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.
I like every single one of them @WinglessOne 🤩 I need help
@2manyperfumes Haha, you need help? I’m the one who owns them all! 🤪 I need to do another declutter pass on all my pinks (from nude to shockingly bright) soon.
Here’s the full shade list:
@WinglessOne Ooooooooh those are all pretty, thank you! I have two NARS Audacious already, so Deborah might be first on my list. Somehow I've *never* tried a MAC lipstick - the horror! I guess it's time to go play 🙂
Do you find the PMG MatteTrance line to be comfortable, or do you think I should stick to the LuxeTrance? I haven't tried either yet.
@tastelikewater My MatteTrances are all comfy on me. I do prefer LuxeTrance in terms of comfort, but that’s because I generally like the feel of creams more than mattes. But the MatteTrance formula isn’t drying at all on me. It feels cushy and velvety soft on my lips. I can very comfortably wear a MatteTrance all day. Some folks think MatteTrance is more comfy than LuxeTrance.
I wish PMG had a mini duo that included a MatteTrance and a LuxeTrance. That’d be a perfect intro of both formulas. There are no LuxeTrance minis, unfortunately, but the MatteTrance mini trios are still available; they’re a good way to try that formula. You could always wander down to the Michigan Ave store and swatch a few LuxeTrance and MatteTrance bullets to get a feel for them. 🙂
While you’re in that neighborhood, swing by the standalone MAC store or the Ulta down the street to swatch a few MAC bullets. It’s just not right to have lived your whole life without trying a MAC lipstick! 😮 We gotta fix that! I do like NARS Audacious more than the MAC Satin formula, and even more than the MAC Amplified formula (but not more than Liptensity), but still: they’re worth trying. I like the new MAC Love Me bullets but won’t buy any because they’re not strongly pigmented enough for me. They feel super comfy, though.
Both beautiful shades @tastelikewater 🧡, combine them for a third shade. Darker as your base with the warmer one in the center blended out slightly. I don’t know how I haven’t done all brown shade swatches but I guess I will have too. These medium tone browns are a good starting point. Doesn’t have to be this brand but the second one has more red undertones that probably suit your skin tone best.
@2manyperfumes Both of them are very pretty, thank you! I'll give your tip a try and see how it works 🙂
These shades are beautiful on you @tastelikewater . Cocoa is my favorite on you.
@thatjedininja Thank you! It's one of my favorite formulas. I'm looking to branch out into more browns.
@thatjedininja Wow those nudes look so pretty on you.
@thatjedininja These are both lovely!
Asking me for my favorite cream formula is kinda like asking me to pick a favorite child. I’ll try to keep this list brief:
Well, so much for “brief.” 😂 There are just so many great cream lipsticks out there!
@WinglessOne Thank you for this list!! I know I can count on the lippy experts in this thread.
Beautiful nude @thatjedininja 🧡 I’m sporting one today too lol. I love the Bite Amuse Bouche liquid lipsticks and the Huda Demi-mattes for comfort. Dose of Colors shade Cork is another. I like the NYX suede lipsticks in bullet form for comfort too.
@2manyperfumes I'll have to try those!!! thanks for the tip
Today I tried a new liquid lipstick called Pure Hollywood from ABH. I used some NYX butter gloss because I find the formula a bit on the dry side, yet I bought it anyway because I loved the shade. Glad I bought it. With the butter gloss it was fine all day long, lasted well into the evening and wasn’t dry. Now I wish I bought the second nude called Stripped.
Pure Hollywood is lovely! Great shade!
