Put your money where your mouth is! Amber Rose and her longtime makeup artist, Priscilla Ono, just designed the silkiest, easiest-to-apply, yet super long-lasting lip color, and you’re going to want to get your hands on one before they sell out!
Rose, 34, is the face of Flirt Cosmetics – and she’s so much more than just a pretty face! The model, rapper, musician and muse with Ono (“she’s the creative,†Rose tells Us) created MUVA Mouth Matte Liquid Lipsticks because they couldn’t find a formula on the market that had staying power without caking up.
“Amber and I have tried every brand. We definitely had our favorite formulas. We definitely had our un-favorite formulas,†Ono explained. “Some of them dry out your mouth way too much. And some of them will actually create a build-up around the mouth, which basically eliminates the whole reason of wearing a liquid lipstick all day without having to touch up.â€
So what was their mission when they set out to create this new magic formula in three universally flattering shades? Stylish chatted with the mom of Sebastian (4, with ex-husband Wiz Khalifa) and his godmother, Ono, to get the scoop.
Stylish: You’re kind of known for wearing a major lip. Would you ever leave the house without wearing lipstick?
Rose: No. I would actually leave the house with no makeup on and just lipstick on, in case. That’s my thing, yeah, if I have anything on, it’s definitely lipstick, 100 percent.
Stylish: What makes this formula different?
Ono: It’s really thin. It doesn’t get chunky throughout the day. Honestly, I don’t suggest it, but I have literally worn it from morning until night and it doesn’t crack or anything. A little goes a long way, so you don’t have to apply lots of coats because it’s so pigmented.
Stylish: Do you just use the wand to apply it? Or should you tap it in with your fingers? How do you get it to stay all day?
Ono: I suggest using the wand because it’s really long and has a pointed tip. If you don’t have a lip liner, you can use the tip as a lip liner. I usually use a fine-tipped lip brush to apply lipstick on my clients, but with this wand, I don’t have to even use a brush.
Stylish: Should you prep the lips with anything first?
Ono: Put a tiny bit of lip balm on or nothing at all. Definitely don’t use foundation to prep because that can actually make it clumpy. Usually I put a super think layer of lip balm on, you shouldn’t be able to see it. If your lips look shiny, blot them a little bit and then apply the liquid lipstick.
Stylish: There are three shades: a red and two neutrals. Which is your favorite?
Rose: I love a red lip, so I’ll probably go with the Rosebud.
Stylish: In the history of Amber Rose, can you remember your favorite lip moment?
Rose: Oh wow. I’ve had so many. I can honestly say that literally every time Priscilla does my makeup, my lip is always beautiful. For a long time, she would help me pick out the lip color and then I would do it myself because it just seemed easier to do my own lip. Then a few years ago she started putting lipstick on for me and now I refuse to put on my own lipstick. She does it so well.
Stylish: What if you have to touch up while you’re out?
Rose: Yeah, so I’ll tell her to usually put on a lip liner, so that helps it last and then I just trace over it because it’s so perfect. But I can’t do my lips as good as Priscilla does them!
Ono: She really likes the way I line. I usually go for a really rounded mouth for fullness, sexy, vitality – it just looks pretty.
