Makeup Geek Groupie Foiled Lip Gloss ($15.00 for 0.27 fl. oz.) is a bright, medium-dark pinky-red with bright, fuchsia pearl. It had medium, buildable coverage that was mostly opaque after two layers. The consistency was thicker but not heavy, so a second layer was still comfortable and did not get goopy. The color went on beautifully with smooth, even coverage that lasted for six hours.

The Foiled Lip Gloss formula is supposed to wear for “six hours” with buildable coverage (“single swipe for … translucent pop of color” or “multiple layers for … opaque color”). The texture was thicker but not goopy or heavy with a moderate tackiness. They lasted from five to seven hours on me, and they were comfortable to wear and were just barely hydrating overall. The pigmentation ranged from medium to semi-opaque in one pass, and then the glosses were buildable to mostly opaque to opaque.

Makeup Geek Backstage Foiled Lip Gloss ($15.00 for 0.27 fl. oz.) is a rich, dark purple with subtle, warm undertones and fine violet and plum pearl. It had semi-opaque pigmentation in one layer, which was buildable to mostly opaque coverage with two layers. There was a bit of color that slipped into my lip lines, but it went on fairly evenly otherwise. This shade stayed on well for six hours and was lightly hydrating.
