Bing Bang Boom

Bing Bang Boom is a bright, medium pink with warm undertones and a matte finish. It is a touch brighter and warmer than the lipstick, but they are in the same family. The consistency was thin, so it spread across the lips easily, but it was streakier and harder to get even coverage. It seemed to self-level to some degree, but it was still imperfect, and the coverage was surprisingly only semi-opaque. It lasted for six and a half hours (out of the eight it's supposed to), and it was drying after four hours of wear. Makeup Geek Goodie-Two-Shoes (P, $12.00) is lighter (90% similar).
