The Essence 05 8H Matte Liquid Lipstick in Pink Blush delivers a fresh, cool pink matte finish that stays put for up to 8 hours without drying out lips. This vegan and cruelty-free liquid lipstick from German brand essence combines high pigment payoff, kiss-proof staying power, and waterproof wear in a lightweight formula priced for everyday makeup use. Available now at MedX Pharmacy across the UAE.
Why This Liquid Lipstick Works
The 8H Matte Liquid Lipstick uses a quick-drying liquid texture that transforms into an intense velvety matte finish on contact. Powered by silica and a blend of long-wear silicones, the formula resists smudging, transfer, and food contact through everyday wear. Unlike many matte liquid lipsticks that flake or crack on dry lips, this formula stays comfortable thanks to conditioning agents like Tribehenin and Octyldodecanol that prevent the tight, parched feel of traditional matte finishes.
Ideal For
This Pink Blush shade suits a wide range of UAE skin tones, working as a fresh everyday pink for office wear, brunches, and casual outings. The lightweight, kiss-proof formula performs well in Dubai heat and humidity without melting or transferring during long days outdoors or under face masks. Ideal for anyone seeking a long-wear matte lipstick at an affordable price point, the 2.5 ml bottle is also vegan and cruelty-free, making it suitable for shoppers who prioritise ethical beauty choices.

1. Start with clean, hydrated lips and exfoliate any dry flakes for the smoothest finish.
2. Outline lips with a matching lip liner such as the essence 8H Matte Comfort Lipliner for sharper definition.
3. Apply the liquid lipstick from the centre of the lips outward using the shaped doe-foot applicator. Avoid layering too thickly.
4. Let dry completely (about 30 to 60 seconds) for the matte finish to set and lock in place.
5. Reapply through the day only after eating oily foods. The formula resists kisses, water, and most snacks without touch-ups.
