Super Lustrous Ultra Lipstick

Ultra deserves a closer look when you want full-color lipstick but are interested in a creamy, softly diffused presentation. Its finish needs careful wording: Revlon’s product page describes radiant color and creamy texture, while a brand article places it in a matte discussion. Treat that inconsistency as a question to resolve with current shade imagery.

A concrete use case

A routine it could suit.

Consider it for an everyday full-color lip where you can inspect the shade in ordinary light before deciding whether it belongs with your cream or matte favorites. Keep a photograph of the exact label with your notes.

  • Radiant cream finish
  • Traditional bullet application
The choice has a cost

When to reconsider.

Choose a product with an unambiguous finish description if a precisely flat or distinctly glossy result is nonnegotiable. The word Ultra and the family name do not settle where the surface sits for your purpose.

Manufacturer descriptions differ across the product page and a related matte-lipstick article. The received version and observed finish should resolve the question before a performance verdict.

Beyond the family name

What sets it apart.

The official product page lists optical diffusing powder and a creamy texture with radiant color; a Revlon matte-lipstick article uses different finish language. Check the actual version and shade rather than resolving the discrepancy from a family name alone.

  • Revlon’s Ultra product page describes full coverage, a creamy texture, radiant color and optical diffusing powder.
  • A Revlon hydrating-matte article describes Ultra within a matte discussion; finish terminology is inconsistent.
Skin depth / undertone / natural lip color

Find a shade direction.

Resolve the intended surface using current shade imagery before making a skin-tone recommendation, because official finish language varies. Compare the exact color in consistent light and decide whether its contrast is quiet or deliberate against your own lip pigmentation.

Compare a muted rose, peach-rose or light-brown reference for a quieter look. A deeper red or berry creates a more deliberate contrast. Keep natural lip pigment in the comparison.
ReferenceColor families to compare
LightCompare a muted rose, peach-rose or light-brown reference for a quieter look. A deeper red or berry creates a more deliberate contrast.
MediumCompare rose-brown, warm pink-brown or terracotta references at a similar depth before changing undertone. Increase depth or brightness when contrast is the goal.
TanCompare caramel-brown, rich rose or terracotta references with your own lips. Check whether lighter shades become a deliberate contrast or look different from your intended effect.
DeepCompare cocoa, plum-brown or rich rose-brown references for a closer-depth look. Bright or light shades can also be deliberate choices; their coverage needs to be visible in a real example.

These are optional color-family starting points, not verified matches to this product’s shades. Skin depth does not determine undertone, and neither fixes a person’s color preferences. Check the exact shade and its appearance on your natural lip color.

Questions before choosing.

  • Does the exact shade image show the amount of reflection you want?
  • Have you distinguished Ultra from the original Super Lustrous lipstick?
