Pink Lipstick Comparisons


Comparison

I was looking at a few of my lipsticks a few days ago and I was wondering how some looked like when compared to each other. From my lipstick stash, I picked out four lipsticks to compare. The four I chose are Milani's Rose Hip, Maybelline's Fuchsia Flash, Hot Plum & Vivid Rose from their Vivids lip color line.


The lipsticks from the tube each looks different than one another. Rose Hip looks like a warm bright pink, Fuchsia Flash looks like a cool bright pink, Hot Plum looks like a purple-pink & Vivid Rose looks like a red-pink.


When swatched on the arm, Fuchsia Flash and Hot Plum look kind of similar, but there are differences because Hot Plum looks a bit more purple. Rose hip looks a lot warmer, while Vivid Rose is more red than the rest.


All of these haave a shiny finish to them. When swatched on the lips, the one that does not look similar to the rest is Vivid Rose, and the other three looks pretty similar. Although the arm swatch shows that Rose Hip & Hot Plum are different, I feel like they are the most similar on the lips because when I apply Rose Hip, it is slightly purple on my lips for some reason, but Rose Hip is definitely creamier and slightly more pigmented than Hot Plum.

Out of the four lipsticks, I have previously reviewed two of them, which are two of the Vivids in this post from Maybelline. I thought it was pretty interesting to see a slight difference when swatched on arm & lips.

What do you think about bright pink lipsticks? Is there a favorite pink for you? :)

  1. I love bright pinks. This was such a fun post because I love how you divided your lip into sections so we could see them on side by side. Genius! I love Vivid Rose!

    1. I love that you liked this post! :) I wish I could have included more, but my lip can only hold up to four colors for people to see the difference between them, lol! Vivid Rose is amazing! :)

  2. I love how you compared these; very creative! I've been reading all your reviews of the brights, but I chicken out whenever I try to buy them.

    1. Thanks!! :) Maybe you can buy one to try when it's on sale & then wear it around the house first until you feel a bit more comfortable to wear them out?

  3. Love the 4 swatch lip! Perfection! I feel like you are one of those people who can pull off just about any lip color!

    1. Haha thanks! I can only pull off darker shades, lighter shades like Viva Glam Gaga (both of them) will never work for me without washing me out badly, lol.
