Muneca

ColourPop Muneca Lip Duo ($11.00 for 0.15 oz.) contains a rosy brown liquid lipstick and a neutral brown lip pencil. The liquid lipstick performed decently–not perfect but solid–while the lip pencil was sheerer and difficult to apply evenly. Layering the liquid lipstick over the lip pencil didn’t improve the liquid lipstick; it actually made it take longer to dry down and was more visibly separated along my deeper lip lines.

Muneca

Muneca is a muted, light-medium rosy brown with subtle, warm undertones and a matte finish. It had rich color coverage that applied fluidly in a single, even layer. There was a bit of product that separated along my deeper lip lines as the formula dried down, though. The consistency was lightweight, fluid, and spreadable without being overly runny or thin. It wore well for five and a half hours and felt non-drying over time.

Formula Overview

$6.50/0.11 oz. - $59.09 Per Ounce

It 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.

Muneca

Muneca is a dusty, light-medium brown with neutral-to-cool undertones and a matte finish. It had medium coverage, which was buildable to semi-opaque coverage with a second layer. The texture felt a little less velvety compared to others in the same formula, which made it more prone to skipping and tugging on my lips, especially for all-over application. It seemed to wear for four to five hours, but it was harder to tell as it was sheerer and blended more with my natural lip color. The formula felt slightly drying over time.
