Hi BIC!
A lot of us have talked about our huge lipstick collections, and with the passing of another National Lipstick Day, I took stock of mine. I have about 200 lipsticks and glosses and realized, I only wear about 20 of them! So I'm challenging myself (and whoever else wants to join) to use more of them. I'm going to try to wear a different lipstick every day for the next 100 days.
It’s so pretty and shiny, @RGbrown! I wish there was a more comfy blue liquid matte I could recommend, knowing how you feel about mattes. Unfortunately, my 2 favorite liquid matte formulas have no blue shades. But this one looks good on you!
@WinglessOneUnidentified
By the way, what are your favorite liquid mattes?
@WinglessOneUnidentified
Yeah, sadly, most liquid mattes are out for me. After wearing this one today, I have to say I'm not a huge fan of the formula, but it wasn't the worst liquid I've used, and I will hang on to this because it is completely unique in my collection and I can handle it every now and again. I might get brave and venture more into blue with some sticks at some point, but it's still a bit outside my comfort zone lol. 😋
(I do have one other blue, but it's much lighter. From the Lorac POTC collection. Will have to try it again soon...I really don't even remember how it looks lol)
Is your other blue this Lorac one, @RGbrown? It’s been in my limbo box and you just inspired me to go try it on. 🙂 This is the solid lipstick, with a quick and dirty (and not all that great, honestly... I rushed it) ombré of my good friend Blue Beat. Because this Lorac blue on its own is too pastel for me.
And that was before I used the gloss end, which shines things up:
My favorite liquid mattes are MUFE Artist Liquid Mattes and NARS Powermattes. All other liquid matte formulas are too dry for me—and I always wear both lip balm and lip primer under liquid mattes, including MUFE and NARS. On me, the MUFE mattes feel more comfy than the NARS mattes. But both are more comfy than any others. However, if you’re very sensitive to any kind of drying sensation, you’ll still feel some of that with the MUFEs. There’s no total escape from it, unfortunately.
The absolute worst (most drying) liquid mattes I’ve ever worn were by NYX, ABH, and Lime Crime. The 2 Lime Crimes I tried felt so bad, I spent the next couple of days rehydrating my lips. Props to whoever can wear those longer than 30 minutes with no discomfort.
@WinglessOneUnidentified
Yes, that's the one! I vaguely remember trying it and thinking it was too pastel for me as well. That second pic though...it looks phenomenal on you! But...I hear ya on the too much work factor...I really don't want to be forced to take several steps to "make it work". If it's no good by itself, there's a high chance I'll never use it.
I have a couple of Powermattes...they'll be working their way into my tests at some point, but I do recall liking them a good bit, so I haven't been too worried about losing them lol. I havent tried MUFE...may have to give it a shot one day.
I think the only other tested keeper I have is a Smashbox Always On matte metallic...it's not bad for a matte, and the color is amazing. It won't be a daily driver, but it'll be one I'm willing to endure every now and again.
I decluttered all of my NYX Liquid Suede and ABH too. All I have in Lime Crime is a glitter topper that I should probably test at some point; really can't recall any feelings on it one way or another, other than that's just one more step that I just don't feel like bothering with most of the time anyways 😂 😂 😂
I'll have to double check again (I always miss something), but I think the only other liquid mattes I have left to test (besides NARS) are some Ulta metallics I picked up last year. I remember loving them to death and wearing them a good bit, so I kinda hope I don't hate them now.
It’s. So. Shiny. 👀👀😎. Dang that those shimmer veils make me react. You must wear this at least once a month! New rule. @RGbrown
@heartsmyfaceUnidentified
Yas, so shiny! That's it's best feature 😋 not sure I can steel myself for once a month though lol
@RGbrown Whoa this is fun! I think you can definitely find a time/place for this even if you don’t think it’s appropriate for everyday wear.
@alexastephUnidentified
I will definitely have to come up with a look around this. The eyes will probably have to be more subtle than I usually wind up with 😂
@blackkitty2014Unidentified
Aw shucks, thanks so much 💙💙💙
Nice collage of beautiful lipstick shades! It would be cool to know their names. 🙂
Haha! Sorry I forgot to write the brand and colours🤣
@TrexVeena loving this lippie collage! 😍💋💄
I love all of these shades on you @TrexVeena ! If you had to pick one favorite, which is it?
@Mcakes That’s such a cruel question. Waiting for an answer though:)
