Urban Decay Backtalk Vice Lipstick ($18) is a creamy, medium-toned pinky mauve with a satin finish. It’s fairly neutral in undertone. Once applied, it appears more cool-toned (the purple comes out), but not overly so. I wouldn’t describe it as a bold color, nor would I describe it as a natural/nude. It’s somewhere in between […]

Chanel Surprenante Rouge Allure Lipstick Chanel Surprenante Rouge Allure Lipstick ($35) is a vibrant, medium watermelon pink. It has a little bit of a frost and shimmer to it, but it’s pretty subtle, and actually looks matte on my lips in low lighting. I’m not really a fan of frost, but it’s subtle enough where […]

Maybelline Hot Plum Color Sensational Vivids Lip Color Maybelline Hot Plum Color Sensational Vivids Lip Color ($6) is a vibrant fuchsia pink with a creamy, balm-like finish.
