Homeslice
Tarte Homeslice Tarteist Quick Dry Matte Lip Paints ($20.00 for 0.20 fl. oz.) is a medium coral with warm undertones and a matte finish. It had good color payoff, but it was not full coverage; you’d definitely need to apply a second layer to get that level of coverage. The consistency was thin, a little streaky and hard to spread across the lips without the color sinking into lip lines. This shade lasted for five hours but had some uneven fading around the center of the mouth. It felt a bit 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 trialling more 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.

Delish
Tarte Delish Tarteist Quick Dry Matte Lip Paints ($20.00 for 0.20 fl. oz.) is a muted, medium-dark rosy plum with warm undertones and a matte finish. It had opaque color coverage that applied smoothly and evenly on the lips. The consistency was thin, lightweight, and spread across the lips without streaking and dried down to a matte finish that did not appear dry or cracked. This shade wore well for five hours on me and was just a touch drying overall.

Rose
Tarte Rose Tarteist Quick Dry Matte Lip Paints ($20.00 for 0.20 fl. oz.) is a muted, medium rose with warm undertones and a matte finish. It had mostly opaque pigmentation that went on evenly, but I had issues with the color drying down smoothly as it appeared “cracked” as I moved my mouth. The consistency didn’t seem overly watery, but it ran thinner and dried down faster than other shades, so it was harder to work with as a result. This shade wore for closer to five and a half hours, but there was uneven fading across the lips due to how it “cracked” to begin with, so the color flaked away in some places. The formula was moderately drying on me.

Delish is a pretty color, but for winter, I prefer traditional lipsticks or glosses
I hear ya! These were more drying than I expected.
I’ve not been feeling my liquid matte lipsticks because of the cold snap. They look ok but the top layer is Very DRY the past week even with my Agave Lip Mask. 🙁
I’m glad to see some good grades on these and I like all the shades…. but I have similar ones soooo… we shall see if I can get them in store to test out first. 😉
I like all shades. But I guess Delish is the one to pick then.
Have you tried the Quick Dry formula before?
Nope!
Out of the 3, I love the actual color of Homeslice, not the texture or feel though. However, there is CP Instigator or MAC Kinda Sexy. Both great options, I think, for my can’t-stand-powdery-lipstick lips!
Kinda Sexy is definitely the most comfortable to wear, IMO!
I liked Relish based on color and appeance but still can’t wear matte lippies. Too bad BC I really like this color.
Make that Delish. Autocorrect grrrr
I wonder kind of color Relish as a lipstick would be, lol!
Oooh!! I’m in love with the swatches of Rose and Homeslice! I’m really into the nude lip shades so I’m in the market for one! I quite enjoy the formula of the Tarteist lip paints so I’m eager to grow my collection!
Hope you can try them, Stephanie!
These colours are a bit light for me but really suit you, Christine!
Thank you, Claire!
I bought Rose I just haven’t worn it yet.I am thinking about buying Get it,Bounce,and Acid Wash but I keep going back and forth with the decision.I recently tried the Huda Beauty Liquid lipsticks and they are comfortable and beautiful.So I’m trying to decide between these and those.
Let me know how Rose works for you, Nika!
I bought Vibin’ and I love it. So pretty for the holidays!
Awesome!
Too bad homeslice wasn’t better, it’s a fun color. I love coral-y nudes but can’t pull them off!
I wish it was kinder to lips!
