I just got this lipstick and I was wondering why I waited so long! It's a deep, slightly greyed purple, but still very vibrant. It's not very red like a lot of other purples. I find that mine was creamier than a lot of my other Illamasqua lipsticks. This posed a problem with it rubbing off more on my straws and whatever came in contact with my mouth, but after about 5 hours at college, I still had a full mouth of lipstick like I did when I left home.
The biggest downside for this would probably be that it's not meant for everyone. It's not really a skin color and tone shade, but a personality kind of shade, and what you pair it with. It's a bit tricky.
I like to pair it with neutral eye and face make up, a thin line of gel eyeliner and neutral brows. Either that or full on heavy everything make up. Nothing in between. It's just not one of those colors.

I adore the color.

gorgeous violet ls with a satin finish, 2 swipes for full opacity. not drying at all. has the same vanilla scent that mac ls has. love it

This lipstick is definitely not for the feint of heart. It's the most unique shade in my collection for a very good reason. Kontrol is a blue purple, violet, and is very pigmented. When you swipe it on your lips, the color of the stick is the color that goes on your lips. It's extremely opaque and saturated. The finish is a matte, and I've tried other matte lipsticks from Illamasqua and have found the other to be quite drying. That is not the case with Kontrol, it has much more cream and moisture to it while still giving that matte look.

"Kontrol" is a creamy deep blue violet with a satin finish. It has a little shimmer but it's almost unnoticeable and it disappears easily. Depending on the layers you apply, it's the type of lip product you get: it goes from a sheer blueish stain to a deep violet moisturizing lip color. It's very versatile and different from other Illamasqua's lipsticks.
If you're into violet lips, you must try this one!
