Pat McGrath Labs matte trance Lipstick Swatches of all Shades
I think you all know how fond I am of these matte lipsticks. I think they are ones of the best matte lipsticks ever, seriously like top 3 of all time. I never got round to swatch the shades I own because my collection kept growing lol. So I decided once and for all I will swatches all of them at my local Sephora store!
Brand’s description: A revolutionary lipstick so luxurious and richly pigmented, it drenches lips in a lightweight veil of opaque colour while delivering a mesmerizingly modern matte finish. Sensually creamy and brilliant in texture, this collection evokes the femme fatale siren with every application. Colour and finish so sinful, your pout will speak volumes without ever whispering a word.
- Innovative formulation combines a strong matte finish with highly saturated pigmentation.
- The vivid and vibrant collection of colours leave lips feeling luscious and smooth, with a supple, cushiony feel.
- Formulated with optical diffusers that blur the appearance of imperfections.
- A blend of polymers provides flexibility and adherence.
- An advanced formulation of spherical particles ensures a creamy, soft texture for the smoothest film of colour.
- Combines powder film with saturated pigment for lightweight opaque coverage.
Application:
Experience a new dimension of lipcolor with these simple techniques to enhance your lust-worthy pout.
Begin by smoothing lips with exfoliant, then gently neutralise natural lip colour with a touch of concealer.
To define the lip and enhance staying power, choose a coordinating PermaGel Ultra Lip Pencil.
Building colour opacity in layers:
Use the finger to press and roll colour onto the lip.
Start in the middle of the bottom lip and transfer colour onto the lips with the index finger, working outwards to either edge.
Repeat on the top lip.
For longer-lasting wear:
After applying lipstick, gently pull a tissue apart so you end up with two thin sheets.
Press one of the sheets against the lips and lightly dust with translucent setting powder.
