This product is one of my go too's! However the reason I gave this product 4 stars is because of the price, this retails for $20 not including shipping/taxes, It's not very affordable but then again this brand is pretty luxury. This is my first time using tarte's lip paint. Aside from the price I loved it! I have the color "delish" which is a mauve-pink color, very natural. The lip stain is matte and feels like you have nothing on your lips, it also drys very quickly as well. I noticed I did not have to reapply again until like 4-5 hours in the day so it did hold up even through drinking and light snacks.
I found this matte lipstick to not dry totally matte. It looks fairly matte, but the staying power and opacity isn't quite up to the same level as other matte lip products I've tried.
The color is natural medium rosy-mauve brown that doesn't pull too mauve on me, which is always a concern because mauve tends to wash me out. As I said, it is fairly opaque but not to the same degree as other mattes.
Because it stayed slightly wet it did not dry my lips out and was easy to touch up. Although the color is very flattering I am not 100% certain I will repurchase just because I have a hang up about mattes being totally matte and I felt like the color did fade within a couple hours.
I had never used any products from Tarte prior to receiving the birthday freebies.
The lip paint has a slightly minty smell to it -- it threw me off a little but I suppose it's better than smelling like chemicals. It's thick and creamy and moisturizes, but this is bad if you're prone to chapped lips (like yours truly). The formula tends to settle and sink into every nook, cranny, and line in your lips, making them look ultra dry and chapped. I'm not sure if this is the case for all shades, but it definitely happened with this one.
Its creaminess makes it somewhat difficult to get a nice, precise line. I found myself trying to play cleanup along the edges with Q-tips and tissues. It really transfers when drinking and eating.
Now, the color itself appears to be a pinkish-tan-nude shade, but upon application, it didn't quite look the same as in the tube. I have fair skin and it actually looks really light on me. It's NOT flattering. I look like I'm not really wearing a lippie at all, which is okay if you're into that, I guess -- but I typically wear bolder colors. This shade is a no-go for me.
This lippie isn't the best nor is it the worst I've tried. I don't think I'll ever spend actual money on it, though. I'll stick to Colourpop and Sephora brand!
