Tarte Hangry Tarteist Lip Paint ($20.00 for 0.20 fl. oz.) is a s lightly muted, dark plum with subtle, warmer undertones and a natural shine. It had semi-opaque color payoff and crumbly bits of darker color strewn through the consistency–almost like unmixed pigment, even though it was a runnier consistency overall. This one really settled really noticeably into lip lines after an hour or two of wear. It also had shorter wear at four hours overall, despite the darker hue. It was slightly drying overall.

Tarte Manbun Tarteist Lip Paint ($20.00 for 0.20 fl. oz.) is a dark burgundy-brown warm, red undertones and a satin finish. It had semi-opaque color coverage that went on fairly evenly. The consistency was slightly thicker, more mousse-like compared to some of the shades in the range. The texture felt “drier”– almost powdery/chalky–but not uncomfortable initially. When I wore it, the color lasted for four and a half hours and left a slight stain behind, but it was somewhat drying overall (less drying than your average liquid matte).

Tarte Frenemy Tarteist Lip Paint ($20.00 for 0.20 fl. oz.) is deep burgundy with warm undertones and a luminous finish. This was one of the more liquid-like shades, and it had a lot of shine that took two to three hours to wear down to more of a satin-like finish. It had fairly opaque color payoff that applied evenly overall, though there were a few areas where the color seemed to slip around. There is a lot of transfer with this one, and the wear time was around five and a half hours with some staining. It was slightly drying but was one of the least drying in the range.

FORMULA OVERVIEW | Tarte Tarteist Lip Paint ($20.00 for 0.20 fl. oz.) is supposed to be a pigmented, matte liquid lipstick that’s long-wearing. First thing to note is that these never fully dry down, so they are not transfer-proof, but they are less drying than the typical liquid lipstick that dries down completely. They are quite pigmented and despite transferring onto cups, while you eat, and so forth, a lot of the color is left behind. You can also touch-up without having to completely remove the formula. The texture is inconsistent; some shades are thin and have a soft shine even after ten minutes of wear, while others are almost mousse-like in the tube, and these ones tend to be more matte from the get-go. There is a very subtle mint scent, but I don’t notice it at all once it is on. I do notice that it is easier to get these on the teeth than other lip products. The formula is lightly to moderately drying over time, but it is long-wearing with most shades ranging between five and seven hours of wear. The majority are satin to semi-matte with a little sheen, which you can either blot once for a matte finish or wait about an hour or two for it to naturally mattify (like any satin finish really).
