Estee Lauder Deep Secret & Demand Pure Color Matte Lipsticks Reviews & Swatches

Deep Secret Estee Lauder Deep Secret Pure Color Matte Sculpting Lipstick ($32.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a deep burgundy with cooler undertones and a satin finish. It was less of a true matte until an hour or two into wear, which was when the light sheen seemed to fade away. I also felt like there was a hint of very fine shimmer that ran through it. It had good color coverage in a single layer, but didn’t apply as evenly as I would have liked–not bad and from a distance, I think it looked just fine–but at least it didn’t sink into my lip lines over time. The consistency was smooth, more of a dense, velvety formula that glided on without feeling slippery or wet. It stayed on well for five hours, left a stain behind, and felt lightly hydrating over time. FURTHER READING : Formula Overview for details on general performance and characteristics (like scent).

Sydney Grace Allegro Pressed Highlighter Review & Swatches

Allegro Sydney Grace Allegro Highlighter ($9.00 for 0.25 oz.) is a light-medium, rosy copper with subtle, warm undertones and a smooth, metallic sheen. It had an intense glow but the shimmer seemed finer, so reflective quality was greater but did emphasize my skin’s natural texture. It had opaque color coverage in as single layer, but the creamier, slightly firmer, denser consistency made it easy to pick up less product if desired. That being said, it still yielded well to typical highlighter brushes (which are often less-dense than blush brushes) and picked up product evenly. The highlighter applied well to bare skin and diffused readily along the edges. It stayed on well for eight and a half hours before fading slightly.

Marc Jacobs Allow Me, Boom, Rebel Rebel Enamored Lip Lacquers Reviews & Swatches

Allow Me (302) Marc Jacobs Beauty Allow Me (302) Enamored Hi-Shine Lip Lacquer ($29.00 for 0.16 oz.) is a medium, warmer-toned pink base with flecks of gold sparkle throughout. The consistency was smooth, more like a gel-cream, that was plush to wear but not heavy or too tacky. It had medium coverage, which applied fairly evenly over my lips and smoothed out a lot of my lip lines. It stayed on well for four hours and felt hydrating over time.
