Too Faced Maneater La Matte Color Drenched Matte Lipstick

Too Faced Maneater La Matte Color Drenched Matte Lipstick ($22.00 for 0.11 oz.) is a deep, burgundy purple with cooler undertones and a satin finish. It had more slip than the other shades, and it wasn’t as thick, but it applied more noticeably uneven–though it felt better going on and when worn–as it was splotchy, clumpy, and gathered in lip lines within an hour of wear. It lasted for five hours and left a stain behind, and it feathered slightly on me. MAC Prince Noir (LE, $19.00) is warmer, glossier (90% similar). MAC Soulfully Rich (P, $18.00) is more muted, glossier (90% similar). MAC High Drama (P, $21.00) is less glossy (90% similar). MAC Viva Glam Ariana Grande (LE, $19.00) is darker (90% similar).

Too Faced Pitch Perfect La Matte Color Drenched Matte Lipstick ($22.00 for 0.11 oz.) is a muted, medium-dark magenta purple with cool undertones and a semi-matte finish. It had mostly opaque coverage with a lightly creamy texture that didn’t tug on the lips. It lasted for four and a half hours on me with slight color pulling into lip lines. It was neither drying nor hydrating. MAC Tailored to Tease (P, $21.00) is less glossy (90% similar). Bite Beauty Eggplant (DC, $26.00) is darker, more muted (80% similar).

Too Faced Rebel Heart La Matte Color Drenched Matte Lipstick ($22.00 for 0.11 oz.) is a medium-dark, red with neutral-to-warm undertones and a semi-matte finish.

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.

Good! I’m happy to report that MAC Prep ‘n Prime lip seems to be working to keep Radish from bleeding in the corners! It’s a great color for me, but I still have to be a bit careful with it while I’m eating so it doesn’t migrate. That’s true with a lot of bright/strong lip colors, I guess, but I seem to have a little more trouble with the Bite formula than with NARS, Tom Ford, Urban Decay Revolution, Bobbi Brown Luxe Lip, or Ardency Inn, for example. I don’t really like having to think about my makeup staying in place as I go about my day, other than touching up lip color after eating and powdering the end of my nose while I’m at it. Still, I love some of these colors and have to try them!

The other 2 look really pretty, but Maneater looks scary–it’s clumpy, like there’s clots, will save that one for Halloween

I just want to cry over Mandated being yet ONE MORE patchy, poorly performing uber-deep vampy shade! Smdh! It sold me on Colourpop Prim, however.
Pitch Perfect isn’t bad, but I prefer a more purple magenta.
And Rebel Heart looks too much like shades already in my stash, I think.

I can’t identify why, but I just don’t like these colors/formulas. You look good, as always but I wouldn’t buy them.

i ordered the shades as if and maneater as soon as they dropped and when i got them i was super disappointed :/ after as much hype as they put around this product i expected to be wowed and too faced returns take 3 weeks so im basically stuck with them very disappointed !

Hi Christine, is Rebel Heart one of the best in the line? because im looking for a dupe for my colourpop Fighter lippie(it was discontinued and im dying) and hence rebel heart is 95% similar to Fighter. How would they compare when it comes to the formula? if its really not worth it could you please list a good Fighter dupe 🙁
