Too Faced As If La Matte Color Drenched Matte Lipstick ($22.00 for 0.11 oz.) is a bright, medium peony pink with warm, yellow undertones and a matte finish. It had mostly opaque coverage with a medium-thick consistency that felt stiff and dragged on the lips, while the consistency emphasized lip lines and balled up in places. This shade lasted for four hours on me and was lightly drying. Bite Beauty #064 (P, $18.00) is more muted (90% similar). NARS Low Rider (P, $26.00) is more muted (90% similar).

Too Faced Bachelorette La Matte Color Drenched Matte Lipstick ($22.00 for 0.11 oz.) is a medium pink-coral with warm undertones and a semi-matte finish. It had opaque color payoff with a thicker, stiff consistency in the tube that tugged on the lips when applied and was hard to apply evenly as it would skip. The texture is very unforgiving, particularly as the color settles and separates after an hour and a half of wear. The color lasted for four hours but had noticeable color in the lines and uneven fading. It was neither drying nor hydrating. L'Oreal Le Coral Irreverent (P, $13.99) is warmer (95% similar).

Too Faced Hey Gurrl La Matte Color Drenched Matte Lipstick ($22.00 for 0.11 oz.) is a medium-dark, raspberry pink with cool undertones and a semi-matte finish. This was one of the better-applying shades that felt creamier and less chalky on. It lasted for four and a half hours, but I still had some issues with the color creeping into lip lines.

FORMULA OVERVIEW | Too Faced La Matte Color Drenched Matte Lipstick ($22.00 for 0.11 oz.) is supposed to be the “most comfortable matte lipstick” with a “high-pigment formula” that is “creamy” and “softens” against the skin,” while the formula is “non-drying.” There have been a lot of modern takes on the matte lipstick that have forsaken the days of dry, firm, tugging mattes in lieu of creamier, more velvety-feeling mattes that have a smidgen of sheen but are infinitely easier to apply and wear–these are somewhere in-between. They’re not the worst mattes I’ve tried, but half or more of the formula tugs, drags, and clumps up. They had a really dry, chalky consistency to me; thick and somewhat heavy. Some shades emphasized every flaw (and some I honestly didn’t know I had at all) on my lips. They were non-drying to moderately drying. The wear time was four to six hours, which is more in line with average across a typical shade range, but I had issues with color separating into lip lines and fading unevenly. The thicker texture gets harder to smooth back out and is extremely unforgiving to reapply over.
