Hi Darlings, today’s post is going to be the review and swatches of the L’Oreal Rouge Signature Lightweight Matte Colored Ink in the shades EmpoweRED and PrepaRED.
If you saw my review of the other shades of this line (I Rule and I Enjoy) you know I love them, but in the main collection, I felt like red was the colour that was missing.
So when they came out with a holiday collection of only reds I was definitely happy. I got two shades but there are four in the line, a more orange-red and lighter one.
You can get them from Ulta for 11,99$, but this line is not available in the States yet.
EmpoweRED
PrepaRED
COLOUR
- EmpoweRED a warm-neutral red.
- PrepaRED is a burgundy red.
PACKAGING
It has a classic tube, the name of the shade is on the cap but it doesn’t say anywhere the name of the lipsticks which I find quite annoying.
The heart-shaped wand is PERFECT to put the lipstick precisely on, even without a lip liner.
FORMULA
This lip product it’s a tint, which means that is going to stain your lips and last for a long time.
When you apply it is very liquidy once it sets it becomes matt and long lasting. They are both very smooth and not patchy at all but they need a bit of layering.
The formula is incredibly lightweight and not drying at all, I can go hours and forget I have it on. It doesn’t transfer.
SWATCH
EmpoweRED
PrepaRED
LASTING POWER
On me, it lasts about 6-7 hours before it starts to rub off on the centre of my lips and gets too uncomfortable which is rather impressive. You can eat and it will slightly disappear in the centre of the lips but you can layer it again.
RATING:
- Colour: 9/10
- Longevity: 9/10
- Application: 9/10
- Pigmentation: 9/10
- Comfort: 9/10
- Packaging: 8/10
GRADE: A
These lip tints are awesome. I’m so impressed by them. The formula is amazing to work with. It goes on smoothly and it’s super comfortable. I have to say both the lasting power and the applicator are the things that make them so special.

Wow, these sound amazing and both colors look so chic on you!
Thank you! They have an amazing formula, very similar to the new Chanel ones
Oh nice! The drugstore has such amazing lipsticks these days.
love the lip shades! I prefer ‘redder’ on you but it does look very pretty. You look lovely!
Thank you x
Love these colors. I really like matte lipsticks, but in the colder months, my lips get so dry that I find the gloss works better. Nice that these are liquidy when then go on and non drying. Thanks for the recommendation.
Thank you ?
These are gorgeous colours. I particularly like the burgundy red. It’s a colour I love but not all collections include it so very pleased to see it here.
Such a good one!
These colors look so pretty. Will check them out on my next visit.
Enjoy x
I’m such a coward when it comes to bolder lip colors. This ones look so beautiful!!!
You should definitely try!
