Half Caked Makeup originally launched on Valentine’s Day of 2016 and has since become one of my most-used brands! Their packaging and formulas are said to make you feel some type of way, and I could not agree more! The company generously sent me their best-selling Lip Fondants, and I have swatched and reviewed these irresistible lippies for all of you!
Details
Infused with a delightful light vanilla scent, the Half Caked Lip Fondants deliver opaque (+ kiss-proof!) liquid color that takes you through the day. The lightweight formula dries down to a matte finish that won’t transfer, smudge, or flake.
How to Wear
For best wear (of liquid lipsticks in general), make sure lips are exfoliated & hydrated before application. Apply a thin coat onto lips & allow it to dry down completely. Only add additional layers if necessary. For the longest wear possible, avoid foods with oil.
Shades
The Half Caked Lip Fondants are available in 20 vegan & cruelty-free shades.

Swatches
Swatched above are the shades: ‘Real One’, ‘QT’, ‘Jelly’, and ‘Sweet Tooth’.
Overall Thoughts
I am a huge fan of the formula and staying power of these liquid lipsticks; not to mention the incredible range of shades. A few of my favorites include: ‘Real One’, ‘Creme De Le Creme’, ‘Fan Girl’, and ‘Jelly’!
And lastly, it must be pointed out how ADORABLE the packaging of these & all other products are from Half Caked Makeup! From a marketing perspective, packaging is a huge selling point – and this sister-run brand has brilliantly carved out their own unique aesthetic in the oversaturated market of makeup & beauty.
