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.
