ColourPop Beeper Ultra Matte Liquid Lipstick ($6.00 for 0.11 fl. oz.) is described as a “warm mid-tone taupe.” It’s a muted, medium-dark rosy brown with subtle, warm undertones and a flat, matte finish. I could see this leaning more neutral on those with naturally pink or cool-toned complexions. It had good pigmentation that applied with smooth, even color without “cracking” or emphasizing lip lines. The color lasted for seven hours on me and was lightly drying after four hours of wear. KVD Beauty Bow 'n' Arrow (P, $20.00) is lighter (95% similar). MAC Burnt Spice (P, $21.00) is brighter (95% similar). ColourPop Can U Even (P, $9.00) is lighter, cooler (90% similar).

ColourPop Clueless Ultra Matte Liquid Lipstick ($6.00 for 0.11 fl. oz.) is described as a “dusty mauve pink.” It’s a muted, medium pink with neutrla-to-cool undertones and a matte finish. It is funny that ColourPop said “Never look like a full-on Monet” with this shade, because it actually looks quite horrific up-close as the color cracks and is very prone to flaking while worn. It had the color payoff, but it lacked the smoothness and more even fading/wear of the majority of the line. It was moderately drying and lasted for five hours before it had turned patchy and uneven enough that it needed to be removed. ColourPop Last Call (LE, $7.00) is lighter, glossier (90% similar). ColourPop Love Muffin (P, $7.00) is lighter, glossier (90% similar). MAC Angel (P, $19.00) is cooler, glossier (85% similar). MAC Crème Cup (PiP, $19.00) is lighter, glossier (90% similar). Jouer Blush (P, $18.00) is darker (90% similar). KVD Beauty Lovecraft (DC, $21.00) is darker, warmer (85% similar). ColourPop Shimmy (LE, $6.50) is lighter, cooler (90% similar). Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk (P, $22.00) is darker, warmer (85% similar). Maybelline Peach Buff (P, $7.99) is lighter (85% similar). ColourPop Contempo (DC, $7.00) is darker, glossier (85% similar). KVD Beauty Melancholia (P, $20.00) is lighter, brighter, cooler (85% similar). ColourPop Cami (P, $6.00) is darker, warmer (80% similar). Too Faced Queen B (P, $21.00) is darker, cooler (90% similar). Urban Decay Backtalk (DC, $18.00) is darker, glossier (90% similar). Tarte Cabana Boy (P, $22.00) is darker, glossier (85% similar). ColourPop Bianca (DC, $6.50) is more muted, cooler (85% similar). Bite Beauty Sake (DC, $26.00) is darker, glossier (85% similar). KVD Beauty Magick (DC, $21.00) is darker, glossier (80% similar). Dose of Colors A Mauve Story (LE, $18.00) is lighter, warmer (80% similar). See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side.

Formula Summary: ColourPop Ultra Ultra Matte Liquid Lipstick ($6.00 for 0.11 fl. oz.) is a long-wearing, pigmented lipstick that starts off glossy and dries down quickly to that super flat matte finish. They have minimal transfer with some of the lighter shades having almost none for the first few hours of wear, but any time you’ve had a meal, they lose that transfer-resistant quality to a noticeable degree. They tend to wear anywhere from six to ten hours with darker shades maintaining better color coverage and wear over a longer period of time. Some shades get a little drying about two-thirds to three-fourths through the wear, while a few shades have been fairly non-drying even many hours into wear. They fade away evenly with most color loss occurring from the center of the lips if eating a more oil-based meal but the majority of color survives a meal. Reapplication has been hit or miss and tends to depend on how well it wore away and how easily the shade applies normally, but reapplication tends to emphasize the lip’s natural texture significantly compared to initial application and gives lips a very wrinkled, dried-up look. I’ve layered gloss on top of some shades with moderate success, though it will obviously lose the matte finish and will transfer and I’ll get tiny flakes where the matte lip color has lifted by mixing with gloss but has been pretty minimal. The formula had no discernible taste or scent.

Haha! I love the Monet comment about Clueless! Well, I took a chance ordering just about all these LE ones by CP knowing it would be a gamble. At least 1/2 is better than a goose egg on these. I ordered them on the 12th and my order is sill processing! lol.

Nicole Avatar

Oh wow! I would think they would give your orders priority! My stuff takes a week usually once it does finally ship since to comes to Ohio..so I’m looking at a good two to two and a half weeks since they have became a more popular company. Can’t wait to see the Strobing reviews. I had an overlap in Avalon so I skipped it for now -knowing well it may sell out(the medium would be my suitable kit I would think). Plus, the lippies have been letting me down a lot. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts!

The same goes for me, Nicole.. I made my order on 11th and on 13th ColourPop emailed me that my order has been scheduled for shipment, but up to this day the status is still in “Shipping Label Created”. I then emailed them yesterday and they said that my package was missing so they have to repeat the process and send a replacement. So I’m looking for another 2 weeks to receive it. Gosh…

Nicole Avatar

Oh No Eva! Sorry to hear that. Yeah, I think they need to hire some more boddoes to keep up with this success. I used to get orders in a week or less- that was a year ago I’m estimating.

Eva Avatar

Yeepp totally agree with you, Nicole.. They need to hire someone to deal only with shipping and need to do their job right otherwise it will cost them more..

Beeper looks fantastic on you! Although both shades do, I can see what you mean about Clueless looking dry. I may need to try Beeper, or a regular formula dupe of it. I honestly HATE living in this dry, Arid Zone as it makes matte lippys even dryer than expected!

May I ask you what is your favorite brand of Matte Liquid Lipsticks? Your reviews are always so honest that I only buy something when you approve it. Thank you for helping so much the makeupjunkies!!!

Jennifer Avatar

Do you still have experience with the packaging where the liquid lipsticks leaks out of the bottle?
Oh no, I just got my Colourpop order today. I got Clueless and Bumble. Aww, that’s a bummer that Clueless didn’t work out. I like Beeper on you! I didn’t order that one because I was scared it might be too brown… I should go to Sephora and try on the KVD Bone n’ Arrow first! I can’t believe how similar they are though!

Shana Avatar

Aww man I was hoping Clueless would be good, just the name alone gave me nostalgia and made me want to buy it! I love the quote they used from it too although it didn’t exactly match the quality of the lipstick :p

Is it just me or does Beeper not look like the swatch at all? I thought it looked just gorgeous on you and we have a similar skin tone so I ordered it and received it a couple days ago and it does not look like that on me at all. Its still nice and I’ll still wear it, I’m just a little disappointed because your swatches are usually very accurate.
