Bright and bold colors

[queenkaty34]

I'm a lipstick junkie and have been playing with lots of bolder colors but have been struggling to find brands that have colors that I'm looking for. Anyone have any emerald green's or navy blues or deep purples they are in love with?

Hi @queenkaty34 , fellow lipstick junkie here—and you’re speaking my “bright bold colors” language! I did some swatches for you. These are all bullet lipsticks in various price ranges. If you’re looking for liquid mattes, I can give you some recommendations there as well. 

Bullet lipstick swatches of greens, blues, and deeper purples.

Swatches: 

1. Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Mattemoiselle Plush Matte Lipstick Midnight Wasabi
2. SEPHORA COLLECTION - #LIPSTORIES - 47 Cash Money (cream finish)
3. GUERLAIN - Rouge G Customizable Lipstick in shade No. 111 (discontinued shade, but you might be able to find it somewhere) 
4. BITE BEAUTY - Amuse Bouche Lipstick in Kale 
5. MAKE UP FOR EVER - Artist Rouge Lipstick - C603
6. URBAN DECAY - Vice Lipstick (Comfort Matte) in Heroine 
7. ColourPop Matte Lux in JV 
8. Fenty Mattemoiselle in Turks & Caicos 
9. ColourPop Creme Lux in Getty 
10. MAC Matte in Matte Royal 
11. MAC Liptensity in Hellebore (another discontinued shade) 
12. MUFE Artist Rouge Creme in C505 (my closest Hellebore dupe) 
13. NARS Audacious in Nancy (from last year’s “Spiked” collection) 
14. MAC Satin in Cyber 
15. PAT MCGRATH LABS - MatteTrance™ Lipstick - Deep Void 210

I have some new-to-me Illamasqua lipsticks arriving soon, and one of those might also be right up your alley.

@queenkaty34  Try SEPHORA COLLECTION - #LIPSTORIES I have quite a bit of their cream lipsticks and they are so nice.  They're not that bad at $8.  They have it in emerald and deep navy blue.
