Pat McGrath Guinevere MatteTrance Lipstick

Guinevere
Pat McGrath Guinevere MatteTrance Lipstick ($38.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a deep red with warm undertones and a satin finish. The color coverage was opaque in one layer (if it was possible to apply half of a layer, that might be all one really needed!), and the color applied evenly and smoothly without settling in my lip lines. It had a smooth, velvety consistency that was creamy without being slippery or “wet.” This particular shade seemed to camouflage my natural texture as well. On me, the lipstick stayed on well for seven hours, left a faint stain behind, and was hydrating while worn.

Marc Jacobs Beauty Miss Scarlet (208) (P, $30.00) is darker (95% similar).Maybelline Cruel Ruby (P, $7.49) is less glossy (95% similar).Colour Pop Liquid Courage (P, $7.00) is warmer (90% similar).Kat Von D Nahz Fur Atoo (P, $19.00) is darker (90% similar).Bite Beauty Mistletoe (LE, $26.00) is darker (90% similar).NARS Louise (P, $34.00) is darker (90% similar).NARS Shirley (P, $34.00) is lighter, cooler (90% similar).NARS Hell Gate (LE, $28.00) is glossier (90% similar).MAC Fire Roasted (P, $21.00) is lighter, glossier (90% similar).NARS Rouge Indiscret (LE, $28.00) is lighter (90% similar).More dupes — click to see the full list!Formula Overview
$38.00/0.14 oz. – $271.43 Per OunceThe formula is supposed to be “richly pigmented” with “”supreme hydration” and “opulent matte opacity.” The consistency was smooth, velvety, and dense without being too firm for one-stroke, glide-on application (I found the original shades to be slightly firmer compared to more newly released shades). They had nearly opaque to opaque coverage in one layer and most were buildable.
They had a subtle sheen–more satin-to-cream in finish–that wore down to a natural matte finish within an hour or two of wear. The formula lasted between four and eight hours on me, and while most weren’t drying, they aren’t “supreme[ly” hydrating either. They are, however, comfortable to wear over a longer period of time and reapply well. There was no discernible scent or taste to the formula.

Pat McGrath Deep Orchid MatteTrance Lipstick

Deep Orchid
Pat McGrath Deep Orchid MatteTrance Lipstick ($38.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a muted, medium-dark berry with subtle, cool undertones and a cream finish. The pigmentation was nearly opaque, as it didn’t seem to apply quite as well along the inner area of my lips (was slightly under full coverage whereas other areas seemed fully covered). The consistency felt lightweight despite having a thicker feel to it, and the lipstick was creamy enough to glide on without tugging but not so much that it felt slippery while worn. It was comfortable to wear over the seven hours it lasted for, and it felt lightly moisturizing while I wore it.

Colour Pop Persuasion (LE, $5.50) is less glossy (95% similar).Smashbox Femme Fatale (P, $21.00) is cooler, less glossy (95% similar).Anastasia #10 (Vol. 1) (P, ) is less glossy (95% similar).Givenchy Violine Retro (P, $37.00) is more muted, less glossy (90% similar).Makeup Geek Rocker Chick (P, $12.00) is darker, less glossy (90% similar).Maybelline Berry Bossy (P, $7.49) is lighter (90% similar).Hourglass If I Could (P, $34.00) is darker (90% similar).Make Up For Ever M501 (P, $22.00) is darker, less glossy (90% similar).Colour Pop Plastics (LE, $5.50) is lighter, less glossy (90% similar).MAC Babes and Balls (LE, $18.50) is darker, less glossy (90% similar).More dupes — click to see the full list!Formula Overview
