RiotNARS Riot Velvet Matte Lip Pencil Set ($45.00 for 0.32 oz.) is the boldest of the Velvet Matte Lip Pencil Sets this year with three reds shades and one berry hue to enjoy. All four shades had semi-opaque to opaque pigmentation, four to six hour wear, and were fairly easy to apply, though they could have go on a bit more evenly overall. That being said, from a normal viewing distance, they did not look uneven, so we are talking minor unevenness. The set contains four full-sized Velvet Matte Lip Pencils, in all new shades, giving it a total value of $108. My information had it exclusively available at NARS, but it is also on Nordstrom, Barneys, and Saks (specialty retailers).

ClashClash is a soft, muted red with subtle, cool undertones and a matte finish. It had semi-opaque pigmentation that adhered well but did not apply quite as evenly as I expected it to. The texture felt smooth, velvety, and thin, which kept it lightweight and from feathering/bleeding on me. It wore well for four and a half hours and was non-drying. Top Dupes
Formula Overview$27.00/0.08 oz. - $337.50 Per Ounce The formula is supposed to be “long-lasting” with “rich” and “seamless color.” The texture has a more velvety feel: smooth, thinner but glides on easily, and doesn’t have a lot of wetness/creaminess. The pigmentation varied from shade to shade with most shades having semi-opaque coverage. They were easy to apply along the lips and comfortable to apply, as they did not tug. The formula lasted anywhere from three hours to six hours, and some shades were somewhat drying and others were non-drying. Browse all of our NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil swatches.

RebelRebel is a deep red with cool, pink undertones and a matte finish. The color coverage was nearly opaque in a single layer and easily built up to full coverage with a bit more applied as needed. The pencil had a smooth, velvety consistency that glided easily across my lips and adhered evenly without sliding around over time, yet it was lightweight and flexible. It lasted nicely for six hours and was non-drying. Top Dupes

WastedWasted is a soft, medium-dark berry with cool undertones and a matte finish. It had semi-opaque color payoff that applied fairly evenly across my lips. It had a lightweight, smooth consistency that felt velvety without a lot of slip, so the pencil didn’t tug during application and the color itself wasn’t high-maintenance while worn. This shade stayed on well for five hours and was slightly drying over time. Top Dupes

RiotRiot is a rich red with neutral undertones and a matte finish. The pigmentation was nearly opaque, but the product seemed to pull away from itself a bit–like it was patchy on a nano scale, just enough where the finish wasn’t as smooth on my lips as other shades, though from afar, it looked fine. It applied without pulling on my lips, and the pencil itself still had the same velvety, smooth texture I expect from this formula. On me, it wore well for six hours but was slightly drying over time. Top Dupes

It had some larger particles to it, though they seemed to adhere well when applied on my lower lash line with the only fallout occurring if I attempted to blend/diffuse it after it had dried down. This worked best layered over other, deeper, more blackened eyeliners (like a true black) as the base color was still prominent enough that it made other shades look uneven if applied over light and mid-tone bases. It lasted well for nine hours on me (I tested it alone for wear). Top Dupes
Formula Overview$22.00/0.06 oz. - $366.67 Per Ounce The formula is a "top coat" that can be layered over your liquid liner or can be built up for "full drama" if desired. I think "top coat" is quite apt for these, as they absolutely work well for layering on top of other products, like liquid eyeliner, or to add a dose of sparkle with less base coverage. They have a shinier finish at dry down with moderate to heavy amounts of sparkle and glitter (depends on the shade). The consistency was quite thin and watery, and I found it difficult to pull the thin brush-style applicator in a fluid stroke and get even coverage out of it. The formula dried down quickly, so it wasn't prone to drying into my fine lines, and once it dried down, it locked into place well for nine to ten hour wear.

StatuesqueMAC Statuesque Dazzleliner ($22.00 for 0.06 oz.) is a bright, sparkling silver with fine pearl and larger sparkle. It had semi-sheer coverage that spread fairly evenly in a single, fluid stroke, but it was more watery in texture and was hard to control for a consistent thickness in the line, though. As a top coat, it was sufficient as the base seemed translucent and there was a good amount of shimmer/sparkle that translated when it was layered over other eyeliners. It dried down quickly and wore well for nine hours without fallout. Top Dupes

Holiday TimeMAC Holiday Time Dazzleliner ($22.00 for 0.06 oz.) is a sparkling, golden peach with lots of gold sparkle and pearl. It had a very sheer base, so it worked well for layering over all sorts of types of products from other liquid eyeliners to pencil eyeliners to eyeshadow. It had a watery consistency that made it hard to control it in a fluid stroke, but it dispersed the shimmer/sparkle fairly evenly overall. Once applied, it dried down quickly and stayed in place well for nine hours without fallout. Top Dupes

Midnight ToastMAC Midnight Toast Dazzleliner ($22.00 for 0.06 oz.) is a blackened navy blue base with fine navy blue and mid-tone blue pearl. This one had a shinier, more metallic finish and the most coverage out of the four shades–nearly semi-opaque. It didn’t seem quite was watery, though it was thin and very fluid (again, a bit too fluid as it was harder to control). It applied best over other deep shades (like black eyeliner) to avoid any visible unevenness. It dried down quickly and lasted well for 10 hours without thinning, fading, or flaking. Top Dupes

For the fall/winter, five new variations in the Huda Beauty Obsessions Palette ($27.00 for 0.45 oz.) range launched in a collection dubbed “Precious Stones.” Each palette is inspired by a stone, and the color scheme of each palette is reflected by that. I loved the concept but found the execution to be more hit and miss than the brand’s permanent Obsessions palettes, which I’ve enjoyed. The shimmers used throughout are denser and thicker compared to past iterations–creamier and more silicone-heavy but in a way that doesn’t play as well with brushes or more diffused/blended application (but will swatch great with fingertips). The mattes seemed a bit drier and thinner with pigmentation being more medium to semi-opaque (often buildable).

via https://www.temptalia.com/the-best-worst-of-huda-beauty-precious-stones-obsessions-palettes/ MAC Powder Kiss Lipstick ($19.00 for 0.10 oz.) is supposed to feel “weightless” with a “blur of effortless soft-focus color.” Per the brand, the formula “provides immediate and long-term hydration” while “blur[ring] lines and smooth[ing] lips” and having “zero-shine.” They have a bit of shine and slip; I wouldn’t call them zero-shine so much as very smooth and more like a natural or soft matte finish. Like any finish with slight shine, they did wear down to a more, flat matte finish within an hour or so of wear. The consistency was lightweight, thin, and velvety with a bit of slip (a little like a silicone primer to me) and was comfortable to wear with a non-drying to lightly hydrating feel. The pigmentation ranged from semi-opaque to opaque with deeper shades having more coverage. There were a few very light shades, which did not apply as evenly and had a tendency to catch on any imperfections on my lips, whereas the deeper shades went on more smoothly and looked more flattering on as they were less likely to emphasize texture. They lasted between two and a half and six hours with deeper shades, unsurprisingly, lasting longer than the ultra-light ones. I personally found the scent of these to be noticeably different, both that it was sweeter and less vanilla-based but I also got a strong rubber scent that came through. The scent did not linger for long, so it wasn’t something that I detected throughout the wear, but it had a strong, sweet taste that was present until it was gone. Other readers who have smelled the formula in person did not catch any rubber/off-putting scent (my husband thought it smelled weird, not bad per se, but couldn’t be more specific), and when I went back to double check each shade, each one of mine still had that rubbery note.

MAC Powder Kiss Lipstick MAC Powder Kiss Lipstick via https://www.temptalia.com/best-worst-of-mac-powder-kiss-lipsticks/ Subversive MetalmorphosisPat McGrath Subversive Metalmorphosis MTHRSHP Eyeshadow Palette ($55.00 for 0.42 oz.) is a new, limited edition six-pan palette that includes four new shades and two repeated from last year’s limited edition Decadence palette. I think that Pat McGrath’s metallic eyeshadow formula may be one of the best on the market, if not the best, that I have tried myself. It is incredibly luxe; finely-milled, creamy without being heavy or thick, intensely pigmented but just as easily blended out for diffused edges. The eyeshadows retain such a high-shine finish without having to apply them with fingertips or a dampened brush; they are that rich and bright applied with a dry brush. The metallics just melt on my lids giving them a glow, and all that creaminess and shine doesn’t come with shorter wear or a specific application method.

MetallurgyMetallurgy is a bright, medium-dark antique gold with subtle, warm undertones and a bright, metallic sheen. It was intensely pigmented that applied evenly to bare skin. The consistency was lightly creamy, smooth, and blendable with the slip of more silicone-heavy formulations but without the thickness, so it was incredibly easy to blend out and diffuse along the edges. It lasted well on my lids for almost 10 hours before creasing faintly. Top Dupes
Formula Overview- Pat McGrath's eyeshadows are, generally, supposed to be "super-saturated" with "creamy, soft textures" and "extreme blendability and adherence without creasing." A lot of how well they perform (and to some degree, how they are supposed to be applied and marketed) depends on the type of shades, but by and large, the eyeshadows perform very much as they are described. The mattes are velvety, blendable, and dense without being thick or too heavy, and they have semi-opaque to opaque pigmentation where a little can go a long way with some of the deeper and richer hues. The satin and pearl finishes are smooth, lightly creamy, and firmer but not dense or thick with good pigmentation, blendability, and easy application. The more metallic finishes tend to be softer, creamy, and smooth with a bit more denseness and no powderiness. The sparkly/glittery shades are often designed to be applied wet for richer coverage or intensity, which has largely been my experience. Most of the shades last between eight and nine hours.

CopperCopper is a medium-dark, rosy copper with subtle, warm undertones and a sparkling, metallic finish. It had excellent pigmentation with a more loosely-pressed, slightly more sparkly texture (so it wasn’t as smooth as the other shades in the palette). I thought it was going to have major problems with fallout during application, but it adhered well to bare skin when I pressed and patted it on with just slight fallout as the creamier base seemed to really keep the sparkles in place. It wore well for nine and a half hours on me before fading noticeably. Top Dupes

The satin and pearl finishes are smooth, lightly creamy, and firmer but not dense or thick with good pigmentation, blendability, and easy application. The more metallic finishes tend to be softer, creamy, and smooth with a bit more denseness and no powderiness. The sparkly/glittery shades are often designed to be applied wet for richer coverage or intensity, which has largely been my experience. Most of the shades last between eight and nine hours.

SterlingSterling is a bright silver with subtle, cool undertones and a sparkling, metallic finish. The eyeshadow was very nearly opaque in one layer, while the texture was soft, smooth, and lightly creamy but not quite as finely-milled and superb as some of the other shades in the palette. The eyeshadow applied well to bare skin, and I didn’t have any issues diffusing the edges. It wore well for almost 10 hours before I noticed a bit of fading. Top Dupes

Smoked AmethystSmoked Amethyst is a blackened purple with a pearly sheen and a few larger sparkles. The color payoff was opaque in a single layer–a little went a long way–with a soft, blendable consistency that was slightly creamier and denser but not thick. It applied well to bare skin, blended out easily along the edges, and lasted nicely for nine and a half hours on me before fading noticeably. Top Dupes

BronzeBronze is a medium-dark, golden copper with warm undertones and a metallic finish. It was richly pigmented with a smooth, lightly creamy texture that applied evenly and blended out easily along the edges with almost no effort. It wore well for nine and a half hours on me before fading slightly. Top Dupes

Gold StandardGold Standard is a rich gold with warm undertones and a metallic sheen. The texture was smooth, lightly creamy, and blendable without being too thick or too thin–it was denser but not thick or heavy, so it had the intensity and high-shine finish of a dampened eyeshadow without having to wet a brush. The eyeshadow had opaque color payoff that stayed on nicely for almost 10 hours on me. Top Dupes
