Bite Beauty Braised & Supreme Amuse Bouche Liquified Lipsticks

Braised

Bite Beauty Braised Amuse Bouche Liquified Lipstick ($24.00 for 0.25 fl. oz.) is a bold, reddish plum with subtle, warm undertones and a cream finish. It was nearly opaque in pigmentation with a very smooth, lightweight consistency that spread evenly across the lips and was very comfortable to wear. The texture was lightly tacky but never heavy or goopy, and it seemed to sit better on the lips than other shades as well. The color stayed on for almost six hours and was moisturizing over time.

The Amuse Bouche Liquified Lipstick is supposed to be “moisture-rich, high-pigment” in a “liquified” consistency that has a “creamy, comfortable application.” It’s a lightweight, fluid consistency that was neither runny nor thick on the lips. It does not dry down and feels mostly like a liquid-form of a lipstick (and not so much like a gloss). The majority of the range was incredibly pigmented and spread evenly across the lips. Some shades had a bit of color that sat in my lip lines, which was noticeable from a normal viewing distance with a few but not all. It had a lightly tacky feel on the lips, which helped to adhere as none of the shades I have tested have feathered on me. The formula was lightly hydrating, wore for four to seven hours, and had a light, herbal, lemony scent but no discernible taste.

If you’ve been following Bite for awhile, you might remember the Cashmere Lip Creams from a few years ago, which were also a liquid formula. Unfortunately, I had a couple leak on me and ended up tossing all of them out of fear, so I couldn’t do a true comparison, but from my memory, it was slightly thicker and less tacky while both had a more natural shine after initial application.

Bite Beauty Supreme Amuse Bouche Liquified Lipstick ($24.00 for 0.25 fl. oz.) is a rich berry with cool undertones and a cream finish. It had good color coverage–just shy of full coverage as I could see a hint of my lip freckle peeking through–that covered the lips evenly and smoothly. The liquid lipstick was smooth, lightweight, not too thin or too thick, and easy to work with on the lips. There was a smidgen of color that pulled into my deeper lip lines, but between the color and the opacity, it was not noticeable from a normal viewing distance. The color lasted for six hours and left a stain behind, while the formula was hydrating.
