Shiseido Spring 2010 Glowing Matte and Tender Sheer lipsticks applied

I was given a lipstick sample card with some of the new Spring colours when I visited the Shiseido counter earlier this week, and I thought it might be useful to post some pictures of the colours applied.

Glowing Matte PK 224, a pale coral pink.


Glowing Matte RD 722 - it's odd to me that this is labelled as a RD, it's more of a PK to me. It's a nude slightly greyed pink to my eye.


Tender Sheer RS 326, a glossy cool rose.

You can definitely see the difference between the two textures. I do love the slightly glossier texture of the Tender Sheer (I will be looking out for the red and the plum in this formulation when it launches over here.) I admire the formulation of the Glowing Matte - it's a semi-transparent matte formula, but it doesn't feel drying, even on my winter dry lips; it has a waxy-silicone feeling, much like a primer for the skin. I don't love the colour of RD722 on me personally, but it'd be brilliant for anyone looking for that matte nude lip look without causing cat-bottom puckered lip dryness.

  1. I love the second shade, it's subtle and barely gives that freshy look to your lips!

    I haven't tried these yet; I only use Lancôme stuff except for those products that the moment I see them, they blow my mind!

  3. The sheer glossy is a younger looking lip since you don't see the lines. Those all look pretty though.

  4. Hi Lola - thank you :) Greeting to you, in your beautiful country. x

    Hello Jamilla - I'm really looking forward to this collection. Isn't it nice to finally defrost?

    Hey Marcia - I think you're right, the sheer glossy is younger looking. He's done really well with that matte texture though, I can see that being super popular for the Angelina Jolie lip.

    I am loving the PK224. but I would probably prefer the glossier RS 326. I would love to try some of these too!
