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.
@divaknits Spice Girl looks stellar on you! Is that the matte or demi matte formula?
Thanks @sprocketta! I think it’s the liquid matte formula, however it feels so comfortable. I was pleasantly surprised at how it didn’t feel dry.
Thanks @WinglessOne ! Seems like I’ve got a lot of these in my collection. Must have some kind of love for them along with my reds. Now that I think about it, I only have a few wild cards, but I love them just as much.
Oh I like this combo a lot!!!! Very pretty!!! @divaknits
My NARS order arrived and I finally have the Spiked Audacious shade I really wanted. Yay! Had to try on both new shades tonight: NARS Spiked Audacious in Nancy and NARS Connor Tingley Audacious in Madura. As with all Audacious bullets, these are pigmented and creamy comfy. Madura’s a bit patchy/streaky though: took a bit of effort to get an even coat without creating streaks.
“Wait, those are the same color!” No they’re not! Nancy has a bluer/cooler base. Madura’s more like a darker version of Audacious Liv. If you’re familiar with MAC Cyber, Nancy’s a darker version of that. And none of those shades are darker than PMG Deep Void.
Considering I’ve ditched a few other deep dark purple and plum shades during my lipstick declutter, I’m okay with owning all of these—though I’m on the fence about Madura. Liv’s an easier application. Just realized I left out Bite Matte Cream Lip Crayon in Black Truffle... pretty sure I’ve worn that for this challenge. Not sure I’ve worn Cyber, though. (Note to self.)
Thanks for the swatches, @Ispend2much6 ! I have Jezebel and Hypnotique, but not Pourpre. I’ll have to try finding that one. 🙂 Lancôme also has a new L’Absolu Rouge in a shade called Black Dragon that looks right up my alley... though I really don’t need another very dark blue-based purple... buuuuut I wanna see it in person anyway. 😄
@WinglessOne I'll bet Jezebel looks stunning on you. You're welcome!
@WinglessOne This is so pretty on you! I have said it before but your skin is so beautiful!
Best,
Rebecca
About telling colors apart: if you’ve never taken the Farnsworth-Munsell 100 Hue Test, try it sometime. It’s one of a few industry standard color blindness tests. There used to be a free version online, but now all I can find is an abbreviated 40 hue version. Can’t link to it because it’s on retailers’ sites. But if you ask Google for “color iq test,” it’ll come up in the first few results—obviously not Sephora’s “color IQ test.” Or you can search for the full name of the test.
I’ve taken the full 100 hue test twice; last time was at work. It’s often the bar of purples that give folks trouble, even those of us who see color variations very clearly. Still, I got a perfect score both times. My vision might be blurrier than it used to be, but apparently I can still tell colors apart. 😄
You look stunning in those shades - most lipsticks are beautiful on you @WinglessOne but something about these tones just are 10/10. Wow 👍. 1 and 3 have a lovely red undertone that’s striking as well. They are all keepers in my opinion. 🥰
Favourite is 3 with 1 close by ❤️ They all look good but 3 is the bomb
