Lovecraft

Kat Von D Lovecraft Everlasting Liquid Lipstick ($20.00 for 0.22 fl. oz.) is a medium-dark, rosy mauve with subtle, cool undertones and a matte finish. It had rich, opaque pigmentation that applied evenly and smoothly across the lips. The consistency was thin without being watery, and it spread easily over the lips for even coverage. It dried down to a flat, matte finish that didn’t appear “cracked” when I smiled. This shade wore well for seven and a half hours and was lightly drying after six 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!

Malice

Kat Von D Malice Everlasting Liquid Lipstick ($20.00 for 0.22 fl. oz.) is a bright, medium-dark orange with warm, red undertones and a matte finish. It had good pigmentation, but it wasn’t fully opaque in one layer, which was surprising given the type of shade (like reds, oranges are often quite pigmented). The texture was slightly thicker than average for the brand but spread evenly across the lips. It seemed to take longer to dry down, and it was a little tacky for longer, so I had a bit of color lift unexpectedly. This particular shade highlighted the lines on my lips after drying down, and it appeared “cracked” when I smiled. It wore well for seven hours and was non-drying but faded more strongly from the center first.

Miss Argentina

Kat Von D Miss Argentina Everlasting Liquid Lipstick ($20.00 for 0.22 fl. oz.) is a rich, deep berry with cool undertones and a matte finish. It had mostly opaque color coverage, but you could see my lip freckle peeking through with just one layer applied. If you like a lighter look, the translucency might work for you as the color still applied evenly across the lips, but if you wanted full coverage, a second layer would be necessary. The liquid lipstick was thin, a smidgen more fluid than I would prefer as it took more patience to get precise edges. This shade lasted for eight hours and left a stain behind, while the formula felt a bit drying after six hours of wear.
