Femmebot

Pat McGrath Femmebot MatteTrance Lipstick ($38.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a muted, medium-dark pink with warm undertones and a semi-matte finish. The pigmentation was nearly opaque, while the color applied evenly onto my lips and never tugged during application. The texture was lightweight, velvety, and not too thick or too thin, so it was comfortable on my lips, though I noticed that there was a touch of color in my deeper lip lines upon initial application with this shade. It wore well for five and a half hours and was neither drying nor hydrating.

Formula Overview

$38.00/0.14 oz. - $271.43 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to be “richly pigmented” with “”supreme hydration” and “opulent matte opacity.” The consistency was smooth, velvety, and dense without being too firm for one-stroke, glide-on application (I found the original shades to be slightly firmer compared to more newly released shades). They had nearly opaque to opaque coverage in one layer and most were buildable.

They had a subtle sheen--more satin-to-cream in finish--that wore down to a natural matte finish within an hour or two of wear. The formula lasted between four and eight hours on me, and while most weren't drying, they aren't "supreme[ly" hydrating either. They are, however, comfortable to wear over a longer period of time and reapply well. There was no discernible scent or taste to the formula.

Polaroid Pink

Pat McGrath Polaroid Pink MatteTrance Lipstick ($38.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a bright, medium pink with subtle, warm undertones and a satin finish. It had nearly opaque color payoff in a single stroke, which went on evenly and smoothly on my lips and never tugged or dragged during application. There was a bit of color that pulled into my lip lines, though. The consistency was lightweight, velvety, and smooth, which made it comfortable to wear over the six hours it lasted for. The formula was neither drying nor hydrating on me.
