[MINISIZE] Pat McGrath - Omi

Pat McGrath Omi MatteTrance Lipsticks ($38.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a muted, medium-dark pink with more neutral undertones and a cream finish. There was a noticeable shine to this one (more so than most shades) that lingered for a full two hours, though a light blotting would take it down immediately. It was so pigmented that blotting would not impact the full coverage results at all. The texture was lightly creamy (after about a second on the lips) and thicker, which helped to cover the lips smoothly and minimize the appearance of my natural texture. It wore well for four and a half hours and was neither drying nor hydrating. The formula is supposed to be “richly pigmented” with “”supreme hydration” and “opulent matte opacity.” It’s a denser, firmer formula that takes a second to warm up against the lips, so the very first pull of the lipstick on the lips tugs slightly but then maneuvers smoothly across the lips without skipping or dragging. The lipstick was thicker on the lips, which ensured richer coverage and helped smooth out the texture of my lips but was less forgiving along the edges. For some of the deeper shades, I would recommend using a lip pencil or a lip brush to ensure crisper lines. For an hour or two, the majority of the shades had more of a satin finish that became more matte as the shine wore down. The wear was between four to eight hours and none felt hydrating over time for me; a few were non-drying while others were noticeably drying. There was no discernible scent or taste to the formula. #minisize #unbox #new #patmcgrath #omi
