Lip Color A few Taupey lipstick and lip liner side by sides!

Thumbnail
gallery
22 Upvotes

Far left: Melt Cosmetics lip liner in I’m Not Complete. I personally love this lip liner formula, not too dry, not too creamy, long lasting, great application. Very cool toned, more grey in it than the MOB, slightly darker than the MOB.

Second from left: MOB Beauty lip liner M159. I do love this lip liner colour, but for me the formula is a bit dry, I find it can wear down in a patchy way on me, and it amplifies imperfections - like dry skin. I have to have something on the lip first to ease application.

Top right: MOB matte lipstick M102. I find it’s hard to perfectly capture the nuance in photos, and of course lip colours look way different on the lips vs hand swatch. To me M102 has a light beige aspect to it. I do like their matte lipstick formula, it remains creamy on the lips for a few hours for me, but I struggle with dry lips so I usually have to add a bit of a gloss or balm on top.

Middle right: Unearthly x Courtney Quarantine cream lipstick Secrets. I find this colour has a bit more pink - ever so slightly, and on the lips I feel it pulls a little purple. Very similar to M102 in colour, but a teency more pink/purple vs beige. I also find this formula to be thinner, and can wear away a bit quicker, but still love it.

Bottom right: Melt lipstick Laced. More brown than the other two, but still very close in colour. This formula - I’m still getting to know it, it’s my first melt purchase, but first impression is that the coverage is great and the creaminess lasts longer than the other two. Love!

Again, photo does not depict exaaact nuance of shades, but pretty close. Tried my best while accounting for lighting and camera. Liners look a bit darker in the photo than IRL.

Excited to be building my cool toned taupey brown lip collection :) Would love to hear others’ favourites! Kaleidos Java lip liner is on my list.

Eyeshadow Rotten x Fauna x Flora Blend Bunny

I gotta see all these colors next to each other, and find out which look the most similar but it's so hard finding swatches side by side or getting all the shades next to each other. If someone manages to find a few pictures of those I would love to see them. Ive been trying to compare the blue shades, similar but so far they all look a little different. Different enough not to get the palette? I don't know. Apparently I have to add more for the guidelines. I'm fine with finger swatches of palettes but seeing them side by side pulled out of the package would make it easier to differentiate, however they aren't released yet so I understand if it's hard to find. Just trying to compare.

REQUEST Swatch request for Maybelline, Covergirl, Wet n' Wild BB creams?

1 Upvotes

I'm on the search for a good BB cream for my skin, and I think I've got it down to three, but I don't know if the shades will match. They are: the Wet N' Wild Tinted Hydrator in shade Fair, the Covergirl Clean Matte BB Cream shade Fair or Shade Light, and the Maybelline Dream BB Pure in Shade Light. I have fair, cool-toned skin & I do struggle with some redness. If anyone has 1 or multiple of these to swatch, it would be much appreciated!

Bronzer / Contour bronzer/contour roster (light to light-med, nwo)

Post image
9 Upvotes

Sharing swatches of my bronzer/contour roster. I am a light to light-medium with neutral warm olive undertones. For shade references, I am N5 in Natasha Denona Hy-glam line, NARS Cafe Con Leche in the concealer line, B20 in Chanel bases, 5 in Hourglass Skin Tint and Illusion Glow, Fawn in HG Concealer, 5.0 in T28 Concealer, and 2N in Dior bases. My preference leans towards brontours as I find bronzers too toasty and contours too daunting.

Swatched in Natural Light (2PM) top-down:
[*] rhode pocket bronzer (sunbed) - this appears a bit warmer on my face
[*] vbb contour stylus (marble) - i use sparingly but is a bit neutral warm on my face
[*] rare beauty liquid contour (mellow) - a neutral on me but with a small hint of warmth. i like this for brontouring
[*] tanielle jai bronzour (latte) - a neutral warm on me like the rare beauty. i also love this for brontouring and even warming up other areas.
[*] hourglass ambient lighting bronzer (diffused bronze light) - since it’s a lighter shade, i can get away with a heavy hand with this. not too warm, not too cool on me which i like
[*] hourglass ambient lighting bronzer (natural bronze) - i use this with a light hand since it is quite pigmented. for some reason it has a tiny red undertone on me
[*] gucci powder bronzer (03) - like natural bronze, this is pigmented so i use it lightly. it is deeper and on my face but no orange cast. it has this more chocolate-y appearance for some reason.
[*] saie supersuede baked bronzer (amalfi) - this is like the diffused bronze light. it is easy to build since it comes on a bit sheer. this is one of my bronzer go-tos which i use to set my brontour.
[*] armani luminous silk powder bronzer (100) - another buildable powder bronzer which appears warmer on pan than on my face. this is my other powder bronzer go-to.
[*] mbm skin enhancer (light medium) - the goat of my cream/liquids. easy to use, buildable, sheer enough so you can use it with a heavy hand. my perfect brontour.

Blush Comparing Dior Dragonfruit to my NYX blushes, fair neutral/cool undertones

Thumbnail
gallery
26 Upvotes

I had debated snagging Dior Dragonfruit for a bit, I thought I might have something already similar based off of online photos. But after picking it up I would say it's different enough to warrant grabbing .

All are 1 swipe with my finger in natural light, direct and indirect.

The Dior is definitely more sheer and less pigmented than NYX but I honestly prefer that as it's easier to build up color than trying to remove color after going in too heavy handed.

Does anyone have the new spring orange fizz rosy glow blush stick to swatch? I’m pale and I’m not sure how orange this is or if it settles into a peachy shade? Comparing it to toffee would be helpful not not necessary. Thanks!

Lip Color My Whole Lipstick Collection

Thumbnail

176 Upvotes

I wanted to swatch my whole lipstick collection so I could better see them all and as someone who is terrible at throwing anything away it feels a little bit like reliving my history. Some of these, like Up the Amp and Violetta, I’ve had for over 10 years but they’re staying with me for as long as they smell and look fine because I can’t bring myself to throw them, we’ve had a lot of fun together. I’ve marked the ones that are discontinued with a *.

Photos are taken in indoor lighting and next to a window on an overcast day. I’m fair, neutral leaning cool (?). I don’t really wear foundation but my best concealer match has been NYX Bear With Me in ‘Light’.

And NARS, if you’re reading this, bring back Anita, I beg you. I was once stopped by someone while crossing a road so they could ask me name of the lipstick I was wearing because it’s that perfect.

REQUEST Hello, I was hoping someone could please swatch the new Rare beauty blush shade ‘daydream’ in comparison to ‘grace’. If you had ‘hope’ and ‘happy’ too that would be an absolute dream!! Thank you so much. ☺️

6 Upvotes

I’m pretty pale but honestly being able to compare the shades on any skin would be amazing. I already know how hope and happy look on me as a reference so mostly want to see the tone and brightness difference between daydream and grace. However if you happen to have all of them it would give me such a clear picture being able to see them side by side. Thanks again 💕

REQUEST Has anyone swatched the variety of red lipsticks from Hung Vanngo?

I'm interested in Vanngo Red, Red Carpet Red, 403 Red, and also On the Runway.

All of the reds look too similar to decide (in my opinion) and I'm just curious how On the Runway compares.

REQUEST Kosas multistick in Nuance and lipglaze in Unbuttoned

1 Upvotes

I already use the lipglaze on both my lips and cheekbones. I noticed the colour looks similar but I can't tell if it's the same and the multistick is just more matte. Would any of you be so kind and please share a swatch of them side by side if you are able?

I'm very pale with slight olive undertones. I don't mind what the swatches are on or what lighting or whatever. I'm just trying to see if they are the same colours.

Yes, this is a VERY old palette. Yes, this is discontinued. But! I have done my singles collection and I'm going to try and match some palette things (like the trio chrome in ND my dreams!) to singles.

I already swatched Lightworks 5, didn't buy 6 due to having so many similar singles, and have only a third of 7, but I SOMEHOW this one ended up being forgotten in the swatch party until now. Sorry!
