Too Faced La Matte Color Drenched Matte Lipstick When in Doubt Review

Hi ladies,

Wanting to add one more n*de daily wear lipstick to my collection, I picked Too Faced La Matte Color Drenched Matte lipstick in the shade “When in Doubt.” I also bought a coral pink from the same range called “Bachelorette” which did not fare well on me. So, here’s more on the shade “When in Doubt.”

My Take on Too Faced La Matte Color Drenched Matte Lipstick When in Doubt:

The lipstick comes in a fun packaging with a lot of cute details printed on the packaging. I have hardly seen such a packaging for lipsticks. The bullet is heavier than usual lipstick bullets, and I like it! I am not a fan of lightweight stuff, I feel they look cheap (well, that’s a personal fetish!).

This lipstick has a sweet vanilla fragrance, not bothersome for me at all. “When in Doubt” is a n*de lipstick, almost looks like velvet teddy n*de. When In Doubt is described as a matte cool beige, and it has a very subtle pink undertone to it. When swatched on hand, it has a creamy matte texture, but on lips, it looks powdery. It clings to every possible dry patch on the lips and even settles into the fine lines. Even after pursing the lips together, the lipstick doesn’t smoothen up. I was disappointed to see the lipstick this way.

This color washed out my NC40 complexion, so to make it work, I topped it up with Smashbox liquid lipstick Driver’s Seat. It looked more wearable with that.

The good thing here was the staying power. It stayed all day long with snacks, tea and lunch. The color gave my lips a plush pinky look all day, so if you can manage the powdery feel, this is a great color for everyday wear and to look fresh. I got good color payoff in one swipe, did not have to smear the lipstick to achieve an opaque color payoff. I would suggest you all to prepare your lips overnight before putting applying this lipstick.

I did feel that it’s a little heavy on the lips, but then seems to get normal after a couple of hours. This lipstick does not bleed or feather, but stays intact, being creamy matte and not completely matte, it does transfer.

Pros of Too Faced La Matte Color Drenched Matte Lipstick When in Doubt:

  • Everyday, wearable fresh color.
  • Nice fragrance.
  • Nice packaging.
  • Infused with lotus flower.
  • Good staying power.
  • Does not bleed.

Cons of Too Faced La Matte Color Drenched Matte Lipstick When in Doubt:

  • Availability in India.
  • Settles into fine lines and clings to dry patches.
  • Transfers (not really a con actually because we know the deal with creamy matte lipsticks).
