"Right off the bat on Test Day, everyone agreed: Elson 4 is extremely (!!) pigmented. A little truly goes a LONG way. For most of us, just one dip delivered full color: enough for a complete application, with product still left on the wand. Shelby also liked it, and felt the blue base played well with her cool undertones. Though she usually prefers deeper, burgundy-type reds, this one still felt flattering and classic."
"Megan, who normally sticks to neutral lip balms, found the lipstick surprisingly fun and easy to wear. She wasn't sold on the high price tag, but appreciated the instant confidence boost a bold red lip can provide. That said, the lipstick could absolutely gain extra mileage if used with its matching liner, and set properly - with a setting spray, Taylor's trick of powder-setting it through a tissue, or both."
Pat McGrath Elson 4 delivers intensely pigmented classic red color where one dip provides full coverage and leaves product on the wand. The shade's blue base flatters cool undertones while still suiting some who prefer deeper reds. The formula performs like a wearable liquid matte: it fades somewhat over the day but often leaves non-patchy, still-wearable color at removal. Drydown can feel slightly drying after two to three hours, but layering a hydrating balm or gloss mitigates dryness. Longevity and transfer resistance improve with a matching liner and proper setting techniques, and a little product goes a long way.
