Full Blooded

Pat McGrath Full Blooded MatteTrance Lipstick ($38.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a deep, reddened plum with cool undertones and a satin finish. It had nearly opaque pigmentation in a single stroke, which was buildable to full coverage with a second layer. The texture felt velvety, smooth, and just creamy enough to glide across my lips without dragging but not enough to feel slippery or be prone to feathering/migrating on me. It wore down to a matte finish within two hours and lasted for nearly eight hours and stained quite noticeably. The formula felt non-drying to me.

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.

Vendetta

Pat McGrath Vendetta MatteTrance Lipstick ($38.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a rich, medium-dark red with subtle, cool undertones and a semi-matte finish. The color payoff was fantastic–incredibly rich coverage in a single layer–and applied smoothly across my lips for an even application. The texture felt lightweight, velvety, and creamy without being too thick. The color wore well for almost eight hours, left a deep pink stain behind, and was neither drying nor hydrating.
