Hawkwind

Kat Von D Hawkwind Everlasting Liquid Lipstick ($20.00 for 0.22 fl. oz.) is a muted, medium-dark plummy brown with warm undertones and a matte finish. It had good pigmentation–nearly opaque–with a smooth, lightweight texture that wasn’t too thin or too thick. The color spread evenly across the lips, dried down to a flat, matte finish, and lasted for seven hours on me. It was slightly drying after five hours of wear.

It is supposed to be a “long-wear, full coverage liquid lipstick with a smooth, matte finish.” Of the liquid lipsticks on the market that go and have a full dry-down, Kat Von D’s formula remains my favorite, as it is the easiest to apply with the kindest learning curve and lasts awhile.

Some shades are more drying than others, but typically they don’t get drying until after five to six hours of wear. They often wear anywhere from six to ten hours, depending on what you’ve had to eat or drink during the day. This formula is thin but not watery, has a longer dry down than most liquid lipsticks (but I noticed some of the newer shades dried to a mostly dry finish faster), and layers better than most (you can touch-up or add a second layer for more coverage).

It takes about a minute for it to mostly set, but it will remain a little tacky in places for up to three minutes so you’ll want to avoid pressing your lips together if it doesn’t seem totally dry initially. There isn’t a noticeable scent or taste. If you don’t mind the trade-off between very long, near-pristine wear and being drying, it’s worth checking out. As a bonus, these also come with one of the most generous amounts of products within the realm of liquid lipsticks!

Crucifix

Kat Von D Crucifix Everlasting Liquid Lipstick ($20.00 for 0.22 fl. oz.) is muted, dark burgundy brown with warm undertones and a matte finish. It had medium, buildable coverage (two to three layers for opaque coverage) that went on somewhat evenly. I expected more out of this shade, as Kat Von D’s formula is usually good, but this shade could have applied better and lasted longer. It only wore well for six hours before fading too quickly from the center of the mouth (and normally, shades this dark run closer to eight hours of good wear). The formula was neither drying nor hydrating.
