OCC Synth Lip Tar/RTW ($15.00 for 0.14 fl. oz.) is described as a “true rose gold metallic.” It’s a brightened, medium rosy copper with warm undertones and a metallic shimmer-sheen finish. It had good pigmentation, though there was slight translucency so the natural lip color came through just barely. The texture was thinner and little more liquidy, but it didn’t seem to interfere with application, which was still quite even. It wore well for five hours on me, and it was a little drying after four hours of wear. Tom Ford Beauty Pink Dune (02) (LE, $55.00) is less pigmented (90% similar).

OCC Structure Lip Tar/RTW ($15.00 for 0.14 fl. oz.) is described as a “concrete grey beige.” It’s a muted, light-medium beige with hints of pink and a cream finish. I see the gray cast to it, which gives this muted, neutral vibe (though I’d still say it is a warmer shade overall!). It had rich color payoff with a smooth, even application. It applied well, lasted for five and a half hours, and was neither drying nor hydrating. NYX Stone (P, $6.00) is darker (95% similar). ColourPop Choker (LE, $7.00) is darker (95% similar). Bite Beauty Retsina (DC, $24.00) is lighter, cooler (90% similar). NYX Mirage (P, $6.00) is lighter (90% similar). MAC Luxe Natural (P, $25.00) is lighter, cooler (90% similar).

FORMULA SUMMARY | OCC Lip Tar/RTW ($15.00 for 0.14 fl. oz.) is supposed to be a long-wearing, pigmented liquid lipstick. The formula is light-to-medium in weight with some shades with a thinner or thicker consistency. As you might expect, the thinner ones tend to have sheerer coverage, though the average Lip Tar is semi-opaque to intensely opaque (like the smallest amount is needed to get opaque coverage). The Metallic shades tend to be thinner and have more slip compared to the cream ones. The formula is sometimes drying, sometimes just not drying. The formula is mint-scented but has no discernible taste. The new Lip Tar/RTW comes with a doe-foot applicator, which makes it easier to apply from the tube than the original Lip Tars.
