Too Faced Melted Metal Lipsticks Review!
“The next innovation in lip color – Melted Metal is liquified metallic lipstick in a tube. Too Faced has taken the 90′s foiled statement lip and reinvented it with the lustrous look of liquified metal; creating a wearable multifaceted color like you’ve never seen before. Melted Metal comfortably coats lips in bursts of rich, glazed, metallic color that melts on and makes a statement.”
Chief Creative Officer and Founder Jerrod Blandino curated the Too Faced Melted Metal ($21) shades ranging from soft gilded corals, iridescent plums and dazzling pinks that offer brilliant depth like never before. There are 8 new shades in the metallic range:
- Melted Peony - metallic dusty rose
- Metallic Tu Tu - metallic warm flamingo
- Metallic Bunny - metallic bubblegum
- Metallic Dream House - metallic electric fuchsia
- Metallic Debutante – metallic apricot rose
- Metallic Macaron - metallic warm bright pink
- Metallic Violet - metallic violet orchid
- Metallic Jelly - metallic deep plum
I need to tell you this: just because you love the original Melted’s does not necessarily mean you will like this version. Obviously, the metals have shimmer while the originals have a cream finish. The Melted Metals are also a bit thinner in consistency, not as long lasting and are a little harder to remove. The two I tried are just as pigmented as the originals, however they don’t fade as evenly as the originals. Another difference is that the Metals feels more like a gloss whereas the original are more of a lipstick.
I chose Debutante and Tu Tu. Debutante is the most metallic of the bunch. I’m sad to say it does not work for me at all. Unfortunately, metallic in this case means frosty. Lots of frost–like 1960′s frost which settles into every lip line I have. The color is pretty, but overshadowed by the finish. I will say though, it isn’t gritty which is good–are you listening MAC?
Tu Tu dials down the shimmer to something more like a pearly finish. The color is a vibrant pinky coral with just a touch of gold shimmer. I can see this shade leaning more to pink or orange depending on your skin tone. I love this bright shade for summer and will be wearing it a lot!
The applicator is the same as the original; a precision tip that allows a clean application each time. Melted Metals are cruelty-free, gluten-free, and vegan-friendly formulated with no parbens, sulfates or phthalates.
Bottom Line: for us over 40 girls, I would steer clear of Debutante unless your lips are in perfect shape. I think I do prefer a more opaque finish so I think I will stick to the original Melteds. That said, I want to add Melted Macaron to my collection.
For swatches of the entire line and on lips go to Dulce Candy or Keiko Lynn.
