When I first heard about the They're Real Double The Lip I was a little bit unsure as I was worried that it could give you Drag Queen lips - which don't get me wrong, I love RuPaul's Drag Race and drag queens are awesome, I'm not sure if I want to have lips like them. Each shade is shaped like a tear drop and has a darker tip than the rest of the lip colour and it is supposed to make your lips look fuller; hence the worry about drag queen lips. However, when I first put the lipstick on I realised whilst it does appear a lot more subtle, my lips did feel like they looked more fuller.
It has a semi-matte finish but I did notice that within a couple of hours it did dry to more of a full matte finish. Either way it is still comfortable to wear if you are a fan of matte finishes in your lipsticks. However unlike other matte lipsticks that I own, it doesn't have the greatest lasting power. I found that it would start to come off when I had a drink and then after eating, it would be completely gone. Now this is without any re-applying but as it is supposed to be both a lipliner and lipstick, I did expect the lasting power to be a bit better. If anyone has tried any of the other shades, particularly the brighter ones, I would be interested to see if the lasting power is any better.
I haven't this product very long so I might find a way to help it last longer without re-applying but to be honest, I don't really mind about that. It is a good lipstick for when you are in a hurry and you just want a bit of colour and unlike other 'quick fix' lipsticks, it makes you look like you put a bit more effort into your makeup.
Have you tried the They're Real Double The Lip? What are you lipsticks of choice for when you are in a rush? Would this meet the cut?
