ColorPop Ultra Matte Lip Review

I was so excited to try these lipsticks, but when I tried one for the first time I was so disappointed. I tried Beeper and initially it was nice; the application was good and I liked the formula. However about an hour later I felt the lipstick crumble off my lips. It was terrible, it all crumbled off and made my lips extremely dry. I would only recommend these if you have really well moisturised lips and/or you can afford to touch up your lipstick multiple times a day.

I have two of these liquid matte lipsticks and I am just itching for more!!

Bumble is hands down the best matte lipstick I have ever tried. The colour is a dusky rosey pink which glides on perfectly and dries to a perfect matte. It doesn't bleed and it doesn't transfer. It wears well throughout the whole day with only the smallest amount of wear on the inside edge of my lips.

HOWEVER...Notion is the second colour I own in the ultra matte lipstick. It has a very deep purpley pink (described as deepened raspberry on Colour Pop's site, though I feel like it's too purple for raspberries). It has the same consistency, it applies and wears very well. But here's the kicker: it transfers a lot and it bleeds a little. It's still become one of my favourite lip colours to wear and I endure it's downfalls for that reason. Removing it was quite hard as the deep colour somewhat stained my lips and slid AROUND my lips to slightly stain my face... not cool... but with a few extra minutes work and some extra wipes I was able to get rid of it all. So BE CAREFUL.

All up I think each colour of the ultra mattes are going to be different, but I have faith that they'll all give you that snap chat worthy pout you're looking for.

Again I love Colourpop! They are currently making me spend all my money! And its so cheap! These Ultra Mattes are some of my favourites. I love anything matte and especially when it dries down as I hate going out and ending up with a line around my lips. I love something that stays all night long and these bad boys do! I have so many colours and will 100% buy more :)

I own the shades, Creeper (the perfect red, bright, vibrant.. to die for) and LAX (a deep, rich, red toned brown/maroon-ey colour).

PROS: The PIGMENT IS EVERYTHING. These Lipstick's have the most incredible colour pay off - one swatch or brush against your lip and, BOOM, colour in all it's vibrancy. The quality of the colour is unreal for what you pay for these lipsticks. I have had so many compliments on both shades. LONGWEARING: Well folks, they certainly do as they say... these bad boys are incredibly long wearing and they don't transfer unless they get wet (either with a drink or I notice towards the inner of my lips where the saliva is). I actually just wore Creeper yesterday and it lasted all day, every time I went to the mirror thinking I needed a touch up, it was still looking fantastic and no touch up was required (so technically, you're saving product and therefore money!) EASY TO USE: These bad boys are fantastic and easy to apply, the applicator that it comes with is easy to create a nice clean line around your lips and if needed using a smaller detail brush is easy too as although the product dries quickly, it's not so quick that you don't have enough time to work with it.

CONS: The only con is that the lipsticks are quite drying... but that is the risk with any Matte Lipstick.. let's be real. However, it's not drying to the point of peeling/crumbling after time which is a pet hate of mine. So, although it is drying, it's something that I can cope with and doesn't stop me from reaching for these lipsticks over and over again.

CONLUSION: DO IT, it's worth the money, it's worth your time. These lipsticks are QUALITY, I can't actually wrap my head around how cheap they are for the fantastic product you are getting.

so, i got on this matte lipstick train at a late time (after the crazy has kinda passed). but i have no regrets, it gave me the opportunity to get my head around the product and save and get heaps all at once hahaha. so i got quite a few...about 15 to be exact. mostly nudes and pinks.

now these mattes are interesting. they look great in the tube. they look ok on your arm swatch. then it looks completely different when you apply to your lips. so that's a bit annoying lol. the pigment in my lips darkens the colour and i'm not too keen in the bold dark lip anymore. also...they are VERY drying on me. i constantly have peeling flaking lips.

I recently purchsed 2 of the ultra matte liquid lips from colourpop, in the shades "embellish" and 'are n be'.

My experience's with them both are so similar but so very different.

Embellish went on beautifully, the formula is quite thin and creamy. I think this may be the reason as to why it bleeds once on the lip. You definetley have to line the lip to prevent it from happening. While it does dry it doesn't completley dry, therefore not making it an Ultra Matte, or even a Matte. It stays really tacky on the lip and the transfer is quite significant making it not last as long as i had hoped for an 'Ultra Matte'.

Are N Be has the same formula quite thin and bleeds once on the lip also, so lining is a must! The formula is so silky smooth on the lip its beautiful, this one completley dries and i see where the name 'ultra matte' comes from when wearing this shade. it doesn't dry out so much that it makes the lips chapped and uncomfortable. It stays silky soft once dried. It doesn't last long on the lip, i did find i had to re apply after eating or drinking.

A mixed review from these shades, i'm still uncertain as to weather i'd purchase any more. I do know though they will not be my first choice when picking a Matte lip.

I purchased 2 of these recently when Colorpop decided to do free shipping to NZ. I jumped in on an order to help a friend get the free, and from memory they arrived pretty quickly.

I bought the shades Privacy Please and Zipper. Both are purpley colors. Privacy Please is almost like the color of the lip rating on BR, and Zipper is a darker purple. They're both gorgeous but unfortunately I have issues with them!

They're super matte, I find that Zipper dries down really fast and makes my lips feel weird and tight - and I really hate that feeling. Privacy Please is slightly better, it doesn't dry as tight or feel as annoying on the lips. I haven't been able to wear Zipper all day, let alone for 5 minutes, but Privacy Please lasts all of the day.

I found both of them super hard to remove, so depending on how you look at it, they last a long time! I'd recommend them for that reason but otherwise I'm not overly fond of them, and I wouldn't buy them again.

These matte liquid lipsticks have a reasonable price point and with free international shipping until the end of the year (for purchases over USD50.00) it’s hard not to add a few to the cart. Going forward however I will be sticking to the lippie stix because the formulas for the matte liquid lipsticks are inconsistent. Some are smooth, lightweight and velvety while others are drying, tacky and feel uncomfortable on the lips.

Lumiere 2 is supposed to be the liquid lipstick version of the lippie stix Lumiere (a pink mauve) however on me it comes out two shades lighter and appears more cool tone so that it washes me out.

The wand applicator is more of a rounded doe foot without precision so much so that I find that I always have to clean up the edges of my lips. The dry down of Lumiere 2 is a tad patchy because it dries down lighter in some areas and darker in others to the point that I can see a bit of my skin coming through. It's not overly noticeable but as it begins to fade it becomes obvious.

It felt comfortable to wear but begins fading within 3 hours and the product (same with Viper) begins to break away quite badly in the inside of your mouth leaving you with a ghastly-looking rim. I retouch it by applying another layer and I make sure to wipe off the excess as I don’t want any build-up of product. I found that this particular shade becomes rather tacky (like drying glue) to the point that it’s too uncomfortable to wear because it feels like you’re walking around with something stuck on your lips.

Viper is a gorgeous berry mauve. The colour on the skin looks so much better than what you see in the tube and it's a shade I feel anyone can rock. Viper feels so lightweight that I can wear this comfortably for most of the day with probably two touch ups. Unlike Lumiere 2, this shade doesn’t emphasise the lines as much.

Out of the shades I own, I would definitely go for the berry shades as they just seem to perform better and feel good on the lips. I have no intention of repurchasing these again.

These are handsome down my favorite matte lippy's! Everything about these are great; the colour range, texture, staying power and price. It's awesome to see such a beautiful makeup range on the market that is so affordable. I have at least 20 of these with my favorite colour being Tulle followed by Stingraye, Prim and More Better.

Really lovely colours and such great colour pay off, not all of the colours last all day but the more neutral shade last ages.
