Formula

When I buy a lipstick two things matter the most,

• The finish
• Longevity

All the shades in this portfolio are designed to give a beautiful satin-like finish that doesn't smudge throughout the day. The ingredients used in the making provide a moisture barrier that is responsible for keeping the product elastic. The formula makes the lipsticks last throughout the day.

The pigmentation of these shades is amazing in the following ways

• Easier application.
• Even look.
• Do not fade or mess easily. 
• Gives a naturally beautiful look.

My Review

While the brand is widely known for its quality products, the lipsticks in Artis – Monograph Cream Lipsticks Portfolio has some exquisite advantages.

• Smooth finish.
• Wide range of shades in a single package.
• Can be worn for longer periods.
• Beautiful and luxurious packaging with magnetic closure.
• Do not dry the lips.
• Lastly, different shades can be blended to change intensity and colours.

The application is extremely easy and blends perfectly. Also, it looks smooth and does not wear out the moisture from the lips. It removes easily with a makeup wipe or cotton pads. In addition, the complexion does not limit the usage of the colours as it's designed to complement every skin and stays on for the whole day.

The eyeshadow quads from the range are also worth checking out.

I am a professional makeup artist and I own multiple eyeshadow palettes. I always have to juggle between different palettes since they all are different from each other. Some of them have great pigmentation while some offer a wide variety of colours. Usually, one palette is made around a single tone or shade, so you have to buy multiple. I use make-up daily on myself as it's a part of my profession and it's good to keep one with you for touch-ups. But the downside of owning large palettes is that they are harder to carry and smaller ones do not offer much variety in shades.

They offer a lot of shades along with a beautiful, compact design. There are a total of 32 shades arranged in Quad compacts of eight. The distribution of the colour is insightful with one light colour, one deeper one and two medium shades. All the shades in a compact are designed in a way that they complement each other but still provide the contrast if needed.

Formula and Ingredients

The outstanding part about this palette of shades by Artis is the formula of the powder. It includes natural minerals and the process which goes into pressing. The ingredients are chosen so they don't harm the delicate skin around the eye. The colours are jet-milled to turn them into microscopic particles which makes them easy to blend and provides a silky texture around the eye.

When I tried the monograph-pressed powder eyeshadow quads portfolio by Artis, I immediately fell in love with it. The quads are easy to take out from the portfolio with an easy push button. Each quad is embedded with a mirror and a mini applicator with two ends. So it's convenient for you to set your makeup on the go.

My favourite brushes to apply are from Artis. I recently started using their Elite Collection and it is worth checking out for face as well as eye brushes.
