Overview
Lancôme Absolu Rouge Matte Lipstick in 397 is a dark, inky berry in the Absolu Rouge Matte's soft matte finish — one of the deepest and most dramatically bold shades in the Absolu Rouge Matte range. The dark berry quality gives it a depth and darkness that places it in the territory of the most directional and fashion-forward lip colour choices available in the collection. In the soft matte format the dark berry reads as clean, modern, and powerfully intentional. The Absolu Rouge Matte formula's slightly softer wax system makes this a marginally more comfortable everyday dark berry matte than the Drama Matte would be.
Apply over the Lancôme Absolu Rouge Lip Base with a matching deep dark berry liner for the most precise and comfortable result. The full Absolu Rouge Matte collection is available within the Lancôme lip range at Pearl Chemist Group.

What Does Lancôme Absolu Rouge Matte Lipstick Do?
Lancôme Absolu Rouge Matte Lipstick in 397 delivers what appears to be a dark, inky berry in the Absolu Rouge Matte's soft matte finish — a shade positioned at the very deep end of the berry spectrum, with the kind of depth and dark character that makes it a genuine statement shade of considerable presence. In the soft matte format the dark berry has a clean, flat authority that gives it a modern, directional quality whilst the Absolu Rouge Matte's slightly softer wax system compared to the Drama Matte makes it marginally more comfortable for extended daily wear at this depth of pigmentation.
Worn over the Lancôme Absolu Rouge Lip Base with a matching deep dark liner, shade 397 delivers a dramatically bold soft matte result within any dark and directional lip collection.
How to Apply Lancôme Absolu Rouge Matte Lipstick
- Prep the lips. Apply the Lancôme Absolu Rouge Lip Base and allow to settle. The Absolu Rouge Matte is more forgiving than the Drama Matte on an unprepared surface but still benefits significantly from a smooth, conditioned base — particularly for a deeper shade.
- Fill the lip with a matching liner. Apply a matching deep warm liner across the full lip surface before the lipstick for precision and extended longevity.
- Define the outer edge precisely. Trace the outer lip line cleanly, paying particular attention to the Cupid's bow.
- Apply from the centre outward. Press the bullet flat at the Cupid's bow and draw outward. Repeat on the lower lip. The soft matte formula applies more easily than the Drama Matte.
- Fill in completely. Ensure full, even matte coverage across the entire lip surface.
- Blot lightly and reapply if desired. A gentle blot followed by a second coat deepens the matte quality and extends longevity.
- Correct edges. Use a small concealer brush at the Cupid's bow and corners if needed.
The Absolu Rouge Matte is slightly more forgiving to apply than the Drama Matte and can be lightly blotted between coats. A matching liner across the full lip surface remains important for precision and longevity at deeper shade depths.
Who Is Lancôme Absolu Rouge Matte Lipstick in 397 For?
- Lip concern: A dark inky berry in the soft matte finish — deep, directional, and bold with slightly more comfort than the Drama Matte for extended daily wear at this depth.
- Skin tone: The depth and cool quality of a dark berry is most flattering on medium to deeper complexions and cool to neutral-toned complexions across the range. On warm complexions the cool quality at this depth may feel at odds — testing is strongly advisable.
- Finish preference: Soft matte — clean and flat with slightly more comfort than the Drama Matte at a very dark berry depth. For the most comfortable dark berry matte, consider the Intimatte 226 Berry Intime or 282 Burgundy Intime as alternatives.
- Occasion: Evening occasions, fashion-forward settings, and any context where a dark, inky berry in a clean soft matte format is the deliberate and committed intention.
What Shades Are Available?
Lancôme Absolu Rouge Matte Lipstick is available in a range of shades spanning warm nudes, classic roses, reds, and deeper tones in the Absolu Rouge Matte soft matte finish. Shades available at Pearl Chemist Group include 184, 186, 187, 189, 197, 198, 290, 378, 393, 397, and 505.

FAQs
What is the best dark berry soft matte lipstick in the UK?
Lancôme Absolu Rouge Matte 397 delivers a dark inky berry in the soft matte finish — one of the deepest and most dramatically directional shades in the Absolu Rouge Matte range. The soft matte format gives the dark berry a clean, flat authority with slightly more comfort than the Drama Matte at this depth of pigmentation. For the most comfortable dark berry matte in the Absolu Rouge range, the Intimatte 226 Berry Intime or 282 Burgundy Intime offer a comparable shade with significantly better hydrating comfort through their Sodium Hyaluronate formulation.
What is the best long-lasting matte lipstick that does not dry out lips?
For the most comfortable dark berry matte in the Absolu Rouge range, the Intimatte formulas offer the best answer — particularly the Intimatte 226 Berry Intime or 282 Burgundy Intime with their Sodium Hyaluronate. If the Absolu Rouge Matte format is preferred for 397, thorough preparation — the Lancôme Absolu Rouge Lip Base applied beforehand, a fully filled dark berry liner beneath, and a gentle exfoliation the night before — is essential for the most comfortable result at this depth of dark berry pigmentation.
Is the Absolu Rouge Matte suitable for dry or mature lips?
The Absolu Rouge Matte is slightly more comfortable on dry or mature lips than the Drama Matte but not as comfortable as the Intimatte. For dry or mature lips at the depth of a dark berry, the Absolu Rouge Intimatte in a comparable shade offers a significantly more comfortable matte experience. If the Absolu Rouge Matte format is preferred, meticulous preparation is essential at this extraordinary depth of dark pigmentation.
What makeup looks work best with a dark berry soft matte lipstick?
Absolute restraint everywhere else on the face. Clean, flawless skin, perfected brows, and nothing more for the most elegant and modern result. A dark inky berry in the soft matte format carries the entire look on its own. For evening, a precise black liner on the upper lash line can add definition without competing with the depth of the lip. The soft matte format gives the dark berry a slightly more intimate quality than the flat Drama Matte finish — making it fractionally more approachable whilst still delivering powerful, directional depth.
Is Lancôme makeup cruelty-free and vegan?
Lancôme is part of the L'Oréal Group and is not certified cruelty-free by major organisations including Leaping Bunny and PETA. Lancôme Absolu Rouge Matte Lipstick contains Beeswax and Carmine in its formulation, making it unsuitable for vegans. For the most current information, check directly with Lancôme or the brand's official UK website.
Is Lancôme Absolu Rouge Matte Lipstick a good gift?
A dark inky berry like shade 397 makes a boldly directional gift for someone with cool or neutral-toned skin who appreciates the most fashion-forward and dramatically deep end of the Absolu Rouge Matte range.
