Too Faced Melted Villain Melted Liquified Long Wear Lipstick Review, Photos, Swatches
Too Faced Melted Villain Melted Liquified Long Wear Lipstick
Too Faced Melted Villain Melted Liquified Long Wear Lipstick ($21.00 for 0.40 fl. oz.) is described as a “black plum.” It’s a blackened purple with reddish-violet undertones and a glossy, cream finish. ColourPop Feminist (P, $5.00) is more matte, darker. NYX Betrayal (P, $6.00) is lighter, more shimmery. Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Pagan (P, $18.00) is cooler-toned. MAC Potent Fig (LE, $16.00) is lighter. MAC Smoked Purple (LE, $16.00) is lighter, more matte. See comparison swatches / view dupes.
It was intensely pigmented, and the color goes on evenly and smoothly–more impressive given it is a more emollient formula that could easily have turned streaky. It’s a deeper shade, and while the edges are surprisingly clean even without a lip brush, I think a lip brush or going back and cleaning-up the edge is a must for this shade. It’s comfortable to wear and is lightly hydrating over time. This shade wore well for seven and a half hours before fading noticeably, though I noticed some feathering along the upper lip line after the fifth hour of wear.

Holy moly, what a gorgeous color. I don’t get “black plum” from this. More like a “blackened eggplant” color. It’s still beautiful though. @____@
It is a rich one!
I am so buying this after Fig, can’t have too many dark purples right? 😀 I hope they come out with a blackened red and maybe a medium purple-grey shade soon.
That would be cool!
Bravo to Too Faced for putting out such a bold colour!
Yay 😀
This looks incredible! It’s nice to find a vampy shade that doesn’t have application issues. I have to admit when I see the words “Melted Villain”, I think of the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark…
I was really surprised that for as glossy as it is, it wasn’t streak-city!
Love, but Feminist arrived in yesterday. I’ll be using that.
They’re very close!
Interesting shade. Definitely has a reddish tone, but also kind of a grayish cast.
Yes! I feel like the “top” is different in tone from the actual undertone!
How is this formula compared to OCC lip tars? i have pagan and while i love the color, i HATE using it because it is such a pain and it’s pretty uncomfortable on my lips. if this is better, i might have to get it because i love deep, dark purple lipsticks!
It’s not as matte and tends to be glossier/creamier overall! You may prefer this over Lip Tars!
Gorgeous! OMG
It’s a bold shade!
Well, I’m obviously going to need this!
Enjoy! 🙂
This is such a gorgeous color!
Agreed, Carrie!
I wish these didn’t dry the every loving hell out of my lips! They are so darn pretty!
Awwwwww!! That is such a bummer 🙁
ooooooohhh la la im not usually one for a shiny lip, but THIS does it for me! Absolutely beautiful!
YAY! You can easily mattify it, too, IMO!
This is gorgeous, but probably a tad dark for me. I wonder if I could mix it with a little Melted Violet.
I bet you could!
OMG I love it!
Yay!
Wow, oh now this is cool! I’m glad to see more and more wacky cool shades on the market!
Me too 😀
I NEED IT 😀
It’s pretty!
That is gorgeous!! I wish i could pull this off without looking washed out.
Maybe with a more dramatic contour/blush?
Oh my god, is this ever gorgeous. And I love that it’s being put out by such a “normal”/mainstream company — it’s so great to see colours like this one from a non-artistry brand!
Right? It’s so fun to see non-traditional shades gaining traction!
I so agree! The more brands that come out with non-traditional colors, the better!!! It means I can more easily wear my purple and blue lipsticks without EVERYONE going, “is it halloween or what’s the occasion?” Sheesh. It’s about time! 😉
oh wow! I want this even though I know I can never weaar it like this! It is such perfect with that smokiness which is quite unique imo. I wonder if this can be mixed with say, occ lip tars to make a color of you liking?
They could probably be mixed, though you might not get GREAT results since the formulas are different consistencies.
Awesome! I was hoping they would bring out some dark colours. The name fits it perfectly, too!
I wonder if we’ll see even more dark shades in the fall/winter!
That is DEEP! I love the tone of it.
Me too!
Wow- what a rich plum colour. It looks divine on you Christine.
Aw, thank you Genevieve!!
I love the colour and would totally try it, I think it would be a huge shock to my friends and family, they don’t seem to like dark lips on me.
You should wear it just because you can ;D
This looks amazing on you! I love the Too Faced’s Melteds!
Thank you, Nicole!
This is such a cool colour. I would never rock it though (well, never say never!) – I prefer something this dark and dramatic to be a red! But I will live vicariously through all the gorgeous girls in photos I see!
You should tryyyyy! 🙂
I love the name of this lipstick! The colour is nice too but the name is just speaking to me. lol
lol! 🙂
Wow. Now that’s a beautiful dark purple lip.
Very lovely!
Thanks I had been waiting on you to review this 🙂 I wasn’t able to get MAC’s Potent Fig so this makes me happy….lol
YAY! You can even just apply less for a more satin-y look 🙂
I love a vampy purple lip! I have Cyber from Mac…. Kind of seems similar. Wondering if I need this one too? 😉
Cyber is probably similar though maybe not quite as purple and definitely not as glossy!
I keep comparing these shades in my head, recently: Melted Villain, Feminist, Pagan, Potion (Anastasia Beverly Hills), and Desire (Fyrinnae). If you ever get your hands on Potion and Desire, I think you’ll be set on the dark purples for life!
Which one do you like the most?
I want this lipstick so badly! I’m trying to wait for a sale but I feel like I need it
You would look GOOD in this!! I’m sure Too Faced will have a sale on their site!
Is there a trick to getting the lasting power? If I apply this, it’s slid everywhere within an hour.
Is it possible you are applying too much? I don’t do any tricks – just apply it straight from the tube and that’s it.
What a gorgeous colour. This is one of the exceptions from my makeup buying ban, I think. Just amazing looking!
Oooh! 🙂 Have funnn!
One of my friends picked this up and isn’t sold on it. I think it’s mainly because it’s so much warmer in tone than the product pictures made it look. I’m not sold on Too Faced Melted yet and I’m not sure why. I only have Nude and it’s a beautiful color, but it feels dry after wearing it for a few hours on me.
Some shades are more hydrating than others, I think! I like the formula a lot, because it’s pretty comfy and wears a long time, but it’s not the most hydrating formula of all-time.
Looks great on you.
Thanks, Piper!
This color is fantastic! I love how dark and creamy it looks. 😀
Me too!! And non-streaky!
Whatta bold color! :O
Not for a subtle look for sure!
This also reminds me a little bit of Anastasia Beverly Hill’s Potion except this one isn’t as matte! I was just thinking today that I really don’t need another dark purple color, but now I think I might need this!
Good to know it is similar to Potion!
Oh wow! The dark lip lovers are going to be all over this one, looks great!
For sure! 😀
Beautiful. How would you compare this shade/formula to anastasia Beverly Hills Potion liquid lipstick? Obviously the liquid lipstick would be more matte but in terms of long term wear, color, and overall performance, which would you prefer? I’m debating between the two.
It’s a lot creamier, glossier – it is more like a liquid lipstick formula that doesn’t dry down/set in the same way that liquid lipsticks like Anastasia’s formula does, so you’ll have transfer all day long, but the color still wears a long time. I find these infinitely more comfortable to wear, but you gotta keep in mind that I’m not really a fan of the liquid lipstick formulas that totally dry down/cling as much.
This shade looks gorgeous on you!! Thanks for the review!
My pleasure, Melissa!
Will you review Too Faced’s other new Melted colors? Fingers crossed!! I’ve never bought one but they’ve been enticing me for a while now… This definitely makes me want to get some!!
I hope to!
I really really love this shade, and the name of it! I adore the Melted formula in general though. So happy that they came out with more colors!
Me too!
