Hold on to your keyboards… my excitement for the MAKE UP FOR EVER Artist Acrylips is REAL. These acrylic paint inspired lipsticks are a thing of beauty!

High in pigment, easy to apply and chockful of colour… the Acrylips are a wonderful addition to MUFE‘s range of products. As many of you may be aware, I am extremely obsessed with the Too Faced Melted lipsticks and these are not only on par with those… but I think they may actually be a smidge better. Oh my god… did I actually say that???

Let’s get down to business. The Acrylips are a squeeze tube format with a slotted doefoot applicator. The products comes out of the doefoot and makes for extremely easy application. I especially love this style of product because I am known for constantly breaking my lipstick bullets in half and there’s ZERO chance of me doing that with these.

These are a liquid lipstick without that horrible dry paint feeling that you get with matte liquid lipsticks. They glide on smooth and glossy, but will eventually dry down to a more satin-like finish over the course of thirty minutes or so. Pigmentation stats strong while the dry down occurs, so you needn’t worry about reapplication any time soon.

The colours I chose to review are bold vibrant shades that scream my name. All three colours had incredible pigmentation. They were opaque in a single swipe and there was no “wateryness” that can sometimes occur with a liquid lipstick pigment like this.

On the lips, they do not feel dissimilar to the Too Faced Melteds, if anything, I’d say these settle down to a more satin finish a little bit faster (which is a good thing in my opinion). They are comfortable to wear, and best of all, the pigmentation stays incredibly strong for many hours (I didn’t clock it for total length, but I didn’t have to reapply any within the four hours I would wear these).

MAKE UP FOR EVER Artist Acrylip Lip Swatches

This is MY SHADE. A pinkish coral with a neon vibrancy to it, 202 Coral Pink is wonderful!

And who can turn down a Raspberry Red (401) shade??

And lastly, Lilac (500) is a pink-tinged purple that was far more pigmented than I was expecting given that I find brands seem to struggle with this kind of shade.

Final Thoughts

I think it’s obvious that I’m in love with these. From the packaging, to the vibrant colours (there are no neutrals… yet!) to the comfort of these on your lips, the MAKE UP FOR EVER Artist Acrylips are a wonderful addition to their range. I like that MUFE chose to play on the theme of paint since the texture of these is incredibly similar to acrylic paint. It just makes the pairing so wonderful since MUFE is one of the brands I always admire from an artistic standpoint when they’re showcasing their work (for example, at IMATS). If you like the vibrant shade range, definitely consider grabbing one of these – I’m personally in love with them and I hope you will be too!
