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).

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.
