E.l.f Studio Matte Lip Color Swatches and review

  Hello, today I am reviewing the Matte Lip Colors from E.l.f. They come in a jumbo pencil with a twist top. They're easy to use and you never have to sharpen them. They claim to be long lasting and have vitamins A, C and E for hydration.

How many Matte Lip Colors do they sell? 6 colors. 

How long do they last? Four hours 

Are they sticky? They have a slight tacky feeling but I don't think it's enough to bother anyone.

Do they stain? They don't claim to stain but I do think they leave a color on your lips after the product is gone.

How much do they cost? $3 each

How much product do you get?  SIZE 0.06oz/1.8g

Do I need a sharpener? No, they are a twist up.

How many stars are they rated? 4.0 out of 646 reviews.

How moisturizing are they? They provide some moisture but I think they always need a Chapstick underneath. 

Do they bleed outside the lip line? No they do not.

What are the ingredients? Paraffinum Liquidum (Mineral Oil), Microcrystalline Wax (Cera Microcristallina), Synthetic Beeswax,Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba) Wax, Ozokerite, Polyethylene, Ceresin, Silica Dimethyl Silylate, Polyisobutene, Aspartame, Retinol (VA), Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate (VC), Tocopheryl Acetate (VE), Phenoxyethanol, Ethylparaben,Propylparaben, Methylparaben.

 Note: Below I swatches the Lip colors on white paper, so that you can see the true color of the products. 


Tea rose is more of a nude color. It seems to make my lips look dead. It reall washes me out and I don't think I will repurchase this color. 

Natural looks the same as Tea rose when applied to the lips. It make my lips look zombified and I won't repurchase this color.

Ok, Coral is a nice color but I had a faulty package this time. However, I did manage to pop it back in place. Obviously, Coral is a coral shade and it's very pretty on the lips. I will repurchase this summertime color!

Rich red is not a true red. It shows up on my lighter skintone as a pink red.  It's my favorite color that I have from this collection and I love it! I love how I can control the intensity of the red when I build up the color on my lips. I will repurchase this color when I run out.


Overall, I think these are great products. I don't love all the colors but that doesn't mean the formula isn't good itself. I hope they do come out with more colors because most of them are nude, which I don't like. I hope you found this helpful and plan on trying Coral and Rich Red. Thank you!
