Packaging

The packaging is a sight to behold. The lipstick comes in a grey matte tube that feels luxurious. I love how the logo is displayed on the tube, too.

Performance

This is a matte formula; as with most matte formulas, dryness can be an issue. That’s why I start with a hydrating toner or ampoule on the lips, which is an excellent way to provide hydration and nourishment. Keep in mind to reach for a product without active ingredients!

Following that, applying a lip balm on top helps lock in moisture and create a smooth canvas for the lipstick. To avoid excessive product buildup, I remove any excess lip balm with a towel. This step helps the lipstick adhere evenly and prevents it from slipping or smudging.

Even those few times that I didn’t prep, my lips did not become drier or shrivel like I’ve experienced with other products in the past. It feels way more comfortable than its Western counterparts.

You can customize the intensity of the color to your liking. Whether you prefer a subtle everyday look or bolder makeup, you can build up the color as needed. For a natural everyday look, gently patting the lipstick onto the lips can provide a soft and effortless finish. I prefer to apply it this way for a subtle hint of color.

It applies evenly and doesn’t get patchy over time. This means you can enjoy a smooth and consistent color payoff throughout the wear.

While the lipstick lasts for a good couple of hours, it’s important to note that it is not transfer-proof.

Final Verdict on the Romand Zero Matte Lipstick

Pros

  • Lightweight on the lips.
  • Full-on matte finish.
  • Not that drying, but lip prep would be ideal.
  • Great pigmentation.
  • Easy to build up without becoming heavy.
