Revlon Colorstay Moisture Stain in Stockholm Chic 055

Hello guys. Did you all enjoy your 3-day weekends? Let's start the week right with a lipstick review - picking up where I left off with Revlon's Colorstay Moisture Stain line. Today I have the shade Stockholm Chic.

Stockholm Chic 055 is a deep copper reddish-brown with warm undertones. This looks more brown than red in person. I picked this up because I wanted a deep brown lipstick but the red in this shade kind of looks off on me and emphasizes the yellow in my skin. I think this color would be perfect for duskier complexions.

The pigmentation is opaque with one swipe. It can be layered up to a point (maybe up to 3 layers) but more would only result to a messy look. You can also apply this lightly if you only want a slight stain on your lips.

This darker shade delivers great pigmentation. A single layer will give you opaque coverage. I don't think you can build up the color though, so adding more would only result to goopiness - of which I don't recommend. Also good to note is that I found this easier to apply - even, smooth and no patches.

The formula is still consistent with the rest of the Moisture Stain line. It feels very lightweight and non-sticky on the lips. This is no tacky, sticky feel that you would expect from a typical liquid product.

Stockholm Chic delivered average longevity and I honestly expected more since this is a darker shade. This left a very faint red-brown stain. The color lasted for up to four hours, up to six with the stain left on your lips.
