The tester is the smartest way to test a matte lipstick, and the Hero shade is gorgeous—it’s pigmented enough that one swipe covers everything. Dried down fully matte without feeling tight on my lips, which is usually my make-or-break with these.

Tried the tester in Hero before committing to a full size, and the matte finish really does last through coffee and lunch without crumbling. The tiny tube is perfect for throwing in a bag, and even after a few hours it doesn't feel drying on my lips.

The shade "Hero" applies so evenly that I barely needed a second pass, and the matte finish stayed put through coffee and lunch. For a tester size, it’s got enough product to really judge how it wears on your lips.
