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 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.

I like the color of Pitch Perfect, but prefer a glossier finish — Eggplant and Dragonfruit are on my list of lipsticks to try. I think Michiyo might be a bit light for me.
I think you will like Eggplant!
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!
Mmm, Eggplant! I want that one myself, Fran. So I second (or third?) that shade!
The other 2 look really pretty, but Maneater looks scary–it’s clumpy, like there’s clots, will save that one for Halloween
It’s sooo unflattering on!
Even when the shades perform pretty well, such as Pitch Perfect and Rebel Heart, I feel as though I can find dupes that are even better.
You can definitely get better-performing products elsewhere!
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 was surprised at just how bad it looked on 🙁
Pity on such pretty colours. I must confess I really like Rebel Heart. I’m not going to buy it, though, I need forgiving lipsticks 🙂
I didn’t think my lips were in particularly bad shape, but this formula makes me wonder, lol!
Love that Maneater colour – but even the dupes have similar ratings. I think it must be a hard colour to get right. It looks lovely on you Christine.
It is a harder shade to create, it seems!
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.
For me, a lot of it was just how they ended up looking on 🙁
I really like Rebel Heart’s color, but I’m not too keen on the formula. I’ll have to check out those dupes!
Good call 😀
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 !
Me too, Charity!! 🙁 At least we aren’t alone!
Yikes, clump city!
Exactly!
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 🙁
