Best & Worst of Pat McGrath MatteTrance Lipsticks (Fall 2018)
Pat McGrath MatteTrance Lipsticks
Ta-da! I just finished reviewing the ten new shades of Pat McGrath MatteTrance Lipstick ($37.00 for 0.12 oz.) that were added this month to the line-up, so that means it’s time for a summary of which ones did the best. Per the brand, the MatteTrance formula is supposed to be “richly pigmented” with “”supreme hydration” and “opulent matte opacity.” They are quite pigmented, long-wearing, and comfortable to apply and to wear with minimal slip but lots of initial creaminess. I find that they’re of a cream-to-satin finish than a true matte, though they, like most satin finishes, wear down to a more matte finish over time.

Executive Realness is making my no-buy difficult, but I can do this.
Even though I have my eyes on 3 of these shades, first up will be Deep Orchid. Then, Executive Realness. All of them are really lovely, though!
Fabulous lipsticks and Guinevere is my favourite.
What a feat! 98% overall rating. Great job, PMG. I will certainly be adding a bunch more of these to my stash, starting with guinevere.
Number 1, 3 , 5 are the best shades which suit girls the most i like these shades
Oh my gosh, these are lovely! I certainly don’t need any more lipsticks (I have a serious lipstick addiction – LOL!). However, I can’t help but feel that Extravaganza, Deep Orchid, and Executive Realness should be in my life!
Nothing lower than an “A.” Astounding.
Pretty impressive!
I so wish I could swatch them all and go back home with a few of them! At least net-a-porter.com started stocking more of the range, that is a start!
Yay for greater accessibility!
Out of this release I picked up four, Executive Realness, Guinevere, Beautiful Stranger and Forbidden Love. I can pretty much predict that Deep Orchid will be my next purchase. Love this formula, love the shades and am so happy for Mother that she has been so successful with her brand.
Some of these shades were really cool. Looking forward to try them.
