If you’ve all but given up on wearing lipstick now that masks are de rigueur, the new Lancôme L’Absolu Rouge Intimatte line will help you rediscover your love of a bold and bright painted lip. Or at least that’s what happened when Team Makeup.com tested the formula. The latest innovation in the L’Absolu Rouge line, Intimatte has a comfortable second-skin-like texture you don’t often get with a matte lippie — the formula even contains hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid. But while the lipstick feels soft and light, the pigments are anything but subtle. There are 12 shades in the range, and we swiped on five of them so you can see what they look like on our editors.

You have to prep your lips in order to get a smooth application, and they can feel heavy and drying once on. And then taking them off can be a whole thing. The Intimatte formula is the perfect option for those who feel the same way I do. It offers a non-chalky, matte look, yet feels lightweight and hydrating. The shade I tried, Beloved Berry, is a rich hue that can be layered to reach your desired level of boldness. While the staying power isn’t quite as impressive as a thick, liquid matte formula, the comfort and ease of application and removal earned this lipstick major points in my book.
