Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet 24 Dark Cherie — Velvet Matte Liquid Lipstick
Discover the bold allure of Dark Cherie, a deep plum shade from Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet. This liquid lipstick delivers intense color with a featherlight, velvet-matte finish that feels comfortable on lips rather than heavy or drying. The formula blends high pigmentation with a soft, melt-in texture to give a sophisticated, long-lasting look from morning to night.
Its innovative texture is built around a quarter-velvet concentrate to lock in vivid color in a single sweep, while evanescent oils help keep lips feeling natural and hydrated as the color sets into a true matte that doesn’t settle into fine lines. The result is a daring shade you can wear with confidence for hours of wear without constant touch-ups.
In practice, this lipstick glides on with a soft applicator that’s easy to control, delivering an even coat that dries to a non-glossy, matte finish. The lightweight feel makes it suitable for all-day wear from desk to dinner, so you can achieve a statement lip without sacrificing comfort.
Key Features
- Long-wear up to 24 hours with a comfortable, velvet-matte finish.
- Rich pigmentation achieved with 1/4 velvet concentrate for bold, opaque color in a single sweep.
- Soft applicator (flocked/foam) designed for precise, effortless application.

Fragrance Notes
The Rouge Edition Velvet range includes a fragrance component in the formula. Expect a subtle scent during application, contributed by ingredients typical of cosmetic fragrances such as alpha-isomethyl ionone, linalool, citronellol and geraniol, which together create a soft floral-woody profile. The fragrance is generally light and tends to fade once the product dries on the lips. If you’re sensitive to fragrance, you may notice a brief aroma at first application.
Some users report a faint scent during application that becomes barely perceptible once the color sets, adding to the overall pleasant application experience.
Shade Spotlight: 24 Dark Cherie
Dark Cherie is described as a deep plum color, offering a rich, wine-toned look that reads luxe and dramatic. It’s a stand-out shade for evenings, special occasions, or when you want a bold lip that pairs beautifully with a smoky eye. The plum tone is consistently associated with this name and shade in multiple listings, making it a recognizable signature within the Rouge Edition Velvet line.
How to Use
- Apply the product in a smooth line starting at the center of the upper lip and moving outward toward the corners, then repeat for the lower lip for a full-coverage look.
- For a deeper, more opaque finish, layer once the first coat has dried to set the pigment.
- To achieve a “bitten lip” effect, dab a small amount with your fingertip before the gloss fully dries and blend the edges for a soft, blurred edge.
Who Is This Shade For?
Dark Cherie is ideal for color lovers who want a dramatic, evening-worthy lip with comfortable, long-wearing performance. It suits cooler and neutral undertones particularly well, and it pairs effortlessly with a charcoal or plum eye look. Perfect for dates, parties, or nights out, it’s a reliable go-to when you need high-impact color that stays put. The formula is designed to glide on with minimal drag and to maintain a velvety, non-drying feel throughout wear.
Practical Tips and Insights
For best results, prep lips with a light exfoliation and clean base to ensure even color adhesion. Because the formula is designed to dry down to a matte finish, consider a lip liner in a matching plum shade if you want extra precision along the lip line or to enhance longevity on dry areas. The scent is generally light and during wear it remains comfortable for most users, with the fragrance ingredients contributing a subtle bouquet rather than a strong perfume.
