Fairytale

Tarte Fairytale Tarteist Quick Dry Matte Lip Paint ($20.00 for 0.20 fl. oz.) is a bright, medium-dark blue-leaning aqua with cool undertones and a matte finish. It had semi-opaque pigmentation, which was buildable to opaque with two to three layers. The consistency was thin and spreadable, but it applied streakily and had a tendency to pull into lip lines as it was drying down.

The formula is supposed to have “high-impact, opaque matte color” that is non-drying and doesn’t crack or feather. I’ve tried most shades in this formula, and it can be rather hit or miss–probably more misses than hits. Unfortunately, Fairytale was another miss, as it just did not apply well and absolutely did look “cracked” as soon as I smiled. The color lasted for four and a half hours on me before fading more heavily from the center of my lips, and it was somewhat drying over time.

Tarte Festival Tarteist Quick Dry Matte Lip Paint ($20.00 for 0.20 fl. oz.) is a muted, medium rosy mauve with subtle, cool undertones and a matte finish. It had nearly opaque color coverage that applied evenly and smoothly across the lips. The consistency was thin but not watery, and it spread well and did not look streaky at any point. It dried down to a flat, matte finish that lasted for almost six hours. The formula was slightly drying over time.
