Tarte Tarteist Quick Dry Matte Lip Paint Now Comes in 20 Shades (Update)

UPDATE (5:25 p.m.): Have you had time to try out of one of the new Tarte Tarteist Quick Dry Matte Lip Paint shades yet? If not, that's totally OK because you now have a wider selection to chose from. (And I don't blame you, the liquid lipstick was just released last week.) On top of the original ten shades, Tarte launched ten additional ones yesterday. The company announced the newest shades on Instagram and included swatches of each in their Story. I'm living for Friyay (a plum) and Wannabe (a rich, true brown). There's also a couple nudes, red, and browns to choose from in the second round of shades. (That said, Acid Wash from the first round is still my absolute favorite.) Now that you have all these choices, which one will you choose?

If you thought the Tarte Tarteist Lip Paints were everything you've ever wanted in a liquid lipstick, I'm about to change your mind. The Tarte Tarteist Quick Dry Matte Lip Paint launched today, and it's the standard lip paint's slicker sister. It has the same velvety, non-drying formula and intense color payoff that we all love about the original lip paints but dries down faster than you can say Tarte Tarteist Lip Paints. (In fact, the only slow thing about the new lip paints is saying the name ten times fast. But I digress.) Jen Crimmins, one of Tarte's brand ambassadors who is also known as @jentarte, tested out the new liquid lipstick on the brand's Instagram Story, and it really does dry lickety-split. After applying one coat and counting to ten, she pressed her lips onto a white napkin, and the lipstick didn't transfer or move.

Welcoming the new lipstick into our hearts may take longer than ten seconds, but knowing how fast these babies dry has my arms wide open, ready to accept them into my beauty routine. I loved the OG creamy matte lip paints, too. They have the perfect opacity that you can't get from, say, their . Admittedly, I'm quite territorial over TBT, a mauve shade that really does look good on everyone. My mom saw it on my vanity one day when she was visiting and asked if she could have it. I've never said no to her so quickly (or honestly, so rudely—sorry, Mom) in my whole life. However, the original Tarte liquid lipsticks don't completely dry down, so they have a time and place, like if you aren't planning on reuniting with a long-lost lover, drinking a matcha latte, or eating an ice cream sundae.

The Tarte Tarteist Quick Dry Matte Lip Paint comes in ten shades, ranging from the lightest, Salty (a pinky nude), to the darkest, Acid Wash (a black cherry). All shades are available now on tartecosmetics.com for $20 each.

As for my first pick? I'm going for Delish because it looks like the closest shade to my beloved TBT. Head's up, Mom.
