Question
How do you apply this?
Is it more like a lip stick consistency or is it a a liquid that instantly absorbs into the lips like Benetint? Do you have to wait a while before it sets?

To apply the product, gently glide it onto your lips. You can also blot the color onto your lips.

The best way I can think to describe the consistency is similar to a lip liner- a kind of dry, crayon-like feel. There is no liquid to it, but it still glides on easily and evenly.

One thing I appreciate about this stain is that it applies a lot like lip stick, not like a liquid stain. For this reason, it probably doesn't last as long as some people would like a stain to last. I personally love the creaminess feel though and it truly does stay on longer than a regular lip stick or gloss.

Its in between the two, It takes a sec to set but its more like a stain with mositure it does not dry your lips out like benitint does, Better way better than the Revlon Just Bitten Lip Stain pens with the balm on the end, those seem to remove the color, This is a very good Tarte product, treu to advertizing. Guess its all what you prefer but it only takes a sec for great lips

It's way better than lipstick or lip gloss... it goes on smooth with just the right amount of moisture, not gloppy like lip glosses. It is not a liquid at all, it's like a crayon which is super easy to apply any time without looking in the mirror. No setting time necessary either. Don't have to worry about precision when applying. It's like a lip balm with intense color and staying power. I love this stuff! I bought it in Envy color and it's like 3x a natural healthy flesh color :) I use it every single day!

I've found that this stain lasts longest when it's applied on super-clean lips. Ideally, after a shower when you've given your lips a good rub with a nubby washcloth (helps to make your lips nice and smooth).
I've had long lasting results from three of the matte colors, but I prefer the original LipSurgence line - they just seem more moisturizing.

I don't like the non-matte version of this for the very same reason. Envy and Hope really compliments your lips and isn't like Lucky (it's a bright pink color on your lips). I would still try Exposed (Nude) because with my lips, it doesn't look entirely nude on me, it looks a little bit towards warmer brown. Definitely go into Sephora and walk around with the colors on your lips.

If you're looking for nude... I'd try Lucky in the matte version or Joy in the creme version. They're not REALLY nudes, so i guess your boyfriend would be fine with them, but they're close enough that I think you'd like them. If you want matte lip color, lucky is a light pink and it can also be layered over balm to get a glossier look. It's a light enough pink that it would turn out nude-pink on your darker lips (I have the exact same hair/skintone and my lips are pretty dark as well) without making them too pale and weird. Joy is a peach color so it would pretty much do the same thing to your lips, it would add enough color to not wash them out but just enough light color to be kind of a nude look. I own both and I like them, so I'd go with whichever one you think you'd like better!

The nude has a bit of a pinky-mauve hue so if your interested I say try it out. If you bf doesn't like it you could always use it as a primer because it is nude, so long-lasting, & moisturing. I have light, olive-golden skin with dark hair and dark eyes. Although i didn't like the texture of this stain the color payoff of the nude was perfect for me.

The original has a slight gloss to it. The matte version feels dry, but is not drying on me. But it's also not particularly moisturizing either. It's a little strange but I like it. It's like you've dusted a light powder of color on your lips. The only negative is it accentuates dry areas. I use Korres mango SPF 10 on top and it looks awesome.

The original is much more moisturizing then the Matte version. But the matte version still is moisturizing esp for a lip stain that's matte. And of coase the Matte lip stain is MATTE and the original is more glossy/shiny.

answer 10
It's, well, more matte, of course. Both of them kind of accentuate dryness on the lips but really, the colors are the exact same and if you apply this over a lip balm you get the same effect as the creme version. The packaging on this one is rubbery, to give it a matte look, as opposed to the shinier tubes for the originals... one other difference is I think the matte version's colors are just a little more vibrant than the creme version, because the creme version is slightly glossier so it'll be naturally a bit sheerer. So if you want better color pay-off, I'd choose matte, but if you don't want to accentuate dryness on the lips, I'd choose creme.

I think Tarte lip surgence has the color you seek. I think it's called charme. Don't be fooled by the picture. This is a really cool pink (at least on me). When applied it's very moisturizing. When the gloss wears off, it leaves a significant amount of color.

I contacted customer service and they considered the product defective, refunded me the cost and sent out a new one. Fantastic customer service by Sephora. It was easier to open, though a lot of twisting the lid initially was involved. I would love to say this resolved the issue of the black flecks, but they are still in it. They are a lot less prominent, making the product wearable. It seems to be a issue with the mixing and molding of the product, maybe?

Honestly it depends on what kind of fair you are. I happen to be pretty light as well and I go for more pinks and roses, as compared to peaches and such. But its personal preference. I love Lucky and Adored, but I think Glisten and Joy would be really pretty colors on fair skin as well. Look at the natural color of your lips (with no lipstick or gloss on them) and the natural color of your lips tend to tell you which direction to go. if they're really pinky or red go in that direction, but if they're a little more on the neutral side go for a peach or a neutral color. Hope this helped! :)

I have dark red hair, light skin with freckles (not super fair, but medium-light skin tone), dark brown eyes and I use Envy. I think it gives a natural bit of color. Can apply it heavier for night.

Envy is great if you have fair skin and dark hair. I tried out the color after finding out that Kat Dennings wears this shade (she and I have very similar coloring).

It does not need a sharpener (per the product packaging-box), twist the bottom.

I don't think it's supposed to be sharpened because it's too creamy. I twist it up like a lipstick.

My lip stain twists on the bottom but sephora has a great double sharpener it sharpens all my big fat liner.

Question
Suggestions for olive skin tone?
I have an olive skin tone with dark brown eyes and hair. I am looking for a natural look. What do you suggest?

I've personally found both Hope and Exposed to be beautiful colors. Hope is more of a subtle nude, a hint of cocoa in an otherwise soft mauve-y color. Exposed is more of a sheer berry - think Sugar's Lip Treatment in Plum, but less purple and more wine. It looks as though you've applied a lip stain - but because it's matte, it looks more natural and less noticeable.
Hope that helped. :)

I like Pretty Amazing from BareMinerals - not glossy and not lip sticky - works for a natural look. I have to be honest...I found the Tarte matte line is not very 'natural' looking, and if that is what you want it may not be a good fit. I also prefer something lighter looking and the Tarte Matte line colors are really intense. I am a little lighter than you, but also brown hair/eyes. I returned the Tarte I purchased because this has a really bold look to it.

I have the same coloring. I got Hope and love it. Enchanted was fuschia on me - good for 70's disco night. Hope is a nice everyday color.

I have olive skin, dark hair, and brown eyes. I would recommend LipSurgence in natural lip tint in Lust or moody. They seem like dark scary colors, but they turn out very natural and beautiful. Natural Matte lip tint in Envy is a very beautiful color as well. This one is not as sheer as the others, but it's still pretty natural. It's like my lip color but better, and a little darker, which is nice for fall.

The best color for a natural lip is the color "Exposed."

If you are looking for your lip color but better, go with hope. If you are looking for it to stand out a little bit, go with envy. If you can wear a nude and like a nude, go with exposed. I personally am very fair and only the bright pink in the matte really works on me. My mother has the same coloring as you and she loves this matte formula. She mostly uses hope and envy, but occasionally mixes them with exposed. She gets washed out by most nude lip colors, but she can work exposed in with the other two colors to get a similar look that does not wash her out. If you can wear a nude lip, go with exposed and hope.

Definitely try Tarte's lip balm in "Summer Fling" along with Sephora's blush in "Bronze me sensation" :)
