Hello makeupholics!I love using lip crayons a lot and there are many Indian brands that have come up with some amazing lip crayons in the last year, one being the Faces Ultime Pro Lip crayon that comes in 2 variants - Matte (powdery matte) and Starry Matte (matte with shimmers). I bought the shade Really Rust, a gorgeous rusty orange.

Faces Ultime Pro Matte Lip Crayon (07) Really Rust Packaging
PackagingThe Faces Ultime Pro Matte Lip Crayon comes in a sharpen-able crayon packaging with plastic transparent cap (prone to breakage), the color coded tube of the lip color makes them easy to locate. Personally I love twist up crayons, because sharpening leads to product wastage.
Texture & PigmentationThe Faces Pro Matte Lip Crayon is very soft and smooth in texture, there is no tugging and it glides easily on the lips. The pigmentation is awesome and delivers opaque coverage in a single pass. The product has a satin finish on the lips and despite the matte formula; it doesn’t parch out or dry the lips. However, it accentuates dry/flaky bits of lip lines like almost matte lip-colors. I won’t say it’s moisturizing but it’s not drying either, hence, do exfoliate your lips beforehand.
Staying PowerThe finish is powdery matte and I found the formula comfortable to wear and fairly long lasting. After about 5 hours, there was a little fading and I do feel like applying a little balm at this point. It lasted another 2 hours on me leaving a light stain.

Overall verdictFaces Ultime Pro Matte Lip Crayon is a color coded lip color that needs sharpening. It has a decently comfortable matte formula that is long wearing without being unforgiving on the lips, I absolutely love it! If you have very dry lips, a little exfoliation or lip balm before application would help solve dryness issue. I personally love matte lipsticks over creamy/glossy finish lip products on myself because it lasts longer on lips.
