Shiseido Lacquer Rouge Review - RS404 Disco and RD607 Nocturne
Liquid lipsticks have been all the rage in the Japanese beauty scene for quite some time now. This fall, Shiseido steps up the game with its new Lacquer Rouge which comes in vibrant, bold shades with a lustrous finish that is rare for a Japanese brand. Unlike most of Shiseido's products, the Lacquer Rouge is made in the USA.
Inspired by Japanese lacquer ware, the Lacquer Rouge promises to leaves lips as smooth as lacquer with an applicator that fits closely against the lips for a comfortable, even, bleed-free application. It also improves the condition of lips, leaving them smooth and deeply moisturized. Shiseido Artistic Director Dick Page describes the collection as being "about the simplicity of a lip gloss married to the intensity of a lipstick, with deep pigment and rich colour payoff, long-lasting shine and gloss".
There are 8 shades available in the US and Europe, versus 12 shades in Asia. You can see swatches of the 12 shades on Makeup Blogette and Makeup Stash. These retail for US$25 (about S$32) in the US, S$43 in Singapore and 3675yen (S$58) in Japan. As usual, Japanese consumers get the worst deal.
The sponge applicator pulls out of the tube with a dab of the rouge concentrated on the slanted tip. Being very well pigmented, that is usually sufficient for one application. Compared to YSL Glossy Stain, I prefer the YSL's angled applicator which has a slightly broader surface that covers the lips better in a couple of strokes. Nevertheless, the Shiseido applicator works fine for an even, precise application. The two shades I purchased are RD607 Nocturne and RS404 Disco.
The pics above show Nocturne while the pics below show Disco, a fun bright pink. Both shades applied with opaque coverage and a nice shine. Both lasted well over four hours, but they do transfer to cups and require touch ups after eating. I also noticed Nocturne bleeding into the fine lines after about three hours. After wearing these, my lips did feel a tad dry and in need of balm. The texture feels thicker than the YSL Glossy Stains, which have a shinier finish. The YSL Glossy Stains offer more shade options (20) with varying levels of colour payoff, so if the Shiseido Lacquer Rouge looks too dramatic for you, you may wish to check out the YSL version or Maquillage Essence Glamorous Rouge, which is less tenacious but more user-friendly.
Below is the list of ingredients.
