Too Faced Unicorn Melted Matte Liquid Lipstick ($21.00 for 0.23 fl. oz.) is described as a “matte bright orchid.” It had semi-opaque color coverage (the natural lip color still comes through a bit) with a mostly matte finish, though it wasn’t as flat as the other shades in the range. It applied slightly unevenly. The texture was thin, smooth, and lightweight, but the formula was still drying over the five hours it lasted.

Too Faced Who’s Zoomin’ Who Melted Matte Liquid Lipstick ($21.00 for 0.23 fl. oz.) is described as a “matte deep sapphire.” It’s a deep navy blue with cool undertones and a matte finish. It was slightly thicker than the other shades, so the dry down was longer. However, it dried to a very dry consistency where parts of the color flaked off as soon as I moved my lips. The color “cracked” when I smiled. I had blue bits and flakes coming off all over my coffee cup, even after letting it set and dry down for four hours. I tried re-wearing it again, and I still had issues with the color flaking just by pressing my lips together a few times. It was extremely drying. KVD Beauty Poe (P, $18.00) is darker (95% similar).

FORMULA OVERVIEW | Too Faced Melted Matte Liquid Lipstick ($21.00 for 0.23 fl. oz.) is supposed to apply l ike a gloss but dry to “an ultra-matte, opaque finish” that is “never dry, shriveled, or cracked” that should “last for hours.” Most of the shades are unforgiving once they dry down and emphasize lip lines, look “cracked” if you smile, though they feel lighter-weight than they look. It’s one of the more unflattering liquid lipsticks I have tried as many shades highlighted lip lines, and while the lipstick itself wasn’t extremely clingy, there was a dryness present there that, at times, made my lips tingle/ache. For me, the wear was between four and six hours, as a lot of the shades faded unevenly and were faster to breakdown than the average liquid lipstick. The formula is thin, more water-like (reminded me of ColourPop’s formula but sometimes thinner) with a fairly quick dry-down time.
