Insomniac

Anastasia Insomniac Liquid Lipstick ($20.00 for 0.11 oz.) is a medium-dark, muted blue-teal with cool undertones and a flat, matte finish. The color payoff was fantastic with full, opaque coverage in a single layer. The color applied evenly and easily across my lips with a smooth, fluid consistency that wasn’t too thick or too thin. I very much appreciated that it was a non-traditional shade but still packed all the pigmentation it needed to have in order to go on beautifully. The color wore well for seven and a half hours and was a bit drying after five hours of wear.

Malt

Anastasia Malt Liquid Lipstick ($20.00 for 0.11 oz.) is a deep brown with strong, warm undertones and a flat, matte finish. It had intense, opaque pigmentation in one layer, but the consistency was a little thicker but still on the more fluid side, so it felt harder to control the color on my lips. I’d recommend wiping away some of the product on the edge of the tube before applying as a full pull of product seemed to be overkill. Luckily, the liquid lipstick applied evenly despite not knowing that initially, though it took longer to dry down along the edges. It stayed on nicely for seven and a half hours and felt drying after five hours of wear.
