Product details

Six Hera Sensual Powder Matte Liquid bottles with black faceted caps in rose, coral and brick shades on a greige stone table beside shea butter on a black stone and two matte swatches

Velvet matte liquid

A soft-matte liquid lip colour with a hazy, powdery velvet finish that also works as a blush.

Hera’s Sensual Powder Matte Liquid lays down a light coat of soft yet intense colour that dries to a blurred, velvety matte. Hera says the colour stays put for 12 hours without patching, diffuses easily for a just-blotted look, and can be tapped on cheeks too. A shea butter texture keeps lips comfortable instead of dry.

    Dab

    Wipe the applicator on the rim and dab colour onto the centre of the lips.

  2. 2

    Diffuse

    Blur it outwards for a soft, diffused flush of colour, or fill in the whole lip for full colour.

    Layer

    Add a second coat once the first has set for deeper colour.

    Cheeks

    Tap a small dot onto the cheeks and blend it out for a matching flush.
