In-Depth Look at the Formula Characteristics

$15.00/0.12 oz. – $125.00 Per Ounce

This remarkable formula boasts “intense color” paired with a “matte texture” designed to “not crack, fade, or bleed,” promising long-lasting wear complemented by “8 hours of hydration.” The shades exhibited exceptional pigmentation, achieving a mostly opaque color payoff in just one layer, aligning perfectly with the product’s claims.

While the texture feels denser and “firm” in the tube, it allows for a smooth application across the lips without any tugging, making it comfortable to wear. Surprisingly, they feel creamier than they appear, providing a delightful experience.

Most shades in this collection applied evenly without highlighting any lip texture or lines. However, a few shades exhibited tendencies to settle into lip lines or applied less uniformly.

These lipsticks are incredibly lightweight and transfer-resistant. They remain comfortable during wear, lasting approximately six hours. A handful of lighter shades typically lasted around four hours, but the majority of this range, being mid-tone or deeper, offered impressive longevity overall. Users will also appreciate the mildly hydrating formula that develops over time, accompanied by a subtle, sweet scent without any noticeable taste.

This lipstick line evokes memories of Pat McGrath’s Matte Trance Lipsticks but with a distinctly less creamy texture and natural shine, revealing a true matte finish that many will adore.
