ColorPop Ultra Matte Lip Review

If you want a matte that dries down and doesn't overly dry out your lips then you need to try Colourpop's ultra matte lips. I have a huge selection of these now ranging from reds, purples, nudes to pinks. I love them all equally and have found that although they can get very dry my lips are not ravaged.

As routine I do scrub my lips daily to prevent build up of dead skin and keep them supply and smooth, this with a layer of balm under the matte helps to keep your lips in good condition, the matter still stays strong and doesn't slip all over the place.

Easily removed with an oil based cleanser, or just a dollop of oil on the lips. They are long wearing and only the centre wears down with the excessive use of mouth for talking, eating and drinking. Not objectifying to being topped up with more matte lip without pilling and flaky.

I have the shade Creeper, which is a true red. Online it looks more orange-red or coral-red but this is defiantly a true red. The formula is quiet thick and pigmented, you do get a lot of product in the tube and it comes with a nice long wand with a doe foot applicator. I am a huge fan of this formula, its super matte, non-drying, relatively transfer proof and very long lasting. I have several Jefree Star lipsticks and have to say this is comparable in quality. I highly recommend these liquid lipsticks as they are fantastic products at an awesome price.

I love these! I went a bit crazy and bought just about every colour, and I did not regret that decision! I've used the Kylie jenner mattes and these are just as good- feel and look exactly the same. These have a lovely, thin consistency, so unlike a lot of the matte lippies out these it doesn't feel thick or heavy (and you don't get the gross build up inside your lips!) amazing longevity, doesn't budge when I think coffee. I can apply it at 8am and it's likely still on when I finish work at 7 (unless I have eaten something particularly messy!)

So Colour Pop has pretty much changed the game for beauty products, in terms of quality and price these are a steal! I had been so interested to try these products for some long as I had heard so many amazing things about them. And as I am based in NZ, I am so glad to finally be able to have these products sent here. They have free shipping over $50 USD which was about $70 NZD for me which was not hard at all to rack up in my basket. As soon as I open their website I immediately want to add everything to my cart. The first time I ordered from Colour Pop I ordered quite a few liquid lipsticks and they had a awesome deal on at the time, which was for every $10 you spend you get a free days of the week liquid lipstick so I ended up with a few freebies. And ever since that order I have been using them everyday and have strayed away from normal lipstick. Colour Pop Ultra Matte Lips have changed the beauty game!!

I had to see what all the hype was about by trying this brand and yes they dried matte but I do not like the way my lips felt I already seems to get dry lips and they look aged and cracked perhaps too much exposure from sun or perhaps as when I was younger I used acne fighting medicines that made me extra easily damaged by the sun and they dried and cracked my lips. Anyway I think these just emphasize the cracked lips and dry them out even more. The logo scratched off super quickly sadly. If you use these you really need to prep your lips with a balm. I think they are okay but not my cup of tea they do not suit me I prefer something that does not feel dry on my lips.

I have never actually bought any colorpop but I have definitely fallen in love with the Matte Lipstick. I was given three gorgeous shades, Dr M which is a moss green colour, and Zipper which is a dark fuchsia and Privacy Please which is an electric lavender colour according to my eyes. I am all for bold in your face colours and these babies really deliver that in you face feeling.

Upon checking the price of them, they are one of the most affordable liquid mattes on the market which makes it so much better for someone like me who is on a budget. The packaging is simple but I like how you can see the colour you are buying through the clear tube. It has a silver lid which gives it a sense of bling. The applicator wand I have to admit is not my fave. It is a spongey feeling end which gathers too much product. It can be hard to get my lip lines straight without having to fix it with a makeup wipe, therefore, wiping off a bit of foundation in the process.

The formula can be quite thick and sticky but once I mastered the application process of less is more I got the hang of it. Once dry oh what a sight to behold! The colour is bold, it's true to the swatches and looks great on. I have worn it out on the town and out shopping. The stay power is actually really amazing. It has a small amount of wear as you would expect when eating and drinking but for the most part it is intact. The only thing that annoys me is when it flakes after wearing for more than 4 hours. The lipstick dries more and flakes off. Also it is quite drying on the lips so I make sure I use lipbalm underneath to prevent that and the flaking too.

In summary for the price and the awesome colour selection I would say this is top five of my fave liquid mattes. It definitely competes with the high end brands that I love which is surprising. It has all I want. Stay power check, boldness check, matte formula check, affordable check. I can't really go wrong here. Seriously give them a go!

These are now my favourite lipsticks. I bought them to give it a go and fell in love. They have stunning colours and they stay really well on the lips. The range of colours are amazing.

Most people say that this is a dupe for Kylie's Matte Liquid Lipsticks but I think that its not. I own both Kylie and Colourpop and the formulation is really different.

Colourpop Ultramatte: - The formulation is not lightweight as compared to Kylie's - The smell is way different, this has a neutral scent while Kylie's has a sweet scent - This is more long lasting than Kylie's - It's drying compared to Kylie's - It's not true to its shades/colors compared to Kylie's, I suggest you go for 1 shade darker than what you see in their sample picture shade

Overall, this is a good product because it's affordable and fun to use. There are actually range of colors/shades compared to Kylie's collection. It gives a tint on your lips that makes it look long lasting. They also have a different formula which is the satin, this is a non drying formula so I suggest you give it a try if you love Colourpop Matte because you'd definitely love it too.

If you want the same formula like Kylie (but different smell) by all means this is the Matte Lipstick that you should get. It's really matte as how it says but OMG my lips were like dry. Sahara dessert dry. I had prep my lips with scrub and moisturizer but gee something just suck the moisture out of lips! it flakes after a few hours and not transfer proof. Kiss your man and he will have flakes everywhere. (You will end up getting the "stare).
