Pat McGrath Dramatique Mega Lip Pencil


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

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’t transfer to my teeth at all. They’re 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.

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’t tried the MAC Prep + Prime Lip Primer 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.

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’s a clear difference in undertone. The darker shades will stain the lips but the lip primer is really good in preventing the staining.

  • Nude Venus is a light cool nude pink
  • Coralust is a neutral peachy pink
  • Divine Rose is a warm mauve rose
  • Naked Seduction is a warm dusty rose
  • Nude Oasis is a warm brown rose
  • Flesh3 is a mahogany rose brown
  • Garnet Glow is a deeper wine shade
  • Belle Amour is a cool-toned berry with some fuchsia vibes (this color looks like it’s only available at Pat McGrath online, I like the Lip Fetish Balm color version of Belle Amour a lot more)
  • OBSESSED! is an electric bold orange red

Overall love. I’m usually not a fan of matte lips but I like the colors and lasting power of these shades. I would say my top 3 are Coralust, Nude Seduction and Divine Rose.
