This was my first time purchasing lipsticks from Melt Cosmetics even though I have been following the brand for a while and love the Dark Matter eyeshadow stack. Something about the ultra-matte lipstick formula has kind of scared me off. I was always worried the formula would be too dry and accentuate my chapped lips at every chance. However, I bit the bullet when Melt announced their new metallic shades, Lewd & DO?GAF. They are must haves and now I can tell you why below!
At first application, ‘DO?GAF’ is my favorite. It is incredibly pigmented and applied really well! The formula is still dry and I think the metallic specks added to the dryness, but with only one coat needed, my lips didn’t get a workout on application. Lewd, on the other hand, was a little more sheer than I expected. The pigmentation didn’t quite match it’s blue brother and it had a hard time covering my natural lip color. It got a little bit patchy in the middle of my lips and, as you can see in the picture above, it’s not full coverage around the edges either.
I guess it’s worth noting that I exfoliated my lips before application and I applied ‘Lewd’ first. Even though it didn’t ‘wow’ me, I have a plan to put it over a variety of purple pencils and make lemonade out of psuedo-lemons (Do you think Queen B would rock this shade!?). If you guys have any suggestions for blue lip liners, let me know in the comments! I want more blue!
BONUS: Keep scrolling for a picture of some dupes for ‘Lewd’! Still working on finding ones for my blue bombshell, but I’ll keep you all updated!
