Dark Matter 02
Stellar Beauty Dark Matter 02 Infinite Lipstick ($22.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a deep, reddish plum with copper and gold pearl. It had semi-opaque pigmentation, which was buildable to full coverage with two to three layers. The consistency felt stiffer in the tube, but it applied fairly evenly, though I did use more pressure. The lipstick lasted well for five and a half hours, but I don’t think it’s a formula I’d say has all-day wear, just better-than-average wear (though this type of color often wears five to six hours as it is deeper).
The formula is supposed to be “long-lasting” (as in “all-day”) with “saturated pigments” and a “satin finish.” Most modern lipsticks are creamier and more velvety, but the formula of these was very firm, almost dry in the tube; reminiscent of old school, more matte formulas. I had two of the six shades I purchased break at the base, and it seemed due to just how stiff/dry the bullet itself was (it can actually happen when a formula is too creamy as well!). The exterior of the lipstick seemed drier, but as I applied each one to lips, they softened and gave a satin finish, as promised. They had a tendency to tug on lips, though I was able to get fairly even, smooth coverage, and most shades were fairly pigmented. The wear ranged from four to six hours (the wear of most formulas, and not “all-day”), and most shades were neither drying nor hydrating. I didn’t notice any added scent or taste, but they did smell slightly waxy.

Dark Matter 03
Stellar Beauty Dark Matter 03 Infinite Lipstick ($22.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a muted, medium-dark plummy brown with a satin finish. It had good color payoff, though not quite opaque, that went on evenly and smoothly, despite tugging on the lips due to the firmer consistency. It was comfortable to wear over the five hours it lasted and was neither drying nor hydrating.

Dark Matter 04
Stellar Beauty Dark Matter 04 Infinite Lipstick ($22.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a muted, mmedium-dark reddish plum with subtle, warm undertones and a satin finish. It had nearly opaque pigmentation that covered the lips evenly. The texture felt firmer, denser, and a little dry initially, but it softened up slightly and didn’t appear ragged or uneven applied. The formula was lightweight, non-drying, and lasted for five and a half hours on me.
