Hello! I hope you are doing well! Today I'm going to breakdown all of my liquid lipsticks and tell you which ones are my favorites, and which ones are, well, not. Also please excuse the random cucamelons and tomato? I didn't realize they were in the pictures when I took them.
First up are the Colourpop Ultra Matte Liquid Lipsticks! These can be purchased on Colourpop.com for $6. From left to right the shades are: Midi, Solow, Cluesless, and Bumble. They have a very thin, liquidy, almost water like consistency.This is probably my least favorite formula of liquid lipstick, it is very drying and flakes. I am one of those people who habitually, and unconsciously, rubs my lips together and when I did that with these on the product flaked even more than with just normal wear. However, on the plus side, they are long wearing and the price doesn't break the bank.
Next up is TheBalm's Meet Matt(e) Hughes liquid lipsticks. These retail for $17 at kohls.com.
The shade shown above is Committed. This is a warm terra cotta mauve shade, similar to Kat Von D's Lolita but lighter. Meet Matte Hughes have a Girl Scout thin mint cookie smell, they have decent wear time, and do not flake. They also have a mousse like texture. Unfortunately they remain tacky on the lips, but I have found setting it with translucent powder helps some of the tackiness, or if you eat that also helps the tackiness.
Now we have the Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipsticks. These retail for $20 at Sephora.com. The shades shown above left to right are: Lolita and Lovesick. The Everlasting liquid lipsticks have a thin, watery consistency similar to the Colourpop ultra matte ones, however these do not flake and are not as drying. They have a good wear time and hold up decently through eating and drinking. These do have a slight sweet scent but once they have dried down completely (which takes like no time) you can't smell anything. This is one of my favorite formulas.
Next up is the Tarte Tarteist Lip Paint in Namaste. The full size retails for $20 at Sephora.com. This lip paint has a minty cookie smell as well, however, it is not as strong as the scent of the Meet Matte Hughes lipstick. The Tarteist lip paint has a thin moussey texture as well and it dries down to a satiny texture that is very pleasant, for me. This, unfortunately, is not very long wearing and doesn't last through eating or drinking, well unless you drink through a straw... Regardless of the staying power this is still one of my favorite formulas. One bad thing though, is that there is some oily leakage that escapes, it's not a lot, but still annoying.
Halfway through! The Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor in the shade Seduction. This retails for about $7.99 at target.com. However you can also get it at Ulta.com for $8.99. Application of this product can be a bit tricky, because if you apply too much it doesn't dry down matte, but if you don't apply enough it can look patchy and streaky. If you get the perfect amount it still takes a few minutes to dry down matte, and once it does it has decent wear time, not as great as say Kat Von D, but decent. This liquid lipstick has a strong scent, probably the strongest of them all. It smells like chemical fruit and frosting, it does linger for a little bit until it dries, but then I didn't notice it much after that. The texture of the product is thicker and not moussey, but the applicator is great.
The OFRA Long lasting liquid lipsticks retail for $19.90 at ofracosmetics.com. These have a moussey, light texture and feel nice on the lips, they don't get drying until after a few hours of wear. They have pretty good wear time for being moussey and they have a nice cake scent. They are some of my favorites. Shown above are the shades: Pasedena and Mina.
Up next is the Colourpop Ultra Satin Lips. These also, like their matte cousins retail for $6 at Colourpop.com. I personally prefer the satin lips over the matte lips from Colourpop by leaps and bounds. The formula is thicker and almost moussey, but not quite. It has no real noticeable scent. These do not dry down completely so there is some transfer but they wear throughout the day quite well. The shade shown above is Dopey, which is a perfect fall color! This is probably my favorite formula (and price point) out of them all!
Finally, the Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick in the shade Bella. The full size retails for $16 at Sephora.com, which is a pretty decent price point compared to the other higher end liquid lipsticks. They have a sweet, non offensive scent that dissipates quickly. The formula is thin, but not watery thin. It dries quickly and lasts for most of the day. These are drying, but I mean that is to be expected, I don't love this formula but I don't hate it, if I owned a color that actually looked good on me I'd probably like them more. I look like a crazy clown when I wear this shade, it's actually really funny.
What is your favorite liquid lipsticks? Any that I absolutely have to try? Let me know down below!
