The formulas aren't as long-wearing as we had anticipated. The mattes are definitely a lot more pigmented and provide better color payoff as you can see in the images below. But don't purchase the palette expecting one application to last the whole day. You'll probably need to top it up at least thrice during the day after you eat and drink. I actually think it makes reapplication easier though as you don't have a crusty faded base to work around like normal matte formulas. Thankfully, there's a lot of new matte formulas out now that are comfortable and thin like an ink stain. But that's for another time.

I also noticed that Peter Phillips created ombre lips for the campaign imagery. Using the gloss as a primer, he then layers the entire lip with a satin shade and adds the pigmented punch to the inner lip for a just-bitten look. In terms of a rating, I would give it a 7/10 due to the flattering hues. However, I would've preferred the glosses to be a little shinier and the satin shades to be a bit more long-wearing. Nothing to cry over though as you can apply your own gloss with the desired finish and impact over the top.
