If I were a princess, I guess even I would have a lipstick named after me! Yes, one year old Princess Charlotte, daughter of the lovely Dutchess Kate and Prince William has a gorgeous lipstick named after her – Marc Jacobs Charlotte Le Marc Lip Creme Lipstick. Wow! Imagine that.
Shade – Marc Jacobs Charlotte is a very special red lipstick – I guess given the special nature of the name they could not have gone with any other red. I have about 20 reds and yet this one stands head and shoulders above the rest. This is a slightly pink toned warm red. Yes, you read that correctly, it is pink toned and yet it is warm. There is a lovely tinge of berry which makes the lipstick lean towards a warm red. I love how it looks on me, red but not bright and not calling for over the top attention. Once applied it is not a true matte, but not shiny either – it leans towards a velvet matte.
Pigmentation – The shade is super saturated and pigmented. It takes just one stroke to get the colour right. I love how dense it is and gets opaque completely with just one go. In fact when I got down to removing this with my normal make up remover I could not imagine how much colour came off on the cotton pad. Clearly they have spared no expense to make this special.
Texture is super creamy and super luscious. I know I keep using the same superlative adjectives over and over again, but I cant help it, it is just amazing. Marc Jacobs Charlotte Keeps lips hydrated and looking alive and doesent settle into fine lines.
Staying Power – 8 hours straight. Need I say more? This is one of the only lip colours that I actually have to remove at the end of the day.
Packaging – This comes in the normal Le Marc black tube with a magnetic closure. The lipstick bullet however is not very faceted. I find it a little difficult to actually draw the line on the lips – this being such a dense colour. I wish they had a few sharp edges on the bullet that almost always makes it easier to apply.
Marc Jacobs Charlotte Le Marc Lip Creme Lipstick (GBP 24)
Overall Thoughts
I feel pretty lucky that I was able to pick up such a coveted shade. I love the colour and I’m sure this tube is going to run out soon. Marc Jacobs Charlotte is a shade to die for, and the texture amazing. Can’t wait to try more from this range.
