I recently(ish) tried Pat McGrath lipstick for the first time, and was really impressed by Matte Trance. The color was really saturated after only one or two swipes, and the formula stays forever but is comfortable to wear.

I bought the color “Venus in Furs” (which admittedly feels very much like something I would have loved in the browny/taupe lipstick era of the early late 90s/early 2000s) — and think I’ll go for a brighter color the next time I buy a tube, such as the beautiful blue-red pictured here (“Elson 13”).

(The tube and the box it comes in are also really beautiful and lux — it’s a great gift if you’re on the hunt for anyone because it does feel special.)

Sephora has 28 colors, for $38 a tube; you can see more colors (35 total) at Pat McGrath’s website.
