Lip gloss where you can notice the colour

[gracehedley]

Any recommendations for coloured lip gloss that actually looks like a colour please? Spent ages trying out lip glosses in squeezy tubes today, colours looked lovely in tubes but could hardly see any colour when on lips, very feeble and disappointing, or is that just what they are all like? Thanks all

The "buxom" lipglosses from bare minerals are fab. I have a darkish red (can't remember the name, sorry - the colour comes through really well though).

My friend lives in the Dior shine lipsticks and the colours look great on her, but I find they don't suit my skin tone as well. Worth looking at maybe.

yy Chanel Rouge Coco Shine. Some of the colours are fab (v difficult to tell how they will come out though - you really need to test on lips not swatch on hand) and it is so lightweight. Am currently wearing Monte Carlo at all times - sheer v flattering red

I saw an ad for a lip gloss by collection 2000 which is meant to stay put for 6 hours, i think it was called lock and hold. It reminded me of this thread.

I like the No7 glosses - they are not a lip stick but more than a gloss and stay on ages.

Everlasting lipgloss from Avon has excellent lasting power and the colours look good. I use the neverending nude and although it's not a dark colour, it's not sticky and it really does last for about 5 hours (drinking coffee/tea etc during that time too). If you don't like the colour you can send it back to Avon and try another colour for no extra cost (there are 6 to choose from I think).

Nina Ricci do good stronger colour lip glosses. Also Bobbi Brown and Dior.

Im not a fan of Benefit tbh.

What about the new GOSH range at Superdrug? the colours look good

[Havingkittens]

grace - I'm a make up artist, which might explain my obsessive knowledge!

[lou33]

No they are not glossy. But you can apply gloss on top.

They've stopped making Almost Lipstick except in that colour, apparently. I still buy it from Fenwick.

[gracehedley]

ooh black honey thank you tawdry. Thats not the one that they stopped making though is it?

[noddyholder]

Laura mercier are good but not cheap

[gracehedley]

yes the ones that look like marker pens? might try some out. But not glossy are they.

[TaudrieTattoo]

Try Clinique Almost Lipstick in Black Honey. It's brilliant.

[lou33]

You would have to put a fair bit on yes. What about the new lip stain pens on the market?

[gracehedley]

thanks havingkittens, you sound v knowledgeable. Have got some benetint but it doesn't stay on long and not glossy. High maintenance aren't I ...

[Havingkittens]

If you're looking for something that you want to see the colour of though, I wouldn't bother with benetint or posie tint. You can just about see it when you put it on and it wears off within half an hour!

[lou33]

Yes they do. Those or high beam are free with the magazine. I am a big benefit fan. Posie tint is more pink, benetint is more red, but both a natural tint.

[lou33]

You could try a lip stain, like posie tint or benetint from benefit , which can be used on lips and cheeks.

Bobbi Brown's lip glosses definitely have a decent amount of pigment in them

[katkitya]

Actually, Dior is good. I've had one for five years and people still notice it!

[Havingkittens]

You probably want more of a lip lacquer. Nars do nice ones in pots. Illamasqua liplosses are really intensely coloured too, but mostly not neutral shades like brown. They do one brownish one though, slightly shimmery. MAC Lipglass is generally also quite well pigmented. I think Chanel do stronger colours, and maybe Dior. Dior used to do a product called Plastic Shine, I'm not sure if they still do but if not you can find some shades online. That's completely opaque coloured gloss.
