Dose of Colors Kiss of Fire

Dose of Colors Kiss of Fire matte lipstick is fast drying and transfer proof. However the coverage is patchy and uneven and it takes about a minute or two for the pigmentation to set. But once it does, watch out! Despite its short comings I really like this color and the formula, which reminds me of a stain, because it has a light weight consistency and feel on the lips. Dose of colors liquid lipsticks advertise as vegan, cruelty free, gluten free, and paraben free, which is always a plus. I get at least 8 hour wear without eating or drinking. $18.00USD

Colourpop Ultra Matte Lip Lychee & Privacy Please

 Colourpop's ultra mattes in Lychee and Privacy Please both seem similar

but give different applications. Privacy Please dries down to a more heavy opaque finish and Lychee's has a more of a sheer finish, but is a very beautiful color on deep skin tones. $6.00 +Colourpop Fun

Swatch Out! Colourpop Ultra Matte Lip (Notion)

 Notion is a deep plum color. That is not too dark which I love. Perfect for fall.

This color dries down a little slower than the other ultra matte lips and also tends to transfer a little bit, but it may be the color formula, because I have the same issue with their ultra matte lip More Better. Perfect for all skin tones. $6.00USD

Colourpop Ultra Mattes: Drive In, Avenue, Kae

 

 Drive In- Violet

Avenue- Brick Red

Kae-Terracotta

All three of these colors are great. Kae is a slightly lighter version of Colourpop's Limbo, but the colors are very similar. Avenue is a brick red and reminds me of Lime Crimes Wicked velvetine but Wicked is deeper in tone. Still it is a close dupe. Drive In is a bright pink violet that is a dupe for Lime Crime's Utopia velvetine, which you will find helpful to know seeing as Colourpop has recently discontinued this color. These Colourpop's ultra matte liquid lip colors are long lasting, pigmented and affordable at just $6.00 each. 

Pros: No smell or taste, affordable.

Cons: Online only.

Swatch Out! Colourpop Ultra Matte Lip Color: Limbo

 Review

I love colourpop's ultra matte lip formula and the awesome affordability at $6.00 each. This color is sexy and bold. However the color is not so deep on my skin tone that it appears vampy. I am surprised that it is now a favorite of mine, considering that I have always shy'd away from brown lipsticks because they appear washed out against my skin tone. The liquid lipstick formula, goes on wet and dries down very quickly to a non transferable matte finish, that last for hours on end. I can wear it through my 8 hour work shift only retouching my inner lips after eating lunch. Perfect. (Rating) 5 out of 5. 

Suitable for fair to deep tan skin tones.

FYI

*Close lip tube tightly after use.

*The Colourpop branding on tube will rub off after a couple uses. 

*Use makeup remover or makeup remover wipes to remove.

Colourpop Ultra Matte Lip: Succulent, More Better, First Base, & Lumiere 2

(top to bottom)

more better

succulent

1st base

lumiere 2

Succulent- is not as opaque as the other colors shown. When it dries it has a chalky residue to it, so be warned, or maybe I got a bad batch. It is a neon cherry red, very pretty. I highly recommend ladies with fair to tan skin tones try this color, you'll love it if you love red lips.

1st base-is a true pink with coral undertones. Very pretty and very opaque. 

Lumiere 2-is a dusty rose with purple undertones, very pretty and pigmented.

More Better- is a true berry wine, it tends to smear, and does not dry completely like the other colors.
