Smashbox MegaTint Long Wear Lip Color Review & Swatches

Smashbox MegaTint Long Wear Lip Color Punch

Smashbox Megatint Long Wear Lip Color where have you been all my young life? You’re so lightweight, so refreshing, you’re like an ice cold drink on a hot desert island. Are you a lip balm? A lipstick? A cross between the two? All I know is I love you so!

Smashbox Megatint Long Wear Lip Color ($20), say that three times, is a new long wearing lip tint that conditions lips and provides an extreme long wear.

This slim line lipstick provides excellent color coverage with a full opaque finish in a conditioning tinted formula. It’s not quite a balm nor is it a full lipstick but something the mad scientists at Smashbox Studios created that resembles the two but also has a formula all its own.

Smashbox MegaTint Long Wear Lip Color Swatches

Punch

This has a soft, glide-able texture that provides excellent pigmentation on a single stroke. It’s virtually weightless on my mouth and gives a bare lip finish. The cool, refreshing feel of it as I apply it is rather charming! Who knew that a lip product could be so refreshing!? I think of it as a lip tint on crack…! It has the texture of a nice little lip tint but the full color coverage of a lipstick! The finish has a high seen but the texture has a satin-y sorta of semi matte feel but a comfortable one, don’t let that matte word scare you away!

It wears for a good solid, swear to god how the hell does it do that, six hours! And well into hour eight my lips are left with a delightful stain that gradually fades a few hours after.

About the Muse

Isabella MuseIsabella is just an average everyday geeky girl who doesn’t blend her eyeshadow correctly, wears too much blush, and hopes she never finds her holy grail products because she likes the thrill of the chase so much. Her mission is to bring you super honest reviews on makeup, skincare, fragrance and all things beauty. She’s in no way an expert on the topic and she sure as hell isn’t a super model. But she’s passionate about makeup and is seeking like-minded individuals that like pina coladas, getting caught in the rain, and ones that enjoy spending hundreds of dollars at Sephora without feeling buyer’s remorse.

    Gorgeous! I must have this! I couldn’t find the name of the color you’re wearing in this review though – is this “pink”? Thanks for the review – I don’t tend to go for the long wear lip stuff cause they dry my lips out, but this looks perfect!

    • the Muse

      punch heather 🙂 if you hold your mouse over the photo it’ll tell you the name 😀 (so long as you aren’t viewing on a tablet) my pleasure! 🙂

  • Laura H.

  • Shadia

    AAAAAAAAAARGH. This looks incredible! Who doesn’t like lightweight, long-wearing lip products?! Must…buy…all…colors!

  • Swarnali B

    I so badly want this! It looks so pretty! which online stores do you think have it? 🙂

    • the Muse

      hi hun everyone does at the moment sephora.com ulta.com 🙂 or directly from smashbox 🙂

  • Vanessa

    I’m surprised to see there’s a shine to it on your lips and the swatch. Whenever I see the testers at Sephora, the lippies and the lip photos look so matte that I just pass on them. Maybe this time it’s worth a second look…

  • Stacy

    Oh Muse, this color was made for you!! Really Really pretty on you! Perfect for Spring!!
    Love it!! Thinking about getting it for myself!!

    • the Muse

      aw thanks stacy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😀 I hope you try, they are awesome!

  • Deb

    Hi Muse,
    I too have passed on these because terms like long-wearing and stain usually equal dry your lips to the point of no return. How was the drying effect after several hours of wear? Or did they dry out your lips at all?

  • Lilo

    Hi there, you’re website is really thorough. I love how its so easy to search for brands and its a very clean layout. I have a question, hope you can help me out, I’ve been searching endlessly for a matte red fiery lipstick that lasts long and doesn’t smudge(similar to what you see the Kardashians wearing, Kim and Khloe are always sporting red matte lips). What I mean is that, do you know of any lipsticks that don’t come off when you sip on a cup or a straw? Nothing is more annoying to me than seeing the residue of your lip products stuck on a straw or when you’re sipping on a cup. Lots of lipsticks claim they are long lasting and for long wear but I find that they really do smudge and come off… is there anything out there that doesn’t budge at all?? Please help. thanks, greatly appreciated.

    • the Muse

      aw thanks I LOVE hearing that lilo! have you tried Make Up For Ever’s Aqua Rouge? It’s quite incredible 🙂 review here. and also summer shades here.

      • Lilo

        Thanks. You are so sweet. Thanks for the speedy reply. Most of these beauty websites and youtube beauty gurus never ever reply back to comments or questions(because they’re so famous & busy I guess??). You’re wonderful. I’ll definitely check out your other reviews.

        • the Muse

          hey lilo! my pleasure!!!!!!!!!!! aw sorry to hear that they are prob way busy! Sometimes I get backed up with comments too! 😀 I hope these help! Look at the front page, today I posted about Sephora’s new vinyl lip creams that also look VERY nice haven’t tried them myself though! 🙂

  • Justine

    Hey there, great review! I was wondering if you know a dupe for it?
