Tarte Tartetist Naughty Nudes Creamy Matte Lip Paint

The 90’s called and so did Eddie Vedder apparently they want their lipstick shades back! The Tarte Tartetist Naughty Nudes Creamy Matte Lip Paint is a new selection of Tarte Tartetist Creamy Matte Lip Paint available in a selection of nude browns that my teenage self would have happily worn to my first Pearl Jam concert.

I was 16 when I first saw Eddie Vedder perform and have since seen him many times after but the time that sticks in my mind the most was that first Pearl Jam concert. I actually didn’t sport a brown lipstick shade at that concert because we didn’t have an incredible line up to choose from like these new shades from Tarte. Hell, Tarte doesn’t even remember the 90’s all that well as they are just baby having launched in 1999! So, they really did miss the informative years of the 90’s but it’s ok, they’ve gifted us with five shades of well researched brown liquid lipsticks that should bring the era back for you.

But the one thing I ask is, am I that old that grunge is considered vintage now!?

Tarte Tartetist Naughty Nudes Creamy Matte Lip Paint are $20 each and include the following five shades:

  • Choker (warm brown)
  • Rave (greige)
  • Grunge (dark brown)
  • Crop Top (mauve brown)
  • Brownie (brown)

Tarte Tarteist Lip Paint originally launched in 14 shades with the Tarte Spring 2016 Collection. Since that time Tarte has also done a line of Tarte Tarteist Glossy Lip Paint as well as these new Naughty Nudes Lip Paints.

The original launch gained mixed reviews but I actually loved them. These aren’t a traditional all day liquid lipstick and I’m fine with this as I don’t need nor want my lipstick to wear for 24 hours. They are easy to wear, lightweight, and easy to remove plus they don’t dry my lips out which is a plus.

Needless to say Tarte packs them with intense pigment and a single swipe yields opaque color with a wear of around five to six hours on my lips. I find they apply easily with a velvety cream texture that hugs lips in comfortable color without adhering to drier skin. I find the consistency super creamy and slightly whipped in texture. They set to a smooth, matte finish without falling into my natural lip lines. I had no issues with migration of feathering nor did they dry out or become flaky through the wear plus they wipe away easily which as I mentioned above is fine by me. They do have some transfer issues if you’re drinking from a cup or sipping through a straw but I don’t really mind that in the least. As with all Tarte lip products they have a pleasant mint flavor and fragrance.

The colors are pretty bold and might be difficult to pull off. I thought they might look best on a darker skin tone than my own but I still had a freaking hell of a fun time trying them all on. But I question whether I’d be brave enough to wear them out and about! Some people can rock brown, greige, and tan lips like nobody’s business and although only available in five shades these are likely some of the most unique selection you’ll come across especially for Fall looks.

As we near Fall, I think we’ll see plenty more brown based lipsticks but Tarte gets an early start on the season with this selection of pigmented, comfortable to wear and easy to apply Naughty Nudes Creamy Matte Lip Paints. They are well worth exploring for those who like daring lip colors.

Don’t forget Tarte has 30% off this week during their Friends and Family Event using code FNF!

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.

    OMG I love love love Eddie Vedder! But I’m NOT wearing brown lipstick ever again. There’s a saying I heard that if you’re old enough to remember a trend in its previous incarnation, you’re too old to wear it this go-round. I personally have found that to be rather sound advice.

    • Isabella Muse

      LOL! 😀 I think I’m too fair for these but I had a damn fab time trying them on and relieving the grunge years!

    • Sjofna

      Haha! Christina D- I’ve heard that advice too, and also follow it.

      Muse- that smokey eye in your photos looks really great on you.

  • Jules

    Omg. I had this shade called poetic brown that I wore like a MOFO. Pretty sure I was inspired by Drew Barrymore cuz she’s one day younger than me, so of course I LOVED HER. I’m not entirely certain if I can do it now, tho…. So, side note, a radio station here that called itself “new rock” but still played grunge just changed to R&B… My first comment was, I guess Pearl Jam is no longer new. Sigh. I remember those early 90s arguments w my then bf about who was the best grunge band, sound garden or Alice in chains. Um, Chris Cornell??? Why is this even debatable????

    • Isabella Muse

      Jules, I feel old because I can’t even believe Pearl Jam is vintage rock lol! Oh sound garden, those were the days….! ;-D

      • Agona

        Hahaha, I felt so awkward back then–I thought maybe I had poor fashion and beauty sense–but now when I look back at historical 90s makeup YouTube videos or watch 90s shows/movies, I realize…it wasn’t just me being an awkward teenager–the 90s was full of weird fashion and beauty trends. 🙂

        • Isabella Muse

          Not at all! ;-D The 90’s def had some interesting stuff going on haha!

  • Allie

    You look really good in Brownie. Just a simple black eyeliner and that would look excellent on you for fall.

  • Sharon Bryan

    I have to say, Muse, I really like these colors on you. I’m a first time commenter but I’ve been following you for years and I just had to let you know that you look great in Browns imho.

    • Isabella Muse

      Thanks Sharon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3! For being a long time reader and for making me feel great about wearing these 😀

  • ruth

    now you need your baby doll dress and plastic stretchy choker!

    the radio station that supposed to be for classic rock has been playing: Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters, Green Day, STP, and so many others. it just kills me! we are not old enough for our music to be on the oldies station!

    • Isabella Muse

      and thigh highs! lol! RIGHT? Jeez I don’t associate the 90’s with vintage rock at all!

  • RZ

    I think that you mislabeled the shades under the first photo. It looks like it should be: Rave, Brownie, Choker, Crop Top, and Grunge.
