If you love highly pigmented, long-lasting, matte lips, then try Velvetine from Lime Crime.
Velvetine has a waterproof, liquid velvet texture.
They go on like a lipgloss when applied and dry to a matte finish.
They are described as touch-proof and transfer-proof.
The formula is vegan (does not contain ingredients derived from, or tested on animals).
Salem is my 3rd Velvetine. I also have Red Velvet (the original shade) and Suedeberry.
It is such a unique shade, described as a matte chocolate brown.

They are highly pigmented and true to colour.
I find doe-foot applicators can be less precise and carry too much product, but as Velvetines are highly pigmented and you don't need too much - it allows for full and even application with minimal strokes.
I found it lasted well for about 8 hours. They don't budge easily.
The formula doesn't feel too uncomfortable to wear during the first few hours but it does feel like your lips become dryer over time.
They start to fade on the inside of the lips first.
