MAKE UP FOR EVER Aqua Rouge
What it is: A liquid lip color that provides the intense and long-lasting hold of a lip stain with the eye-catching shine of a gloss.What it does: Formulated with a combination of high molecular weight polymers and volatile oils, Aqua Rouge locks color on the lips for a smudge-proof result that will not transfer or fade. Its intensely pigmented formula provides immediate, opaque color with extreme shine, and its creamy, non-sticky texture glides effortlessly on the lips for comfortable wear.What else you need to know: Aqua Rouge’s double-ended packaging allows for a simple, two-step application: apply lip color with precision using the ergonomic, foam applicator and evenly distribute the clear top with the polyester brush to lock the color onto the lips. Sephora is the exclusive beauty retailer for this product.

Review 1 for Aqua Rouge
-05.21.13
Quick Take: long wearing
I'm not a big lipstick wearer, but thus stuff I like. I got pretty bright colors, but I find that I can layer it; lightly for softer color and heavier for true bright color. It's tacky once you but it on. The gloss seems to set the color and it lasts forever.

Review 2 for Aqua Rouge
Pomegranate Pink is the one for me!
-05.21.13
Quick Take: long wearing, creamy, moisturizing, flexible
Finally a punch of color that doesn't make me feel like a clown! AND it's long lasting! Awesome! I purchased one of the new colors #19 - Pomegranate Pink. On my skin tone it's almost a lighter shade/tone of #10 - Raspberry (which is also a beautiful color, but a little too much POW! for me).

Review 3 for Aqua Rouge
excellent coverage
-05.21.13
Quick Take: long wearing
Wow, it really stays on. Unless you're eating something oily, then you just get a lipstick stained look. Gloss is very smooth, not at all sticky. Will but more colors

Review 4 for Aqua Rouge
Great color, long lasting...
-05.20.13
Quick Take: long wearing
I should admit that I am by no means a lipstick expert. I only wear lipstick a few times a year but am making an effort to experiment with it more to get a fun pop of color, especially for summer. This coral color is really gorgeous and flattering, and overall I am impressed with it's wear time, lasting through drinks, dinner and beyond. The one thing I did have trouble with is that you have to be pretty precise when applying it, if you dab one time to many at your lip with the applicator, it will actually remove the color and you'll have a hard time getting it back on. This might just be a factor of long-wear lipstick, and I'm sure I need more practice :) Overall I like it!

This is by far my favorite lip product!! It stays on all day. I've always had trouble leaving lip marks on people but with this I have yet to leave any lip print! It's fabulous!

Review 7 for Aqua Rouge
Disappointed
-05.17.13
I am a longtime MUFE fan but this product is, for the most part, a big fail. I have three colors - 8 Iconic Red, 15 Pink, and 10 Raspberry. Actually, the red is great and the reason my review has three stars. I don't know if it has a different formulation than pink and raspberry, but those two wear unevenly, are hard to spread evenly, and stay sticky for a long time. They're hard on lip brushes, too. Also, the raspberry is more of a wine color - it's really dark. I'm really bummed I didn't return these.

Review 8 for Aqua Rouge
Light Rosewood
-05.16.13
Quick Take: long wearing, moisturizing
This is my first lip stain and I'm pretty impressed. The color was vibrant all day. I touched up after eating and drinking but it wasn't really necessary. The Light Rosewood was a pretty intense color against my fair skin but was still very pretty. I will probably save this for a night color and try it again in a lighter shade for the daytime.

Quick Take: long wearing, creamy
Amazing color pay off, very creamy, and the only bad thing is that it get streaky after a while. I personally don't like it with out the gloss.

Review 10 for Aqua Rouge
Love this stuff, though colours not always true
-05.16.13
Quick Take: creamy, moisturizing, long wearing, dual purpose, like a stain, doesn't bleed, colours not always true
I originally came into the store to find a good lip stain for me. I am extremely active throughout the day, and I wanted a colour that would stay on my lips without having to retouch every few hours.
Well. Aqua Rouge is FANTASTIC for this. It goes on and stays on. That being said, be cautious it stays on your lips, other wise you'll have a mess on your hands. I love the fact that it is dual purposed. Since you apply the colour first, you have the option of using the gloss that comes with to add shine or leave it as a wonderful matte finish. You do need to wait a minute to apply the gloss afterwards in order for the colour to "set", otherwise you get the pigment mixed in with the clear gloss. If you wait, however, the pigment does not transfer onto the gloss applicator, and leaves your clear gloss completely clean.
The only downfall I have found is in the shades. Normally, nudes look good on me, however when I purchased the nude, it came out a horrid muddy brown that washed me out and looked awful. My cousin also bought the burgundy shade, but it came out more brown and darker than it appeared from the bottle. Yet my first purchase of the pink (#15) looked phenomenal on me. So be cautious when selecting.

Review 11 for Aqua Rouge
Lasting
-05.16.13
Quick Take: long wearing
This is the best long lasting lipstick I have used. It is pretty matte but once you put on the lip balm, it doesn't feel dry anymore. And the colour lasts. Amazing!!!
I got No.18 and it's a pretty bright coral colour. I love the colour and the longevity of it.

Review 12 for Aqua Rouge
kimberlyab
Love it from a someone who isn't a lip lover
-05.15.13
I'm an eye girl so, I either forget to put a lip color on or I do and it wears off and forget to reapply. I'm fair and bought #15 Pink. I love it! It lasts all day unless I eat stuff with a lot of oil or dressing but, it is truly waterproof - I drink lots of water and a couple of cups of tea each day. Best of all - it's non-drying - many long lasting lip colors just destroy your lips and leech out all of the moisture but, not this one! I'm a fan! I want to buy several more colors!!

Review 15 for Aqua Rouge
OMG
-05.13.13
Quick Take: long wearing
I bought shade number 15, the new sephora at my mall doesn't have many color options but I see online has a lot more. The shade I got is a pinky..coral. This was my first time buying this brand, and I'm in love. It stayed on all day! I was even rubbing my finger against my lip and nothing was moving, or smudging. It's awesome. It has a matte finish..almost like a lipstick, it's not sticky even once you put the gloss on top. I love this stuff and will be buying more colors! Give it a try..its 100% guaranteed!!

This lipstick is not long-lasting and it comes off unevenly. Very disappointed! If I could rate it at zero stars I would.

Review 17 for Aqua Rouge
ewwww
-05.12.13
I liked the color, but it didn't wear evenly on me. By my second cup of coffee, I had "clown mouth". I tried this with a primer, without a primer, with a clear lip liner, without a lip liner, with the gloss, with a different gloss, with no gloss. . . no matter what I did, it wore off in clumps in different parts of my lips and when I tried to reapply, it wouldn't go on evenly because I didn't have an even base. Just yucky. . . I returned it!

Quick Take: long wearing
I love all of my Make up Forever products & this is no exception. This product does what it claims to. I love how it wears. When worn properly it doesn't come off when you eat ort drink & the shine is awesome. This lip color lasts all day. You won't be disappointed.
