Cheerleader

Tarte Cheerleader Tarteist Quick Dry Matte Lip Paints ($20.00 for 0.20 fl. oz.) is a bold, bright medium-dark red with strong, cool undertones and a matte finish. It had medium color coverage that went on fairly evenly and dried down to a flat, matte finish. It did not “crack” on me and was only mildly clingy while worn. The color lasted for six hours, faded away somewhat evenly, and was drying over time.

The Quick Dry formula is supposed to have “full coverage” with a “transfer-proof” finish that won’t crack, dry your lips out, or feather. After trying several shades in the formula, there is a lot of inconsistency across shades. Some are nice, some are terrible; some absolutely “crack” and others have a soft matte finish that is transfer-proof without making lips look drier. The formula is, overall, lightly to moderately drying on me, though the wear is longer at five to seven hours and most shades had good pigmentation.

Fly

Tarte Fly Tarteist Quick Dry Matte Lip Paints ($20.00 for 0.20 fl. oz.) is a medium-dark berry with cool undertones and a matte finish. While it didn’t have the full coverage promised–it was semi-opaque–the color applied evenly and smoothly with a thin texture that spread well but did not sink into lip lines or dry down and leave lips looking “cracked.” The color wore well for over six hours, but the formula was somewhat drying overall.

Friyay

Tarte Friyay Tarteist Quick Dry Matte Lip Paints ($20.00 for 0.20 fl. oz.) is a deep purple with subtle, warm undertones and a matte finish. The consistency was thin, a little watery and had a tendency to apply unevenly. It had medium color coverage, which was not even close to the full coverage described. The formula dried down to a transfer-proof finish that was matte but did not “crack” when I smiled. This shade lasted for five hours, faded away more noticeably from the center of the mouth, and was mildly drying.

Acid Wash

Tarte Acid Wash Tarteist Quick Dry Matte Lip Paints ($20.00 for 0.20 fl. oz.) is a blackened berry with cool undertones and a flat, matte finish. This was one of the worse shades, as it applied unevenly, was incredibly drying over time, and did not even have opaque coverage. This was painfully drying, as my lips felt raw and started to peel after wearing this for six hours (to add insult to injury, it also faded unevenly).
