Pat McGrath Labs MatteTrance Lipstick Candy Flip Review

Pat McGrath lipsticks have gained so much popularity over the past few months! Initially, I had picked just one shade from her lipstick range, but now I have quite a few of her “Mattetrance” lipsticks. Lipsticks that I own from Pat McGrath’s Mattetrance range – 1995, Omi, Flesh 3, Full Panic, Elson, Obsessed, McMenamy, Antidote, Full Blooded, Candy Flip, and Vendetta. Yes, that’s a lot, but these are the best lipsticks that I have ever tried. The lipstick that I will be reviewing in this post is “Candy Flip.”

Product Description:
A richly-pigmented lipstick that adorns lips in a lightweight veil of opaque color for a modern, matte finish.   Mattetrance is a richly-pigmented lipstick with a sensually creamy, powerful pigment that evokes screen siren glamour with every application. Each shade is presented like a jewel in a black-lacquered couture case fashioned with a sensually surrealist golden lip that’s destined to be a cult-status collectable.   Get entrancing color that satisfies with supreme hydration and opulent matte opacity. Flaunt this richly pigmented formulation, cloaking lips in a lightweight veil of rich color. It’s infused with optical diffusers that blur the appearance of imperfections, combined with a blend of polymers to provide flexibility and adherence. An advanced formulation of spherical particles ensure a creamy soft texture for the smoothest film of color. Each shade is enmeshed in a powder film combined with saturated pigment for lightweight opaque coverage. This lipstick lays down a high impact with a strong finish.

My Experience with Pat McGrath MatteTrance Lipstick Candy Flip:

This mattetrance lipstick comes housed in a very beautiful metallic black case with moulded gold lips on it. The case is quite heavy and screams luxury . The black with gold detailing makes it look very luxe and classy. The name of the brand and shade are printed on the bottom of the tube.

“Candy Flip” is a muted pinky-coral shade which would suit most skin tones and complexions. The pigmentation of this lipstick is unreal! It delivers full opacity in just a single swipe. It feels very smooth and soft on the lips. Though in bullet, the color looks extremely matte, but it gains a slight sheen after application.

This lipstick has no fragrance which makes it perfect for people who do not like scent in their lip products. This Pat McGrath lipstick feels like a dream on the lips. It is extremely lightweight and makes lips look fuller and plump.

Mattetrance lipstick also doesn’t cling on to dry patches, neither does it settle into fine lines of the lips. It is not transferproof but the pigment doesn’t go away from the lips even when you eat or drink. I haven’t noticed any feathering with “Candy Flip.”

I got around 9 hours of wear time with this lipstick with eating and drinking and it did not dry out my lips through the wear time.

I can compare this Pat Mcgrath lipstick to Louboutin matte lipsticks in terms of texture and pigmentation and a very close dupe for it would be YSL Pur Couture Lipstick in the the shade #52.
