I'll start. This is an Avon one - Unforgettable. I'm not usually one for pinks but I think it's glorious!

I'm not so glad brand-wise today!
Rimmel- Asia.

This is a great colour, a lovely nude pink. It’s really one of the only pink lipstick that suits me.

Inspired by this thread, I wore lipstick today for a day of wfh 😊. Tried two liquid lipsticks I got from Primark just before lockdown. First one was very dark, almost black, wiped it off after an hour or so and changed to a neutral shade. Not so long lasting and made more of an impact on my mug of coffee than on my lips.

I fancy trying something different, has anyone tried the Glossier Generation G? I like the idea of being a matte blotted look.

SapphireSeptember · 17/09/2020 23:32

Yay! Yes please. I haven't worn any today, (not left the house.) But I shall report back tomorrow when I do my make-up for work. Grin

Mambonumber5 · 18/09/2020 07:04

Late to the party! My go to- No 7 high shine lip crayon in Rosy Blush. For me, its just the right, slightly pinky red with enough colour and shine to have some impact without looking too much on a casual look. I think of it as my chic "French girl" pop of colour- lol!

Iove these threads but since 'updating' my phone I can no longer post photos.

Mac Ruby Woo. I got it a while ago through back to Mac, but haven't worn it more than once or twice.
It's a really nice red, and the matte finish is great, but I find it so dry that it is hard to apply - I need a lip brush for it, so it is not the kind of lipstick I can just throw on and run out the door.

MadisonAvenue · 18/09/2020 09:10

MAC Mull It Over, one of my favourite shades.

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 18/09/2020 09:15

I'm in Lisa Eldridge Velvet Morning today. I always wear matte lipstick and find they are fine under a mask, although I don't use public transport so tend to just wear one for shopping, in a restaurant or whatever, for a short time.

tofuschnitzel · 18/09/2020 18:22

I do enjoy reading these threads! I am wearing a Primark lustre lipstick today. The shade is High Society.

Clinique Stellar Plum lip gloss.

It is my absolute favourite but was discontinued about 3 years ago.

I found an almost unused one in a handbag on Monday. It made me ridiculously happy.

Prettybubblesintheair · 18/09/2020 18:48

Can’t post a pic but I’m wearing MAC powder kiss liquid in “sorry not sorry”. It’s a lovely earthy red.

RedLipsAndRosyCheeks · 18/09/2020 19:13

Only just seen this thread, I love a lipstick! I tend to find a formulation I like and buy it in loads of colours.

Today I was wearing maybelline matte ink in artist

@Jemimatheragdoll
I find NYX Soft Matt Liquid Lip colour not drying.

I got a new lipstick yesterday which I've worn today - too shy for a pic but I had a few "you look well"comments. It's this one Day Club

www.temptalia.com/product/nyx-shout-loud-satin-lipstick/day-club/

It looks like a really scary bright coral but when blotted leaves a really nice subtle stain that brightens up my face - which is mind of what I want from a lipstick. Annoyingly, I watched a YT video critiquing all the NYX Shout Loud lipsticks and my shade Day Club was one of two that the reviewer didn't like. Hilariously, the other one she didn't like was Desert Rose which I also have and love Grin. We are different skin tones/hair colour though.

For reference, I'm NC25 or 3WO skin with green eyes and strawberry blonde/light copper hair.

Here's the YT video link if you'd like to see more NYX lipstick reviews

JMAngel1 · 19/09/2020 12:24

I've just realised this looks like an advert for NYX - I don't work for them honest - I just find them to be really approachable on counter and are practically half the price of MAC.

JMAngel1 · 19/09/2020 12:29

@TSSDNCOP
I hate it when Clinique discontinue lipsticks.
I still haven't got over the loss of Baby Kiss - the most perfect MLBB - it was the exact shade of the inside of my mouth.
And my beloved Ruby Glass which I wore on my wedding day - the most perfect sheer red with gold flecks.
If anyone remembers these and can recommend dupes, please tell me.

JMAngel1 · 19/09/2020 12:44

@MadisonAvenue

Just checked out Mull it over - it's gorgeous!
I have Mehr but it's a little too cool toned for me - Mull It Over looks like a much better option - for reference, what colouring do you have? Are you cool or warm toned?

Jemimatheragdoll · 19/09/2020 15:54

Thanks for that recommendation @JMAngel1
I've found NYX eyeliner to be a very good dupe for Mac if anyone is interested.

Anyhow, today's lipstick is Bobbi Brown Sandwash pink-it's my favourite 'everyday' lipstick and when I can be bothered use ballet pink lip liner (also BB)

JMAngel1 · 19/09/2020 17:55

@Jemimatheragdoll

I wish I could wear Sandwash Pink - I have it but it really washes me out - ditto Pillow Talk. I'm just not the right colouring for beautiful pink nudes unfortunately.

RedLipsAndRosyCheeks · 19/09/2020 18:07

I'm going out tonight so I'm currently wearing L'Oréal rouge signature in 115 I am worth it.

Picture attached that makes my lips look wonky, I'm pretty sure they are not wonky in real life!

ohmercy · 19/09/2020 19:23

Today's lipstick of choice is Clinique black honey. Loving the old classics at the moment.

RiskIt4Biscuit · 19/09/2020 19:42

Pat McGrath Elson. It's a nice classic red.

I am finding that matte red lipsticks go very odd on me - they almost do the opposite of feathering. I get little lines of no colour just around the edges. I assume this is because they are drying my lips?

They just make me look old.
Babysharkdoodoodood · 19/09/2020 20:26

@BorsetshireBlueBalls

Oh, I bought the Pillow Talk as well- because it looks good on EVERYONE they said. Well...sorry, no. I think I have exactly the wrong skin tone (quite fair, yellow undertones) and it just looks bland, too brown, not pink enough. On the plus side, it feels great and smells fabulous, so I just mix it with a better colour. Is there a good red in CT?
I have CT in Magic Red. It's matte and sooooo red. I use it with Lipstick Queen Medieval lipliner, then powder over it to set and I can wear a mask all day long and no smudgesGrin

@JMAngel1 I’m warm toned so it works really well on me. It’s nice to find a lipstick that suits me, I find that most are more suited to cool tones. So many people rave about Ruby Woo and it looks awful on me.

SapphireSeptember · 20/09/2020 15:08

I forgot to post!

So on Friday I wore this:
www.temptalia.com/product/colour-pop-matte-lux-lipstick/screamer/

And yesterday I wore this:
www.temptalia.com/product/colour-pop-lux-lipstick/fred/

Today I'm wearing carmex lip balm in a tube. Grin

I do own the whole collection, I love anything with bats on. Smile

I'll return next week with some weird and wonderful colours, I've got some I ❤ Revolution liquid lipsticks I got ages ago and haven't got round to wearing.
