Lip Veil Lipstick

I have a hard time with most of the so-called neutral shades of lipstick. I never had a lot of natural color in my lips and I'm in my late 60s now, so many of the lighter neutral shades make me look completely washed out, and many of the deeper shades are too brown to be flattering for my complexion. I also don't like the way I look now in the very bright colors that I might have worn when I was younger. I ordered the Tamboti shade of this lipstick and it works for me. It's deeper than a "your lips but better" color, but it's not too dark for me and it's one I can reach for no matter what color I'm wearing. I find the formula to be very lightweight and comfortable. That means it's not super long wearing, but that doesn't bother me, and I can recommend this product.

Chantecaille’s Lip Veil has a luxuriously smooth texture that makes lips look & feel their best. I chose the color Honeypot which matches the color sample shown online, a lovely nude tone, slightly pink, very natural. One light coat made my lips look better than natural, but not made up. Two coats, more firmly applied, added more color and a polished look for going out for special events. When I really like a lipstick I often buy a second to have one at home and one for my handbag. Though this lipstick is priced high for me, that will likely happen. The company’s charitable causes are noteworthy.

I got the Moabi color (which is a soft blue based rose pink) and Azalea (a blue based vibrant red.) Both colors are so easy to apply, they don't bleed or move around and they feel amazing. So comfortable on the lips, even in winter when my lips get really dry. The formula is really flattering (not glossy or thick) and looks so pretty on the lips. They don't stay on all day, so you do have to reapply. I found using liner under extends the wear a bit but not enough to bother since that then changes the colors a tiny bit. And you get to help elephants while buying lipstick, what could be better? ;)

With my first use of this lipstick I noticed that my parched lips were immediately comfortable and moisturized. Honeypot is the perfect neutral I carry in my bag. Chantecaille is CRUELTY-FREE and donates a portion of it's profits to wildlife conservation. I am a Chantecaille convert and will purchase over and over again!

It's a happy accident that I found this. I went in the store to pick up one thing and passed by the Chantecaille display on my way out. Tried on the Rock Rose and bought it on impulse. The price was shocking, but no regrets. It goes on with a slight sheen then settles into a soft matte that stays on a long time. After using lip veil exclusively for one week, my usually chapped and flaky lips have felt healthy.

The formula is the best I have ever seen in a lipstick. It is so lightweight. I bought honeypot so I can’t say how the color payoff is for the darker colors but for honeypot it was good. No weird taste. No lipstick teeth either. It worked well for me with Charlotte Tilbury liner in Hot Gossip. I know everyones lips are different pigment but for me it works great. I love this lipstick. I am waiting on another color in the mail right now.

The description says "light" and "gliding", which made me think it was a sheer tinted lip balm. I purchased the color Iris. It does glide on beautifully, totally moisturized my parched lips, but it is not what I would call "light" in the sense that it is not to be mistaken for a tinted balm. This is truly a lipstick. Iris has opaque, velvety, semi-matte coverage, almost like a satin. It's not glossy or shiny. With only one pass over the lips, my lips were saturated with color and didn't even need another pass, except to even out any lines, as I don't use lip liner, and the color payoff is intense. I went a few hours without eating, and my lipstick looked as fresh after 5 hours as it did when I first applied it. It did not feather or bleed into fine lines. It wasn't the sheer color I hoped for, yet I was in awe! Iris is a rich red that leans a bit cool. I ordered Moabi recently, as I was so impressed with the quality of this Lip Veil.

Bought the color baobab, it is quite different compare to the picture online. The item is much more deeper brown toned. Used several times day and night, tried to apply softer or heavier, and no, makes no difference. Throw away.

I have dozens of Chantecaille lipsticks and love them but Rock Rose is the first one I thought wasn't represented very clearly in terms of color. On the chart comparing other colors it's much lighter and rosier (warmer) in tone. The one that singles out the color solo is closer. I won't use this -- much too dark for me.

Michell Wang made me buy this and I love it! Perfect everyday neutral!

This is a lovely soft nude shade, a soft semi-sheer brownish pink on me (NW15 for reference). The product is very comfortable to wear and layers well under glosses too. Lasting power is actually better than one might expect given the product is not intended to be a full coverage lipstick. Taking off a star for the price--while this is lovely I am not sure that the cost of it is justified. Happy to help contribute to the cause though.

Creamy and smooth. Rivals C Tibury in the color "Pillow Talk". Though CT is less expensive. It does need to be reapplied as do most IMO. All good ingredients, so that is a plus. The price is the deterring factor.
