So comfortable and light!
May 1, 2020
So I bought the product in Shade 12, Naturally Healthy and it is the perfect MLBB/nude color for my lips. As the shade name says, it brings liveliness to my lips without trying to do too much and that makes it great for natural makeup looks. It is a nice pink that is not too pastel or light, but it is not too dark either. It does have hints of beige in it and to me, the color looks more on the neutral side so both warm-toned and cool-toned people could use it. I am an NC35/NC40 in the MAC range and I think it is a friendly color for people who have some melanin. I did not have to use a brown liner or anything else to make it work. Also, the product has a sweet, almost white chocolatey scent to it which I don't mind at all.
When you wear the lipstick, you can't smell it, but if you lick your lips, you do end up tasting it a little.
The Airy Velvet formula is personally my favorite formula from Peripera. I do own the Airy Velvet Tints, but this is my first time buying an Airy Velvet Stick and I regret not trying one out earlier. I thought they were just going to be the same things but in different shapes/packaging, however I couldn't be any more wrong. While both do have that comfortable, airy feeling on your lips, they both are slightly different in terms of pigmentation and formula. The Airy Tints are a lot more strong and vivid with their pigmentation, whereas the Airy Sticks are more on the sheer side which is not a bad thing at all. I prefer the Airy Sticks, because it's easier for me to sheer out the colors for a gradient effect and have a more natural look. It also does a better job at filling in the cracks of your lips and creating a smoothing effect. The Tints do that job well too, but the Airy Sticks just do it way better. If you're looking for a stronger lip product that will last you for hours though, go with the Airy Tints. Overall, I would definitely recommend this and I look forward to testing out some other shades!
