The blackberry shade is so deep and moody, and the creamy formula glides on like a balm before settling into that just-blotted look I actually prefer over a heavy stain. It’s my new go-to for days when I want color without the fuss.

The matte finish on this is exactly what I wanted—it’s got that just-blotted look without feeling dry or tight on my lips. The color is a deep, almost-black blackberry that stays put through coffee and lunch, and I only needed one swipe to get even coverage.

The one-swipe claim actually holds up—this blotted look takes me maybe ten seconds now, and the creamy texture makes layering easy if I want more depth. It's got that true blackened blackberry vibe, not too purple, not too dark. Dries down fast without that tight feeling I usually hate.
