Judydoll Cushion Matte Lock Lip Cream Review & Swatches

Hello, beautiful people! Today I’m sharing my Judydoll Cushion Matte Lock Lip Cream review and swatches with you. If you have pale olive skin, you already know how hard it is to guess what a lip color will do on you from brand swatches. So I bought four shades of the Judydoll Cushion Matte Lock Lip Cream and put them on my face for you, along with my honest review of the formula.

I purchased these lip creams myself. This post contains affiliate links, which means I may earn a small commission if you buy through them, at no extra cost to you. Thanks for shopping through my links and supporting my site. It keeps my site active!

Short version: I find all four shades extremely flattering on my fair olive skin. The formula is comfortable and easy to touch up, but I did not get anywhere near the 24 hours of wear that the brand claims.

Quick Answer

The Judydoll Cushion Matte Lock Lip Cream is a velvety matte liquid lip color with a cushion tip applicator. I tested G204 Taro Haze, N106 Ruby Rush, G206 Midnight Confetti and G205 Black Galaxy, and every one of them works on my very fair, desaturated, neutral cool yellow olive skin. Three of the four have glitter in the formula. It is comfortable and easy to touch up. It is not a 24 hour lip color on me: my most finicky shade needed a touch up after 5 hours of wear and food.

Where to Buy

You may also see this product listed as the Judydoll Cushion Matte Lip Cream or the Judydoll Matte Stay Lip Cream, depending on the retailer.

Is Judydoll Cruelty-Free?

Judydoll states that they are cruelty-free. They are not PETA or Leaping Bunny approved.

My Skin Tone for Reference

I describe my skin as very fair, desaturated, neutral cool yellow olive. You might call it pale olive, fair olive or porcelain olive. Most complexion products are too dark, too pink or too orange on me, and lip colors can pull in unexpected directions, which is exactly why I swatch everything on my face and not just my arm.

Packaging and Applicator

The lip cream comes in a twist-up tube with a soft cushion tip. You twist the base to push product up into the applicator. Judydoll says to twist 5 to 8 times the first time you use it, and then 1 to 2 twists for daily use.

The applicator was my one real frustration. With G205 Black Galaxy, the product didn’t even want to come out of the top of the cushion. It came out through all the sides instead, which seemed wasteful product wise.

For the other three shades, the applicator behaved as expected, and the product came out the top. It took me probably 10 twists per shade.

Formula and Comfort

Is it a comfortable formula? Yes. Judydoll describes it as a bouncy matte with a soft-focus finish that blurs lip lines, and I found it comfortable to wear. It’s a velvety matte formula, which I love, and it is forgiving on the lips. Black Galaxy, Midnight Confetti and Taro Haze all have glitter in the formula. If you press your lips together, more of the glitter appears. It has a slight scent, but it fades and doesn’t bother me.

Removal

It’s easy to remove with a biphase makeup remover.

Wear Time

The brand claims up to 24 hours of transfer-proof, waterproof wear. I did not experience 24 hour wear, and I couldn’t get close to it. The most finicky shade, G206 Midnight Confetti, needed to be touched up at the center and corners of my lips after 5 hours of wear and food. The good news is that it is easy to touch up.

Judydoll Cushion Matte Lock Lip Cream Swatches on Pale Olive Skin

Here is each shade on my face, so you can see how it looks on pale olive skin.

1. G204 Taro Haze on Pale Olive Skin

Taro Haze is a MLBB (my lips but better) type of neutral color. It’s a cool toned mauve pink nude with glitter. Press your lips together to make the glitter more apparent. It reminds me a bit of Urban Decay Backtalk.

2. N106 Ruby Rush on Fair Olive Skin

Ruby Rush is a beautiful classic bright neutral red. The formula was excellent and required minimal touch ups after eating.

3. G206 Midnight Confetti on Porcelain Olive Skin

This shade has glitter in the formula. Press your lips together and more of the glitter appears.

This was the most finicky of my four shades. It needed a touch up at the center and corners of my lips after 5 hours of wear and food. Despite the fact that it has the most problematic formula of the 4 shades, it’s my favorite. I love this berry wine burgundy purple hue.

4. G205 Black Galaxy on Pale Olive Skin

This is a neutral to neutral warm black that I find extremely flattering on me! This shade has glitter in the formula. Press your lips together and more of the glitter appears.

This is the shade that came out through the sides of the cushion applicator instead of the top. I feel like the twist up mechanism isn’t working correctly in this shade.

What Else I’m Wearing

Base: Vieve Skin Nova Complexion Balm in 125 Light Olive. Unfortunately, it is too dark and too saturated for my porcelain olive complexion.
Eyes: Cheeryep The Fall Purple Palette
Blush: I DIY’d my blush, it’s Huda Beauty Latte liquid filter blush combined with Mehron Pastel Blue creamstick.

Final Thoughts

All four shades of the Judydoll Cushion Matte Lock Lip Cream are extremely flattering on my fair olive skin. The formula is comfortable and easy to touch up. Just don’t buy it expecting 24 hours of wear, and be prepared for the cushion applicator to be a little messy. It’s currently on sale at YesStyle. Despite the finicky formula, Midnight Confetti is my favorite! I love all four of these colors. I would buy more if there was a more blue-toned purple or a deep oxblood wine that was released.
