Kat Von D Lovecraft, Malice, Miss Argentina Everlasting Liquid Lipsticks

Lovecraft

Kat Von D Lovecraft Everlasting Liquid Lipstick ($20.00 for 0.22 fl. oz.) is a medium-dark, rosy mauve with subtle, cool undertones and a matte finish. It had rich, opaque pigmentation that applied evenly and smoothly across the lips. The consistency was thin without being watery, and it spread easily over the lips for even coverage. It dried down to a flat, matte finish that didn’t appear “cracked” when I smiled. This shade wore well for seven and a half hours and was lightly drying after six hours of wear.

Malice

Kat Von D Malice Everlasting Liquid Lipstick ($20.00 for 0.22 fl. oz.) is a bright, medium-dark orange with warm, red undertones and a matte finish. It had good pigmentation, but it wasn’t fully opaque in one layer, which was surprising given the type of shade (like reds, oranges are often quite pigmented). The texture was slightly thicker than average for the brand but spread evenly across the lips. It seemed to take longer to dry down, and it was a little tacky for longer, so I had a bit of color lift unexpectedly. This particular shade highlighted the lines on my lips after drying down, and it appeared “cracked” when I smiled. It wore well for seven hours and was non-drying but faded more strongly from the center first.

Miss Argentina

Kat Von D Miss Argentina Everlasting Liquid Lipstick ($20.00 for 0.22 fl. oz.) is a rich, deep berry with cool undertones and a matte finish. It had mostly opaque color coverage, but you could see my lip freckle peeking through with just one layer applied. If you like a lighter look, the translucency might work for you as the color still applied evenly across the lips, but if you wanted full coverage, a second layer would be necessary. The liquid lipstick was thin, a smidgen more fluid than I would prefer as it took more patience to get precise edges. This shade lasted for eight hours and left a stain behind, while the formula felt a bit drying after six hours of wear.
