BareMinerals BarePro Longwear Lipsticks (Part 1)

As you may know already, bareMinerals has launched their new BarePro lipstick range recently! Available in 20 matte shades, these vegan lipsticks are supposed to be ultra pigmented, transfer-proof, waterproof and long lasting. Today I'm only reviewing 10 of these new lipsticks, but stay tuned for the other ten shades!

BareMinerals BarePro Longwear Lipsticks Review Photos Swatches

The formula is incredibly creamy and glides on the lips like butter! It sets on the skin, kind of like a liquid lipstick, but it doesn't dry super fast so I have plenty of time to apply it with precision.

When the product is fully set, it feels a bit dry and powdery on the lips, but it doesn't feel heavy or thick.

I was afraid that my lips would be very dry because it doesn't feel like a moisturizing lipstick, but my lips aren't more chapped than usual when I remove my makeup (and I used them numerous times in the last two weeks!).

BareMinerals BarePro Longwear Lipsticks Review Geranium

The shades Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Strawberry and Geranium are very pigmented and they look even on the lips. These 4 shades are perfect in every way!

The colors Peony, Bloom, Spice, Carnation and Petal have great color payoff too, but they settle into the fine lines on the surface of my lips. I usually pat the product with my fingertips while it dries on my lips, and it solves the problem.

However, Camellia is a no go for me. I just couldn't make it work. The color is patchy and streaky, it clings onto dry skin and doesn't look good at all. I think this one would only look good on lips that are plump and perfectly smooth.

The BarePro Longwear Lipsticks last several hours on me (between 6 and 10 hours, depending on the shade) even after eating or drinking, as long as I don't eat greasy food.

Also, the formula isn't finicky like liquid lipsticks! I can apply a second layer after eating and it doesn't flake off or look cakey!

And they don't feather around my mouth, even without a lip pencil!

By the way, I find that this formula lasts much longer if I give it enough time to dry on my lips before drinking or eating.

It's not completely transfer-proof, but it doesn't rub off on my teeth or coffee mug!

All in all, I'm very pleased with the BarePro Lipsticks! Out of these 10 colors, my favorite shades are Peony, Strawberry and Petal!
