\"Pat<\/a><\/p>\n

Pat McGrath launched a new lip pencil called the Dramatique Mega Lip Pencil<\/a> ($29 each). These are in a large pencil format that require sharpening. They\u2019re available at Ulta Beauty<\/a>, Sephora<\/a> and Pat McGrath Labs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I really love these. Colors for every single shade I tried is absolutely stunning. Formula is creamy and easy to apply with a matte finish. They glide onto the lips without any tugging and the coverage is smooth and opaque. Once they set on the lips they have impressive lasting power and these are among the few lip products that don\u2019t transfer to my teeth at all. They\u2019re not 100% transfer-proof but the transfer to a cup or napkin is minimal once it sets on the lips. I also like that they feel relatively weightless on the lips which is a huge plus especially in hot summer months.<\/p>\n

I do wish they were in a twist up formula or came with a sharpener, but for a matte lip formula I really do like these. They can look a little dry if you have dry lips, but this can be fixed with a lip balm or primer. If you haven\u2019t tried the MAC Prep + Prime Lip Primer<\/a> I think you need to. It is the best lip primer that helps smooth the lip surface, adds a light veil of moisture and really helps lipsticks go on smoother without feathering.<\/p>\n

Shades are all on point – I think I can see myself wearing every single color (except the red though, since I rarely wear reds). Some of the neutrals look similar swatched on the arm but on my lips there\u2019s a clear difference in undertone. The darker shades will stain the lips but the lip primer is really good in preventing the staining.<\/p>\n
