Application: Like a regular lipstick.

Result: Lipsticks happen to be one of my favorite products from Rimmel. First I bought the Lasting Finish lipstick in the shade undressed (read review) which I still use to this day and next I bought one of the Kate Moss ones. There's not much a of a difference in the price but I think I prefer the Kate ones more. I bought # 10 first which is a seductive, bright matte red. It's absolutely beautiful and will conquer a makeup look on its own. One swipe releases a lot of color and a few more cover the lips with ease. If you apply it over a chap stick it slightly shines otherwise turns out matte. It's suitable for all skin types and specially wearable for fall.

The not so good part is that it transfers a lot. It's almost never dry and will stain everything it comes across. One other thing I noticed is that it will cause a cloudy hue around the lips during summers and will transfer on the chin at times (God knows how). So I always need to check on my lips and clean up if it happens.

I bought # 08 recently which is a cream formula and a nice everyday warm pink, suitable for all skin tones. It's a must have for working ladies. It will transfer more color if worn alone but over a chap stick, it tends to lighten a bit. It's very similar to my natural lip color which made with wish I'd gone for some other shade when I tried it on for the first time.

Staying Power: #10 fulfills the claim. It stayed on my lips for almost 8 hours whereas, # 08 lasted hardly for 2 hours.

Times Tested: # 10 several times and #08 3 times.

Cons: If only # 10 didn't stain badly and # 08 would stay on longer, I would've given them that extra point.

Anything Else: -

Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick by Kate Moss comes in 3 collections. The black tubes are the Lasting Finish Collection in 15 shades. Then there's a Lasting Finish Matte Collection, which comes 10 shades in red tubes. Later Rimmel introduced the Kate Spring Collection which consists of 5 shades in black tubes.

Rating: 4/5 for both
