One of the comfiest liquid lipsticks I have ever tried. Period.
I first stumbled upon this lipstick months ago. The first Meet Matt(e) Hughes I purchased was the shade Charming. At first I wasn't really into it so I decided to give it away. It wasn't until last month-when I laid my eyes on the newer shades-that I realised how much I love this liquid lipstick.
Packaging
The Balm's products have the best packaging. How can you stay away from the eye-catching, Retro packaging. Plus, they all have cute names. The picture of Matt and his date is too cute. The tube itself is transparent with a doe foot applicator. The only con of this lipstick would be messy, look at the wand below. Although I never experience it, some people complain that the products would leak out of the tube.
Texture
It has a creamy texture which I really like. I prefer a mousse-y formula as it doesn't dry out your lips. Even though it doesn't feel as dry as say Colourpop, you still need to prep your lips before applying. If you put it on dry lips, it will show your lip lines and the dead skin.
Scent
Probably the tastiest scent from a liquid lipstick. It has a mint chocolate smell which I'm fine with it. Not a big fan, but it's better than the chemical-smelling liquid lipstick. Compared to the Revlon ColorBurst Matte, the mint scent is more subtle. It doesn't leave a tingly sensation on your lips, unlike Revlon's (which I dislike).
Longevity
Liquid lipsticks that are comfortable usually don't last as long as the uncomfortable ones. The Balm has a creamy texture, very comfortable to use, therefore, it doesn't last very long on the lips. Although, it really depends on whether you eat or not, what you eat, and your habit (licking your lips will make the lipstick fades faster).
Swatches + Thoughts on Each Shade
Starting with the lightest shade I own, this one surprised me. I thought it wouldn't look good on me, that it would make me look pale. Surprisingly, I like it. It still gives my lips colour without making me look like a sick person. It lasts pretty well on the lips. I could use it for hours and when it starts to fade I could barely see it if it's not up-close.
The first shade I bought when I decided to give this lipstick another go. I think it's the perfect nude for me. If you think that Charming is too dark and Committed is too light, get this one.
The shade that rekindled my love with The Balm Meet Matt(e). Purple and berries will always have a spot in my heart. Dedicated is such a fun and bold colour. The only turnoff with this one is that this particular shade is super messy. See the picture below.
My least favourite out of the bunch. Not a big fan of bright red lipsticks, only the dark vampy ones. However, if you're into reds then this might be the perfect shade. Not too light, not too dark. And yes, the picture is blurry. I was trying to fix my hair, the timer won't wait.
I completely adore this colour! Definitely one of my favourites. This and Committed, can't decide which one's my fave! A bit patchy when swatched on hand. However, on the lips it looks perfect. The lipstick looks darker in real life. I absolutely love how this looks on me. Can't stop staring at myself when wearing this.
You can purchase it from The Balm's stores or online shop for cheaper price. When purchasing on online shop beware of fake The Balm Meet Matt(e) Hughes. Thank you for reading!
