gently for a subtle, painterly lip stain”. 
  3. Take your time to press it into the lips. Build up in thin layers as desired.
  4. Finish by redefining the lip line with your lip pencil to sculpt, emphasise and enhance your natural shape.

Experience the cult classic True Velvet

The ultimate, elevated matte lip

“The saturated, technicolour formulation has a beautiful creamy texture, with a slight sheen that stops it from appearing as a ‘flat matte’. It’s so intensely pigmented that it’s easy to create either a one-swipe graphic lip statement, or pat on gently for a subtle, painterly lip stain” 

Lisa Eldridge

A magic trompe l’oeil effect… 

Texture taken from a dream

“I once dreamt about a lipstick with a velvet fabric bullet, so set out to achieve just that. True Velvet has a velvet texture cast within the bullet itself, it’s so intense and visually exciting… It truly has to be seen to be believed”

Lisa Eldridge

FAQs

Both lipsticks deliver a major matte finish, but Velveteen is a liquid formula that Lisa calls “the playful, younger sister of my True Velvet Lip Colour.” It gives a soft-focus, diffused look, while True Velvet Lip Colour teams rich pigment with the subtlest 3D sheen, via a trompe l’oeil bullet that really, truly looks like velvet.

Yes, True Velvet is a long-lasting matte lipstick, giving you up to 10 hours of rich, vibrant wear. It’s also smudge-proof, budge-proof and water-resistant. Glide it on and it will not move.

This is the dream matte lipstick for those who suffer from dry, chapped lips, as the pigment is enveloped in a creamy, moisturising formula that feels comfortably light. The delicate sheen also means your lips don’t look flat. It’s a subtle trick of the light, but one that leaves your lips looking fuller and healthier.

    A True 'My Lips But Better' Shade, In A Luxurious Formula!

    With my fair olive complexion, mauve, berry, and muted rose shades tend to work better for me than most pinks. I've always been on the lookout for the perfect 'MLBB' shade, but none were quite right, until I tried Blush Lightly. The shade is beautiful; it's a bit muted, just like my natural lip color, but because it's so close to my natural lip tone, it brightens up my face, and is very flattering. It's a shade I reach for regularly on days when I want to look pulled together, with only a minimal number of products (or a minimal amount of time to get ready). As for the formula, it's exactly as described...rich, creamy, and highly pigmented, without feeling heavy or dry. It wears beautifully for hours too, without settling into lip lines, or feeling uncomfortable. Lisa's Velvets are my absolute favorite mattes, and unlike any others I've ever worn.

    Blush Lightly is the perfect year round, every day wearable shade. I love it!

    Autumn in a tube

    I am wearing it as light stain and it's enough for my autumnal walks. I was hesitating long time because it is so deep but I am glad I got Jaz.

    Amazing texture!

    The color is a little grey on me, so I would choose another color, but the texture is lovely/perfect. The only issue is that it's quite soft so you have to be careful not to break the lipstick when you apply it. It's hard for a busy working woman to have in her bag because of that. I'm torn!
