Rare Beauty Heroic Lip Souffle Matte Cream Lipstick ($20.00 for 0.13 oz.) is a more muted, dark raspberry pink with subtle, cool undertones and a semi-matte finish. It had nearly opaque pigmentation in a single layer, which could be built up to full coverage with less than a second layer on top.
The texture felt lightweight, airy, and was spreadable with more of a velvety glide than a more watery or "wet" feel, which has been more traditional of liquid lipsticks. As this formula doesn't have a full dry-down, the color remained more flexible while worn, even if it did dry down from more of a satiny sheen to semi-matte finish within a couple of minutes from the initial application. The color applied evenly and lasted well for six and a half hours, though it was non-drying rather than hydrating (as marketed).
