Does anyone else have the Rose Inoui in matte? I love the colour but the texture is so weird - it's not that drying kind of matte, but it's very patchy. My lips are not dry, other lipsticks go on looking fine, and then I put the Rose Inoui on, and it looks dry and patchy. So weird. I'm wondering if I got a bad batch?

I have the same impression on my lips (but not my hand) with Orange Boite in matt. I dont think it is a bad batch. Some colours have the tendency obviosly the orangy ones.

I go over my lips with a cotton bud before applying. I think the skincare plus and dry skin at all means it adheres to the wrong places.

If you want intensity, buff with a cotton bud (or whatever) apply one coat, blot, apply second coat.

they do, I was annoyed because the colour on the screen looked lighter than what I normally wear and ended up with a lipstick darker than my normal shade. Oh well.

Campaign photography is always on the lighter/brighter/more saturated end. The lights + PS always push it that way. It's even the same with leather colours.

Rose Encens was darker than any online source suggested too, but my lips are fairly dark to being with so perhaps it's a good thing (for me). I still like Epice, and when I get through the mountain of lip and eye stuff I seem to have accumulated recently, I may buy it, but as a refill.
 
So many of the H lip colors read differently then seeing them up close & personal.
I did order several that were disappointing & was able to see them at the H event & then would up
purchasing others that didn't look like they would work from the website.
I was glad to get the limited editions for future new color refills
Go figure, right? LOL

Same here. Most of my lipsticks by any brand are matte, but the Rose Inoui has the worst application of all. I can‘t ever get an even non-streaky look even if my lips are in prime condition.

Yeah, I have gotten it to the point that it looks decent, but it's definitely not a texture that I feel is acceptable, at any price tbh. If not for the color being so unique and the hassle of doing anything in the current environment, I would probably go into the boutique and see if they would swap it out for a different color.
