Weird that Allure can put chemist here but not on the videos with Javon who is also a cosmetic chemist, despite half the comment sections on Javon's videos being the audience stating they want Allure to put his title.

I've bought a lot of different lipsticks throughout the past 10 years, and although expensive doesn't automatically mean better, I haven't found a lupstick better than the ines I use now, and they're like... $35 on sale

@lollsazz Жыл бұрын

@@totesflaisch My favorite line is the Sensai Intense Lasting Lipsticks. They are very hydrating (I use them daily in the winter, living in the North), but don't slip around or bleed. Most of them are also quite buildable: sheer if swiped once or twice, and full coverage after 2-3 swipes. Leave behind a nice, light stain that can be removed easily using makeup remover :)

SATIN FINISH LIPSTICK: Sample A ($34): Pretty sure this is a Laura Mercier Rouge Essentiel Silky Cream Lipstick. Sample B ($9): Pretty sure this is an ULTA Beauty Collection Luxe Lipstick. MOUSSE LIP CREAM: Sample A is NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream ($6.50) Sample B is MAC Powder Kiss Liquid Lipcolour ($26) MATTE LIQUID LIPSTICK: Sample A is Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lipstick ($20) Sample B is NYX Professional Makeup Lip Lingerie XXL Matte Liquid Lipstick ($10) GLOSS FINISH LIPSTICK: Sample A is Dior Addict Refillable Shine Lipstick ($42) Sample B is Urban Decay Vice Hydrating Lipstick in the high shine finish ($19). L’Oreal Paris Colour Riche Shine Lipstick is a very similar product. CLASSIC RED LIPSTICK: Sample A ($8): This is NYX Suede Matte Lipstick in Spicy. Sample B ($21): Likely MAC Retro Matte Lipstick. Agree with other comment that it looks like Ruby Woo. Edited to add that identification made off ingredient lists when possible. It's unfortunate that Allure didn't fully blind the packaging of solid lipsticks but this did help finding products when ingredients weren't given. Additional edit to correct the Urban Decay product.

This is so interesting to watch as a makeup artist. I personally splurge on lip products for my more mature clients and those looking for unique colors.
