Kilian Le Rouge Parfum Matte Lipstick Review & Swatches
I’ve been a fan of Kilian perfumes for a while now, and I realized the brand has launched lipsticks! These are housed in a very luxurious engraving black packaging. I couldn’t resist picking up the reds! Later the brand introduced the nude range and I had to grab some more. Now I have a total of 6 shades in total. They are all matte formula.
The brand also has a satin formula with the same shades, bit I ddn’t pick any up.
Brand’s description: LE ROUGE PARFUM is like a talisman to carry close from day to night to early dawn. Covered entirely in the brand’s emblematic Achilles shield motif engraved into black lacquer, LE ROUGE PARFUM is a weighted, sensual accessory in your hand. The first makeup collection from KILIAN, LE ROUGE PARFUM is a wardrobe of iconic red lipsticks, all available in Matte and Satin finishes and deliciously scented by KILIAN.
Finish: Both matte and satin finish provide intense color in one stroke. The matte lipstick creates ultra-matte lips with a powdery velvet finish.
Key benefits: High intensity and pure color pigments providing bold color in one stroke. Long-wearing formula for color that lasts all day: up to 10 hours. Lightweight formula for a very easy and comfortable application. Rich formulas that help smooth and protect delicate lips for a silky feel that does not dry out your lips.
Application: Thanks to its precise bullet shape, LE ROUGE PARFUM is very easy to apply even without a brush. Begin the application of your perfect red at the heart of the lip, gradually building color towards the outside. Using the sharper edge of your lipstick, perfect the inner part for your lower lip and the lip corners. For gourmand lips with volume, try mixing both finishes: begin with the Matte texture and add Satin in the center of your lips for a plump, multi-dimensional finish. LE ROUGE PARFUM is easy to remove with make up remover.
If you are addicted to KILIAN’s Love, Don’t Be Shy fragrance, you will love the scent of Le Rouge Parfum with its notes of vanilla and neroli.
Here are the shades that I own:
HEAVEN ROUGE: "I am 99% angel but oh… that 1%!" A flamboyant red of intense pigments saturated with orange undertones, for smooth lips, long wearing color and the boldest expression of sensuality. Tantalizing and bewitching.
ROUGE FEU: A classic red with warm undertone.
TEMPTING ROSE: An intense nude with warm undertone.
The last 3 shades, 267 Desert Rose, 270 Nude Goddess, and 272 Nude In Bed were not listed in the official website. My guess is they are exclusives. They are in the Nudes collection.
First of all, I think these smell amazing. The definitely have perfume in them, and it makes these lipsticks feel even more luxurious.
They are a velvet matte, similar to Pat McGrath Matte trance Lipsticks, but with a bit more slip. If you are looking for something luxe, a perk me up, then I totally recommend these!
Below are the swatches. I took so many photos so I decided to post them all.
