NARS Sex Shuffle, Belle de Jour, Miramar Lipsticks (2019) Reviews & Swatches

Image
Sex Shuffle NARS Sex Shuffle Lipstick ($26.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a translucent beige base chocked full of shimmer and slightly larger sparkles. It had semi-sheer coverage in a single layer, which applied evenly and had good shimmer/sparkle dispersion. The texture was lightweight, emollient without being too slippery, but it seemed to melt slightly against my lips as I applied the product. I did notice a bit of product that sank into my deeper lip lines, though it wasn’t noticeable from a normal viewing distance. This was one of the shorter-wearing shades in the range at a mere two and a half hours, and it was lightly hydrating over time.

Melt Cosmetics Genesis Digital Dust Highlight Review & Swatches

Genesis Melt Cosmetics Genesis Digital Dust Highlight ($39.00 for 0.28 oz.) is a medium-dark, pink-coral with warm, golden shimmer throughout. It had rich pigmentation in a single layer, though the firmer, denser consistency made it easier to use a lighter hand with it to achieve more buildable coverage if preferred. The powder was firm without being stiff, so I could pick it up with a brush, apply and blend out the color easily. The finish was luminous but didn’t emphasize my skin’s natural texture, and the powder could be layered for a more intense finish, as described. It wore well for eight and a half hours on me before I noticed any fading.
