Tarte Homeslice Tarteist Quick Dry Matte Lip Paints ($20.00 for 0.20 fl. oz.) is a medium coral with warm undertones and a matte finish. It had good color payoff, but it was not full coverage; you’d definitely need to apply a second layer to get that level of coverage. The consistency was thin, a little streaky and hard to spread across the lips without the color sinking into lip lines. This shade lasted for five hours but had some uneven fading around the center of the mouth. It felt a bit drying over time.

The Quick Dry formula is supposed to have “full coverage” with a “transfer-proof” finish that won’t crack, dry your lips out, or feather. After trialling more shades in the formula, there is a lot of inconsistency across shades. Some are nice, some are terrible; some absolutely “crack” and others have a soft matte finish that is transfer-proof without making lips look drier. The formula is, overall, lightly to moderately drying on me, though the wear is longer at five to seven hours and most shades had good pigmentation.

Delish

Tarte Delish Tarteist Quick Dry Matte Lip Paints ($20.00 for 0.20 fl. oz.) is a muted, medium-dark rosy plum with warm undertones and a matte finish. It had opaque color coverage that applied smoothly and evenly on the lips. The consistency was thin, lightweight, and spread across the lips without streaking and dried down to a matte finish that did not appear dry or cracked. This shade wore well for five hours on me and was just a touch drying overall.

Rose

Tarte Rose Tarteist Quick Dry Matte Lip Paints ($20.00 for 0.20 fl. oz.) is a muted, medium rose with warm undertones and a matte finish. It had mostly opaque pigmentation that went on evenly, but I had issues with the color drying down smoothly as it appeared “cracked” as I moved my mouth. The consistency didn’t seem overly watery, but it ran thinner and dried down faster than other shades, so it was harder to work with as a result. This shade wore for closer to five and a half hours, but there was uneven fading across the lips due to how it “cracked” to begin with, so the color flaked away in some places. The formula was moderately drying on me.
