Pierre Cardin Retro Matte Lipstick Lipstick

I purchased shade 136, and in the photo, the color appears much lighter. However, when applied in person, it has an interesting effect, although please note that in person, the lipstick is a shade darker than it appears in the photo. It lasts well, and I am satisfied with its quality.

Shade 133 Pink Nude fully lives up to its description, with a pleasant scent and a smooth application on the lips. I am satisfied! Thank you, Makeup! ❤️

Shade 141 is brighter than shown in the photo on the website - it is a rich cool raspberry with a hint of fuchsia. The lipstick itself tends to dry out the lips and accentuate any existing dryness. It applies easily, but removing it is very difficult and not entirely successful using various makeup removers such as Avène and Klorane.

Unlike the other series, I didn't like this one. The shade I got, 136 Pink Rose, is like a dusty rose, and on the lips, it looks like a Barbie doll's shade. I believe it would suit fair-skinned blondes and make them look like dolls. In terms of quality, it's just average - not comfortable on the lips, feels plasticky, and is very noticeable. The only positive aspect, like the rest of the brand's cosmetics, is the expensive and stylish glossy case it comes in a box.

This lipstick is great! It applies excellently on the lips, stays on relatively well, doesn't smudge, and doesn't dry out the lips. It can easily compete with Maybelline. I bought shade #138, expecting a dusty rose color. However, the rose color turned out to be dusty but dark. I will definitely buy it again, but in a lighter shade. I highly recommend this lipstick for purchase!

Pay attention to my review!

I often order lipsticks, and the color rarely differs from the advertised one, at most by half a shade. So, my monitor's individual settings are fine.

However, this time I chose shade 157 and expected a dusty pink, muted color.
Result: I received a practically black stick, and it was a shock. The lipstick's color is not pink, but rather raspberry or wine-colored, with an unnatural violet-lilac undertone. It is far from subtle, in fact, it's even provocative.

It smells delicious, the case is magnetic and pleasant, and the quality of the lipstick is also good. This is not the first time I've missed the mark with shades exclusively from this brand, so I advise either testing it in the store or being prepared for it to arrive 2 shades lighter or darker than advertised, or even with a color tone that doesn't suit your complexion.

I chose Pink Nude shade. The color perfectly matches the photo on the website - it's a cool gray-lilac nude. The pigmentation is not very intense, but the lipstick applies evenly and can be layered nicely. During application, it feels slightly clay-like in texture, but on the lips, it is comfortable and does not dry them out. I liked that even if my lips are not perfectly moisturized, it does not emphasize any flaws, as often happens with matte lipsticks. The packaging is weighty and very beautiful, with a glossy finish that looks expensive. It closes with a magnet. I am happy with my purchase. Thank you, MakeUp!
