What the brand says about Rimmel The Only One lipstick

Rimmel The Only One lipstick combines long lasting colour, comfort and moisture to give you a lipstick experience you won’t forget. The lipstick is currently available in 15 shades which is quite a large selection for a high street brand.

The Lowdown

I discovered Rimmel The Only One lipstick when I was doing a little shopping the other week. For the purpose of the review I’m testing Cheeky Coral, a mid shade red. There are quite a lot of nudes in this collection, with a few key girly pink and red shades. I don’t think nude lipsticks really do anything for me and a lot of brands seem to be focusing on them at the moment which is a little disappointing. It comes with a slanted design which Rimmel state is for easier application, although I do prefer the normal bullet shape. It has a slightly artificial tropical smell.

The lipstick felt quite soft on my lips when I applied it but it did take a few swipes to get full coverage. The overall finish is quite a subdued matte red, the colour is really nice and suits my fair skin tone. Sometimes red lipsticks can be a little too bold but I felt this shade was just right. In terms of longevity and how long it lasts before you have to reapply – it didn’t do too well on this. After a few hours the lipstick had completely faded and to be honest I was hoping it would last a little longer.

The overall finish was quite matte and the colour was quite nice but the longevity was a little disappointing.

I give it:

★★★
