Answer

Matte Liquid Lipstick Texture Analysis

This formula is designed to be a liquid that dries down to a matte, transfer-resistant film.

  • Initial Feel: With 20% Isododecane, the formula will likely feel very lightweight and spread easily upon application. Isododecane is a volatile solvent that evaporates quickly.
  • Drying Process: As the Isododecane evaporates, the film-forming polymer (Hydrogenated Polycyclopentadiene at 24%) will create a durable layer on the lips. This high percentage of film former is a key component for achieving a long-wearing, transfer-proof finish.
  • Final Texture: The combination of the high percentage of solid powders (Silk Mica Powder at 24% and EasyMix Color at 25%) along with the film former and Microcrystalline Wax (7%) will result in a very matte finish. The texture will likely feel dry to the touch once set, which is typical for highly matte and long-wearing liquid lipsticks. The high solid content contributes significantly to the opacity and the matte appearance.

In summary, expect a formula that applies smoothly, dries quickly, and leaves a strong, matte, and potentially dry film on the lips.

Regarding the stock availability of Isododecane, I am unable to check current stock levels. Please check the website directly for product availability.
