Beauty Too Faced Melted Guide: Formula, Shades, and How to Wear
An educational guide from the Beauty AMZ research team. No hard sell, just what you need to know.
The History of Melted Lipstick
Too Faced launched Melted as a new lip category years ago. The idea was simple. Melt down a lipstick into a liquid with gloss shine. The line won beauty awards and built a loyal following. Melted Peony became the breakout shade. The concept influenced the whole liquid lipstick boom. Today the line keeps selling on the strength of its comfortable wear.
Liquified vs Liquid Matte
Liquified lipsticks stay glossy and comfortable. Liquid mattes dry down flat and last longer. Liquified formulas need reapplication after meals. Liquid mattes survive meals but can dry lips. Your choice depends on comfort versus longevity. Dry lipped buyers usually prefer liquified formulas. Long day buyers usually prefer liquid mattes. Neither is better, they solve different problems.
The Too Faced Scent Question
Too Faced products carry a sweet vanilla like scent. Fans call it the signature Too Faced smell. Sensitive buyers sometimes find it strong. The scent fades within minutes of application. If fragrance bothers you, test in store first. The scent comes from flavoring, not the pigment. It does not affect wear or color.
Shade Matching Tips
Pink shades like Melted Peony suit cool and neutral undertones. Warm undertones may prefer coral Melted shades. Test on the lips, not the hand, because lip pigment changes the color. Daylight gives the truest read. Take a selfie in natural light before deciding. Keep the receipt until you test the shade at home.
Storage and Shelf Life
Store liquid lipsticks upright in a cool spot. Heat thins the formula and shortens wear. Toss the tube after 12 months of opening. A sour smell means the formula turned. Wipe the applicator rim clean to stop product buildup. Good storage keeps the texture smooth to the last drop.

Pink and Your Teeth: The Full Undertone Breakdown
Pink lipstick changes how teeth look more than any other color family, and the undertone mechanics are specific. Blue-based pinks, the cool fuchsias and blue-roses, make teeth look whiter by contrast; the cool tone neutralizes yellow in the teeth optically. This is the most reliable teeth-whitening trick in makeup. Warm pinks with orange or coral bases do the opposite, emphasizing yellow tones in teeth and making them look duller. Purple-leaning pinks are the worst offenders for teeth, casting a yellow shadow that no whitening toothpaste counteracts while wearing them. The practical buying rule: if tooth appearance matters to you, test pink shades with a smile check in daylight, comparing the tooth look across undertones. Nude-pinks are neutral territory, neither whitening nor yellowing significantly. The finish modifies the effect slightly; glossy pinks reflect light onto the teeth and soften the undertone impact, while matte pinks present the undertone starkly. This is a major buyer concern for pink specifically, since pink is the color most worn in professional settings where tooth appearance matters. When in doubt between two pinks, the cooler one is the safer tooth choice. For the iconic nude-pink that flatters widely, our Pillow Talk guide covers wearing the famous shade.
Pink Staining: Which Formulas Stain and How to Remove It
Berry, fuchsia, and magenta pinks stain the lips, and the staining behavior splits by formula. Traditional bullet lipsticks in deep pinks leave a residual tint after removal; the stain is usually a softer version of the shade and many wearers enjoy it as a natural flush. Liquid lipsticks, including melted formulas, stain more intensely because the liquid vehicle drives pigment deeper into the lip tissue. Lip tints stain by design; the stain is the product. The removal method for unwanted staining: an oil-based cleanser massaged for a full minute dissolves surface pigment, and what remains is the true stain. A gentle lip scrub used occasionally lifts staining faster, but daily scrubbing irritates. The practical consideration is next-day color: residual pink staining shifts the shade of whatever you apply next, usually warming it. If you wear different lip colors daily, remove pink staining fully before switching families, or the red you apply over yesterday's fuchsia stain turns unexpectedly warm. Sleeping in an occlusive balm after removal helps lift the last of the stain overnight. For understanding stain technology as its own category, our lip tints guide explains types, application, and pro techniques.
